•ALWAYS thoroughly inspect your rack for loose parts and/or signs of damage prior to each use, installation or
removal.
•NEVER use your rack until any loose parts have been properly secured or damaged parts have been properly
replaced.
•Maximum weight capacity rating applies only to an evenly distributed and properly secured load on a properly
installed rack.
•NEVER exceed the evenly distributed maximum weight capacity of this rack.
•NEVER exceed the rated maximum weight capacity of the truck on which this rack is installed. Refer to the truck’s
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
•Carrying any load can be hazardous. All loads must be tied down securely to the rack to prevent them from
