STEP 1. Remove the two #10-24 Screws that hold the front and rear side rails together. Unbolt and remove both front

rails from the front Crossmember. Unbolt the Adjustable Ladder Clamp and corresponding Ladder Sway Brace from

the front Crossmember if you plan on moving them to the 225-3 Crossmember.

STEP 2. Fasten the Mounting Brackets to the Stands just loose enough so the Mounting Brackets will pivot on the

bolts (see Figure 2.).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: This instruction sheet is designed for vehicles with the van rack already installed. If installing the 225-3 while

installing a 223-3 or 224-3, follow those instructions, which will refer you back to this instruction sheet when necessary.

*NOTE: If installing the rack on a
Windstar van, use the 5/16-18 x 1-1/4"
Carriage bolt (removed from the front
Crossmember/Stand) in place of the
5/16-18 x 7/8" Carriage Bolt if
fastening the Stand and an Adjustable
Clamp Assembly to the Crossmember.
Use a 5/16- 18 x 7/8" carriage bolt
from the 225-3 bolt kit to replace the
5/16-18 x 1-1/4' carriage bolt used for
the 225-3.
