wrench and a 3/16” hex wrench to tighten all fasteners to approximately 30 lb./ft.
in eight places. The rack is now ready to be mounted onto its mounting surface.
Step 4: (A) The two options above are shown as recommended options for optimal
placement of your Burco® V-rack. The rack performs best mounted offset from the
center of the vehicle. The shorter base section of the rack should be positioned toward
the vehicle’s center line. This positioning utilizes the taller roof and will allow the rack
to accommodate larger windshields. (B) Use a tape measure to mark the center of the
mounting surface. Once the rack is positioned where you would like it, use a marker
to mark these six drilling locations. READ STEP 5 PRIOR TO DRILLING.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 5: (A) Be aware of any and all equipment that is located below rack before
installing. If drilling holes into the floor or bed of a vehicle, verify clearance of any gas
lines, gas tanks, exhaust parts, or anything that is located directly underneath the
mounting holes. (B) Once you verify that it is safe to drill through the mounting surface,
drill holes with a letter “x” (.397”) drill bit in six locations. (C) Place the rack over the
drilled holes and then place (6 sets) of 3/8 x 1-3/4” bolts and 3/8” flat washers into each
of the six holes. (D) From underneath the vehicle, securely tighten (6 sets) of 3/8” nuts,
3/8” lock washers, and 3/8” flat washers.
