STEP 1
1Measure from center of front crossbar to estimated
location of the ShortCut RQ reel box. Generally it is
best to spread vehicle crossbars as far as possible.
• If 62” or less front crossbar needs to shift
forward to be more than 62” from Reel Box.
• If Reel Box touches roof of vehicle with mounts
installed then the ShortCut RQ needs to be flipped
upside down.

NOTE: Quick Release and LP T-Track Mounts are lower-
profile than Standard Mounts and may require flipping the
ShortCut RQ upside down to avoid the Reel Box hitting the
roof of your vehicle.
