Today on our 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon well be test fitting the Yakima double down ace
4, part number Y02451. To mount the carrier to the vehicle, once were at the shank of
the carrier into the receiver tube of the hitch, well lineup the pinhole and use our
securing pin to hold the rack in place. Then well use the hand *** at the base of the
carrier to tighten up our anti-rattle device. With our bike carrier mounted well go ahead
and go over a handful of clearance measurements. Weve got about 11.5 of ground clearance and
about 2.5 of clearance between the closest part of the carrier and the closest part of
the vehicle. Overall weve added about 9 of length to the rear of our vehicle with the
carriers arms folded down. Now we also want to check for rear vehicle
access. Well use the pull pin at the base of the rack to release it and tilt the carrier
down. We want to make sure that we can open the cargo door on our Outback and access the
area even with the bike carrier installed. Now we can put the bike rack back up and prepare
to load a bike. Well use the switch at the top of the carrier to fold the carrier arms out.
