use guidelines
When using Leitner Designs carriers and accessories, the user must understand the precautions.
The points listed below will assist you in using the rack system and will encourage safety.
•For quality fits and safety, use only the recommended rack or accessories. Do not assume a rack
will fit, always check the current Fit Guide when obtaining a new vehicle.
•Never fill the hydrod with anything other than fresh clean potable water.
•high speed off road driving even with a light load can cause damage to the rack, accessories
and vehicle body. Damage caused by high speed driving and abuse is not covered under
warranty.
•Make sure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps, and locks are firmly attached, tightened and locked
before every trip. Knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks must be periodically inspected for signs
of wear, corrosion, and fatigue. Check your load at stops during the trip to ensure continued
fastening security.
•Check local and state laws governing projection of objects beyond the perimeter of a vehicle.
Be aware of the width and height of your cargo since low clearance branches, bridges, and
parking garages can affect the load. All cargo will affect the vehicle’s driving behavior. Never
drive with any lock, knob or rack in an open or unlocked position. All long loads such as, but
not limited to, sailboards, surfboards, kayaks, canoes, and lumber must be tied down front and
rear to the bumpers or tow hooks of the vehicle.
•All locks must be turned and moved periodically to ensure smooth operation. Use graphite or
dry lubricant to help this. Leitner designs locks are designed to deter vandalism and theft but
should not be considered theft proof. Remove valuable gear if your vehicle is unattended for an
extended period. Place at least one key in the glove compartment.
•For safety to your vehicle and rack system, obey all posted speed limits and traffic cautions.
Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and the load being carried.
•Do not use Leitner Designs load carriers and accessories for purposes other than those
for which they were designed. Do not exceed their carrying capacity. Failure to follow these
guidelines or the product’s instructions will void the warranty.
