REFINISHING PROCEDURES
All WEATHER GUARD© products are
finished with a polyester powder
coating, and it is important to follow
these procedures to get proper
adhesion. As Knaack
LLC
cannot
control the finishing of the products,
the warranty for WEATHER GUARD®
products on paint is not applicable on
refinished products.
1. Sand the surface to be painted with
180-200 grit sand paper to rough up the
surface. This should be followed by wet
sanding with a 400 grit wet or dry paper.
2. Wipe down the sanded surface with
ketone based thinner. This removes the
dust and softens the powder coating for
better paint adhesion.
3. Wipe sanded area with a tack rag to
remove loose dust and particles before
painting.
NOTE: Do not use a lacquer over the
powdered coating.

6. Slide the Lower Sockets toward the
rack and mark for drilling.
7. Slide the Lower Sockets out of the
way and drill the holes you have just
marked with a 1/4" drill bit.
8. Apply Sealant around the drilled
holes and fasten the Lower Sockets.
9. Center the screen assembly be-
tween the ladder rack legs and tighten
the Socket bolts.
10. Use the sealant provided, to seal
all of the screws, bolts and ends of
the screen frame crossmembers.
5. Apply sealant around a drilled hole
and bolt one Upper Socket to that lad-
der rack leg. Repeat the procedure on
the opposite ladder rack leg.
3. Measure from the bottom of the
Crossmember to the center of the
brake light on the cab. Subtract 1-5/8"
from that dimension. Use this dimen-
sion to mark and drill the top holes on
the legs (
see Figure 3.).
4. Insert all four Screen Sockets into
the Screen Frame crossmembers. Lift
the Screen assembly into place with
the weld nut side facing the rear of
the vehicle.
