WEATHER GUARD Model 2521 EZ-GLIDE® Accessory Cross Member, Full-Size, GM - Manual

Read and understand all instructions and warnings before operating or using this product.
This product is only intended and only safe for transporting ladders. It is the responsibility of the user to secure these
materials to the rack before transporting.
Ladders must be secured per ANSI standard A142.2-1990 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 structural col-
lapse resulting in serious injury or death. Place ladder in a raised position before transporting. Driving with rack in lowered
position may cause serious injury or damage to vehicle, ladder, rack or persons.
Any modification or unintended use of this product shall immediately void all manufacturers warranties. Manufacturer dis-
claims all liability for injuries to persons or property resulting from any modification to, or unintended use of this product.
Never load your rack to exceed the safe capacity of your vehicle. Heavy loads when carried high can dangerously alter the
center of gravity.
Loads should be approximately centered front to rear. 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.
