CAUTION: All 1/4-20 x 3/8” safety locking bolts must be
installed, and all knobs tightened prior to operating the
vehicle on the road.
Now you’re ready for the overhead rack assembly!
For good performance and safety, periodically check that
the base rails remain parallel and secure. Re-torque all fas-
teners to the proper specification after the first 500 miles,
and every 10,000 miles thereafter.
Please review the enclosed CAUTION sheet for additional
guidelines.
Installation Tips: Base Rails
1. To keep Base Rails flat/in plane: use the shim supplied,
and/or the rubber tape strips!
2. If you plan on removing the base rails in the near future,
tape the pocket nuts onto the rubber blocks – so when
you lift them out you’ll avoid losing the pocket nut
3. Tape the supplied Allen Driver to your socket, so it stays
attached. Or, if a socket wrench isn’t handy, use a cres-
cent wrench to grip the driver. Also, really handy T-grip/
handled Allen drivers are sold – they’re a great help!
