PRORAC GUIDELINES

Please review the instructions and warranty carefully. Assembly and installation are the purchaser’s responsibility and beyond ProRac’s control.

Therefore, ProRac exclusively limits its warranty to the repair or replacement of a defective ProRac product for up to three years from retail purchase.

Warranty excludes damage to your vehicle, cargo, or any person or property during assembly, installation, and use.

♦Make sure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps, and locks are firmly attached, tightened, and locked before every trip. All fasteners must be periodically

inspected for signs of wear, corrosion, and fatigue. Check your load at stops during long trips to ensure continued fastening security.

♦Check all local and state laws governing projection of objects beyond the width and length of vehicle. Be aware of the width and height of your

cargo since low-clearance branches, bridges, and parking garages can affect the load. 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.

♦Remove your rack and accessories when they are not in use and before entering automatic car washes.

♦All locks must be turned and moved periodically to ensure smooth operation. Use graphite or similar dry lubricant. Locks are designed to deter

vandalism and theft. Remove valuable gear if your vehicle is unattended. Replacement keys are available only through your ProRac dealer.

♦All cargo will affect the vehicle’s driving behavior. For your safety, adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and load being carried. Obey all

posted speed limits and traffic cautions.
