ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. Position the front Mounting Plate of the Upright leg as close to the cab as possible. Locate the
pre-drilled hole in the footplate that is furthest from the leg and drill a 3/8” hole through the truck’s bed rail.
(FIG 1) A second hole for a bolt must be drilled through both the footplate and the truck’s bed rail as close
as possible to the front leg without sacricing access to the bolt underneath the truck’s bed rail. This bolt
must be accessible in order to put on the washer and nut. Attach the footplate to the truck using bolts (A),
washers (B) and nuts (C).
Repeat Step 1 as you position the remaining Upright leg for this section.
STEP 2. Set the rack to the high (FIG 2) or low (FIG 3) position, whichever is best for the cargo and the
truck, by ipping the Crossbrace. For bowed canoes, the high position is recommended. If you choose to
ip the Crossbrace, you will have to remove and replace the Caps.
DO NOT over tighten any bolts.
STEP 3. Insert the crossbrace into the crossbrace extension (Fig 4) and set the entire assembly on top of
the upright legs. Center the crossbrace left to right and secure it with the allen head set screws (D). Secure
the crossbrace to each upright leg with the included allen head set screws.
To install the rear portion of the cargo truck rack on the truck bed, repeat the above steps. Before drilling
the mounting plate, ensure that the plate does not overhang or interfere with the tail gate.
The cargo truck rack is not ready for use.
WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED 500LB LOAD CAPACITY
