9. Slide 2 Gutter Spans under each Corner Bracket so
that they line up under the slots as shown, with the “V”
Groove facing up. The “Hook” of the Gutter span must en-
gage the upper edge of the gutter, with the opposite end
positioned in the middle of the gutter groove (see Fig 3B).

10. The lower edge of each Corner Bracket fits snugly into
the top of the Gutter Span. Place the J-Hooks around the
outside edge of rain gutter (see Fig 3B).
11. Center the Crossbars by measuring from the end of each
Corner Bracket, to the Crossbar ends, left and right.
12. Tighten the T-Bolts on the underside of the Crossbar to
240 in/lbs. (20 ft/lbs.) to secure the Corner Brackets to
the Crossbar.
13. Now tighten all Socket Head Cap Screws to 120 in/lbs.
(10 ft/lbs.) with the supplied Allen Wrench.
14. Reposition the Crossbar Tiedowns where desired.
Now you’re ready to go!
CAUTION: Re-torque all fasteners after first 100 miles to
adjust for settling. Recheck all torques every 3000 miles.
Prolonged driving, vibrations may cause the fasteners to
loosen.
Capacity – The TracVan System is rated for a capacity of
500 lbs., evenly distributed over all racks, assuming normal
driving conditions and loading.
Do not exceed the racks’ rated capacity, as you could
damage the van’s rain gutter.
Secure loads carefully and exercise caution at all times.
• We recommend using transverse ratchet straps to securely
tie down cargo.
• Run additional ratchet straps around the front & rear of
loads, attaching them to the Crossbars to prevent any load
shifting during acceleration and stopping.
