position the Bar onto the (4) Mounting Brackets. IMPORTANT: Do not slide the Bar on the

damaged by the brackets.

8. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
Products have a high quality finish that must be cared for like any other exposed finish on the vehicle. Protect
the finish with a non-abrasive automotive wax, (e.g.Pure Carnauba ) on a regular basis. The use of any soap,
polish or wax that contains an abrasive is detrimental, as the compounds scratch the finish and open it to
corrosion.
