UPGRADE BAR SYSTEM

To be used with existing SporTrek Side Rails Only

WARNING: External roof racks do not increase the GVWR of the vehicle. Maximum load for this rack is 180 lbs. evenly
distributed on crossbar assemblies. Keep in mind that torque applied to any straps, cords, etc. between the load and the vehicle
body effectively add "load weight" to crossbars and the roof. Large or flat items such as plywood or watercraft can trap air
and create wind lift. Secure the ends of such objects directly to the vehicle bumpers or tie downs. Bulky or tall loads can
create tremendous horizontal wind resistance from headwinds and crosswinds.Extreme caution should be used when transporting
such loads, taking into consideration road conditions, vehicle speed, crosswinds, load securing methods, etc. Large, bulky,
tall or flat objects should be properly secured to both crossbars and other attachment points on the vehicle body. Check rack
adjustment points and load securement frequently. PERRYCRAFT, Inc. does not assume responsibility for style or size of
rack installed, improper rack installation, exceeding rack load limit, load securement methods, vehicle roof strength, wind
lift or any other factors beyond its control. All fasteners, knobs, and load securements should be checked frequently and
tightened as necessary.

For technical assistance, please contact PERRYCRAFT, INC. at 800-777-7081.
