that B Crossbrace (3) will slide onto B Up-
right (6). Then tighten Set Screw (1) to
secure both in place.

WARNING
Setting up and mount-
ing the Truck Rack to the truckbed requires
some assembly. The components can be
bulky to position in place; it is recommended
that two people complete the assembly and
setup. If you are not experienced in doing
this type of setup work, the installation of the
Truck Rack should be done by qualified
service technicians.
The truck liner material
cannot interfere with the placement of the
Bracket Tube (10) installation; liner interfer-
ence can cause the brackets and load to
become loose from the truck, resulting in
property damage, personal injury or death.
