The patented FastRack System was developed to securely hold your toys in place during transport or storage. Protect your investments from damage. Designed to fit toy haulers, trailers, pick-ups and even your garage floor this system offers flexibility of use along with a wide range of optional accessories to make your rack the most versatile it can be for your needs. With its patented Easy in Easy Out mount system FastRack is simple to install and remove. In pick-ups the rack can be installed only when needed then removed freeing up the truck box for other needs. Once assembled and installed in your toy hauler or trailer FastRack offers multiple features to hold multiple motorcycles or quads safely in place. With the Deluxe Kit you get components to move your FastRack from a trailer, to a pick-up and then to the garage depending on where you need the rack. Units are available in widths from 36 inches to 72 inches. The 36 inch rack will hold three bikes in a trailer or two bikes in a small pick-up, while the 48 inch rack will hold four bikes in a trailer and three bikes in a full size pick-up. Units in the 60 inch and 72 inch sizes will hold five and six bikes respectively. Any combination of quads and bikes can be configured depending on your individual needs. When you arrive at your destination the rack system is quickly and easily removed leaving only the floor mount plates. This frees up all of the precious space inside for other activities. No large pylons or brackets to get in the way of chairs, couches, beds, etc. Roll out your carpet and you never even know the mount plates are there. Options include extra wheel docks for additional front wheel positions, a garage floor mount kit for mounting your rack on the garage floor, Racklock Security Bars for safe storage and transport. Other benefits include powder coated mounting components and zinc plated fasteners to mount the FastRack in vehicles with steel, aluminum or wood floors. Installation instructions are included in every kit. Assembly and drilling is required with these units.
FASTRACK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION
A unique racking system that allows for quick adjustments to
custom fit your motorcycle, bicycles, ATV and other items you wish to transport securely and safely.
In addition to the quick and easy adjustments. The beauty of the FastRack system is its special feature of fast removal and replacement.
This means you gain back valuable space easily removing the racks. Leaving a virtually flat floor with no obstructions
to work around or remain in the way.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Electric drill, 1 hole saw, a 3/16 and 9/32 drill bit, a #2 Phillips screw bit, 5 mm hex wrench (included in this kit ), 9/16
socket & ratchet, 9/16 open end wrench, 10 measuring tape, safety glasses and a pencil or grease pen.
LAYOUT
Read the following instructions carefully and completely before beginning your installation of the FastRack. This will insure
proper clearance and safe installation.
Determine the location you will be installing the FastRack. Keep in mind clearance for the handlebars and front tire space from
the walls, couches and cabinets. Usually 2 to 3 inches will be sufficient. Also consider access to doors, cabinets and electrical
switches etc.. Do you want the ability to walk around your Motorcycles and ATVs while they are secured on the racks? Is
your rack location in a position to utilize a FastRack Quad Link or Rear Wheel Dock?
1. Lay all the FastRack components out and compare with the parts list. Be sure all counts are correct before starting
the installation. Locate the (2) U-plates with dimples for use on the lower header. If any discrepancies are present
call Hellwig Products Tech Support Division ( 1-800-367-5480 ).
2. As in figure #1. assemble all the FASTRACK components except the floor plates and eye bolts. Tighten to finger
tight at this time. Remember to use the (2) U-plates with dimples on the lower header.
3. Using the above suggestions for clearance and layout, begin positioning the floor plates for drilling. Place the assembled
FASTRACK in the exact spot you want the rack to bolt down. Using a marker, transfer the hole locations
on the racks lower legs to the floor. Set the rack aside and place the two floor plates on the floor in an inverted position,
or upside down over the transfer marks just made on the floor. Double check the plate holes to the scribed
marks on the floor as a second check of the floor plate positions. As a further check of proper alignment measure
from left to right across the width of the floor marks to be sure the plates will be parallel. Both the front and the rear
holes should have the same dimensions. See chart figure # 2. Then, measure the hole marks in a cross pattern from
left front to right rear and from right front to left rear. This dimension must be equal to within 1/8. Adjust your
marks if necessary then place the assembled FASTRACK over the marks once again. If dimensions are satisfactory
go the next step.
4. Stop ! Before you drill the first hole. Inspect under the floor or deck directly below the area the floor plates will be
screwed down. Be sure there is no interference or risk of drilling into a fuel tank, water tank, or holding tank. Also,
check for clearance on all electrical and fuel lines, pipes, tubes, air ducts, plumbing or any other features that could
be damaged a drill bit or screw being driven into them.
FOR WOOD AND LINOLEUM COVERED WOOD FLOORS.
5. Once proper clearance and safety is achieved install the floor plates, began drilling the four (1) clearance holes
for the floor plates. Drill just deep enough to clear the slug from the floor, to avoid contacting the frame or frame
mount components. Position the floor plates in the newly drilled mount locations as shown in the diagram. If all your
dimensions are correct, take (2) of the self drilling, self tapping screws provided and screw into each end of the floor
plates. Again, recheck your layout dimensions before you continue. Re-adjust the floor plates if necessary. The end
screws will hold the floor plates in a secured position so that the pilot holes can be drilled in the remaining exposed
holes in the floor plates.
6. Pilot drill the remaining (11) holes in each of the floor plates using a 3/16 drill bit. Once drilled remove the floor
plates, and drill, and pilot drill the remaining four (4) holes, created the self tapping screws. With the floor plates
removed, re-drill all the pilot holes using a 9/32 drill bit. Drill all the pilot holes to this dimension. Begin installing
the wood screw inserts as shown. Using a 5mm hex driver, install an insert into all the pre-drilled holes in the
wood surface mount area. Carefully drive in the inserts until the flange is flush with the floor. Once the inserts have
been installed, align the floor plates over the installed inserts. Finish securing the floor plates using the 10/32
machine screws provided. Tighten securely. The floor plate installation is complete. Skip to step # 7.
FOR ALUMINUM AND METAL FLOORS AND TRUCK BEDS
7. Follow the same layout procedures as with the wood floors. Drill the four (1) clearance holes as in the diagram
provided. Place the floor plates into position and check your dimensions. Using the self tapping screws, screw down
the extreme corners of the floor plates ( two screws per plate ). Do not drill pilot holes. Re-check your dimensions!
Use the #2 Phillips drill bit and finish driving in the remaining self tapping screws. Drive the self tapping screws into
the metal until secure. Do not over tighten. The installation of the floor plates is complete.
A D J U STMENT
8. Loosen the various fasteners on the FASTRACK to aid in adjusting the rack. Adjust the FASTRACK to fit the
motorcycle (s) that will be secured on the rack as follows. Place the assembled FastRack on the preinstalled floor
plates. Secure the FastRack with the (1/2) eyebolts that are supplied. Remove the upper bolt from both of the angled
leg braces. Move the motorcycle into position up against the FastRack. With the help of someone else hold the
motorcycle straight up and down. While holding the upper header remove the clip pins from the lower legs.
Slide the headers up or down to best fit the front tire. Watch for fender clearance if appropriate. When the best
clearance has been achieved replace the clip pins on the lower legs. Install the upper bolts on the angle leg braces.
Slide the vertical wheel docks up against the front tire. Tighten all the mounting bolts securely. Recheck periodically
thereafter.
R E M O V A L, INS T A LLATION AND USE
9. To remove the FastRack, take any Motorcycle (s) etc. away from the FastRack. Simply unscrew the four eyebolts
at the base of each leg. To reinstall, position the FastRack back over the floor plates and tighten down the legs with
the (4) eyebolts. Tighten securely using a wooden or plastic rod.
10.The most effective and simple method to secure equipment to the FastRack is the traditional motorcycle tie strap
with a thumb release buckle. For the larger Motorcycles the ratchet type tie down will provide the best degree of
security. To insure the best stability for equipment installed on the FastRack use multiple tie points and tie downs.
11.While transporting Motorcycles, Quads or any other equipment with FastRack always check your load periodically.
Look for any changes in the position of the equipment. Adjust if necessary and retighten the straps as required.
