ATTENTION: PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
BEFORE ASSEMBLING, INSTALLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT.
This product is only intended for, and only safe for transporting ladders, lumber, pipe and other similar materials. It is the responsibility of the user to
secure these materials to the rack before transporting. These instructions are to be followed using the parts and fasteners supplied for proper installation.
Any modifications made to this product, or use of this product for any other purpose than its intended use, could create a hazardous condition that
can cause serious personal injury or property damage.
Ladder must be secured per ANSI standard A1422-1990 paragraph 8.4.4. Ladder damage will occur from road shock and vehicle vibration if the ladder
is not properly secured to the ladder rack. Bouncing and side to side motion of an improperly secured ladder will cause wear and weaken the ladder.
Using a damaged ladder could lead to a structural collapse and could result in a serious injury or death.

VAN EQUIPMENT
NOTE
We have found varying tolerances between the top of the doors and the rain gutters on the 1992 to present full-size vans. Before placing van rack
on vehicle, check the door clearance with the bottom clamp, by holding it to the underside of the rain gutter and slowly opening the door. If the door
hits, you will have to move the clamp to where more clearance is available. Some cases may require moving the clamps rearward of the driver and
passenger side doors.
– NOTICE –
Any modification or unintended use of this product shall immediately void all manufacturers warranties. Manufacturer disclaims all liability for injuries
to persons or property resulting from any modification to, or unintended use of this product.
CAUTION
Load should be approximately centered front to rear on all vehicles. Failure to do this will cause damage to the vehicle roof. Long loads that extend
out the rear of the vehicle will prevent the rear hatch from fully opening and cause damage if attempted.
Do not apply too much pressure when drilling. Too much pressure may cause dimples in the roof around the holes. Also, there may be a danger of
penetrating the interior head liner. To keep debris out of your eyes when drilling, always wear protective eyewear.
