PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO
ASSEMBLING, INSTALLING, AND USING THIS PRODUCT.
Warning
Always check for wires, fuel tanks and lines, brake lines and other important
vehicle functionality items prior to drilling and installing all products.
Too much weight will greatly reduce the stability of your vehicle. The
manufacturer makes no representation or warranty as to the amount of weight
your vehicle can safely carry. For guidance, we recommend that you consult
the vehicle manufacturer. At no time should the weight of the vehicle, rack,
driver, passengers and cargo loaded on a rack exceed either the Gross Vehicle
Weight Ratio (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Ratio (GAWR) as specified by
the vehicle manufacturer.
Do not use your rack with the rear cross bar removed. Removal of rear crossbar
will affect structural integrity of the rack.
Secure all payloads properly for safe transportation.
A large area is required to assemble rack. Be sure to keep area clear of trip and
fall hazards.
Before You Begin
Read all instructions carefully, and follow each step in proper sequence, for ease and speed in
assembling your rack.
PROPER SEALANT APPLICATION IS CRITICAL TO PREVENTING WATER PENETRATION
INSIDE THE RACK. Apply a healthy bead of sealant entirely around every swaged joint and
every bolt going through tubing. Improper sealing can lead to water penetration and rust
on inside surfaces.

Sealant Application
Proper sealant application is critical to preventing water penetration inside the
rack.
Apply a healthy bead of sealant entirely around every swaged joint as shown. Improper
sealing can lead to water penetration and rust on inside surfaces.
Wipe any excess sealant off immediately with a plastic scraper or paper towel. Any smeared
sealant can be rubbed off as soon as sealant dries.
Maintain this seal throughout the life of your rack.
