PRO RAC 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.
♦Do not carry more than 150 pounds (68KG) of combined cargo and accessories on ProRac crossbars. ProRac crossbars do not increase gutter
or roof strength. ProRac cannot warranty loads that exceed this limit.
♦Do not use ProRac crossbars 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 instructions will void the warranty.
♦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.

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 posted speed limits and traffic cautions.
