WARNING
Ladders must be secured per
ANSI standard A142.2-1990
paragraph 8.4.4. Ladder dam-
age will occur from road shock
and vehicle vibration if the lad-
der is not properly secured to
the ladder rack. Bouncing and
side to side motion of a im-
properly secured ladder will
cause wear and weaken the
ladder. Using a damaged ladder
could lead to a structural col-
lapse and could result in a seri-
ous injury or death.
Step 4. Sealant
Seal all seams and crevices, such as
socket tube ends.
Step 5. Tie Down Loop and

Secure the Tie Down Loop to the
Crossmember after determining where
you want it to hold your ladder. With a
Ladder on the rack, locate the Ladder
Stop inside of the ladder and then se-
cure. Insert a strap through the loop on
the Ladder Stop and on the front
Crossmember. Refer to the warning
