UTILI-TRACK™ CHANNEL SYSTEM

(if so equipped)

WARNING

Properly install and tighten the tie-

down cleats into the Utili-track™ chan-

nel system. Also, do not attach any rope

or straps directly to the channel. Failure

to properly install the tie-down cleats or

attaching ropes or straps directly to the

channel can cause the cargo to become

unsecured. In a sudden stop or colli-

sion, unsecured cargo could cause per-

sonal injury.

Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

straps to help prevent it from sliding or

shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,

unsecured cargo could cause personal

injury.

The Utili-track™ channel system allows you to

move tie-down clamps in the bed to the best

location to secure a load.
The tie-down cleats must be installed so the

clamp is properly seated in the notches in the rail.

If the tie-down cleat is not seated in the notches,

it will not be flush with the rail and cannot be

properly tightened. The bolt in the center of the

cleat must be tightened hand tight (20 – 40 inch

pounds)

Check the tightness of the tie-down cleat peri-

odically during a trip to make sure the center bolt

has not become loose.
Install the tie-down cleat as follows:

1. Remove the channel protectors by sliding

them out the back of the truck bed. Properly

store the channel protectors.

2. Loosen the center bolt completely.
