Page 13

Unit will need to be placed on roof in a
position where the handle will be be-
tween 3" - 6" behind van. There are a
few preliminary steps you need to take
to make sure you use the correct holes
in mounting base. THIS RACK WAS
DESIGNED TO FIT VANS WITH
ROOF RIBS SPACED 24" APART. IF
YOUR VAN DOES NOT HAVE THIS
SPACING, YOU MUST SUPPLY
PROPER REINFORCEMENT ON IN-
SIDE OF VEHICLE.

3" - 6"

STEP 17
Place a Mounting Base up on roof with
the two large holes facing up. These
two holes will be used to mount to the
roof ribs. One of the three small holes
will be used to mount the rotation kit to
the Mounting Base.

22-1/2" - 25-1/2"

STEP 18
Line up large holes so they are cen-
tered on roof ribs closest to the back of
the van. To get proper handle clear-
ance of 3" to 6" from the back of van,
you will need to locate one of the small
holes so that it is between 22-1/2" to
25-1/2" from hole to back of the van
(See Illustration).
It may be necessary to rotate mounting
base so a small hole is in that range.
