Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: When using product, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Read all instructions before using this product!

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. Observe work area conditions. Keep work area well lighted.

3. Store idle equipment. When not in use, the Carrier must be stored in a safe and clean location.

Always lock up products and keep out of reach of children.

4. Use the right product for the job. There are certain applications for which the Cargo Carrier

was designed. Do not modify the Cargo Carrier and do not use the Cargo Carrier for a purpose
for which it was not intended.

5. Check for damaged parts. Before using any product, any part that appears damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for any broken or damaged parts and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.

6. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

Use of any other parts will void the warranty.

7. Do not operate product if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on

prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is
any doubt, do not operate the product.

8. Do not exceed the product’s maximum load capacity of 500 lb.

9. Only use the Cargo Carrier with a properly installed 2 inch hitch receiver capable of

supporting the Cargo Carrier and its load. If the Cargo Carrier is installed on a class II
receiver, total weight, including carrier, is limited to 350 lb.

10. Use eye protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles when setting up, loading
and unloading the Cargo Carrier. Wear gloves and avoid sharp edges when assembling and

when loading and unloading the Cargo Carrier.

11. Do not allow children to play on, stand upon or climb into the Cargo Carrier. The Cargo
Carrier is not for carrying people or animals.

12. Always check hardware and assembled parts after assembling. All connections should be
tight and hardware tightened.

13. Always distribute objects in the Cargo Carrier evenly. Uneven weight distribution could cause
tipping. Harbor Freight Tools is not responsible for damage to persons or cargo. Do not lean or
climb on the side panels.

14. Be aware of dynamic loading! Suddenly dropping or bouncing a load on the Cargo Carrier
may create, for a brief instant, an excess load, which may result in damage to the product and/or
personal injury. Additionally, if the vehicle hits a bump, a slight play in the receiving hitch or a
movement in the load could result in a momentary dynamic loading effect that could dramatically
increase the actual weight load. Check the hitch-to-Carrier connection for any looseness. This
momentary dynamic loading effect could result in damage to the Cargo Carrier, the load and
possible personal injury.

15. WARNING! Be aware of the possible risk of fire and damage to property resulting from the vehicle’s
exhaust system pointing at or running near the cargo put in this Cargo Carrier. Before installing
the Cargo Carrier, check to make sure that the exhaust pipe is not pointing in the direction of the
cargo. Flammable cargo can ignite from exposure to heat. Other cargo can be damaged from
the heat. Always be aware of this potential danger, and never use the Cargo Carrier if the risk
exists.

Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which
cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
