#1=
Position FRONT FOOTPLATES on the truck bedrail, as far
forward as possible. Determine which pre-drilled hole (if any) falls over
the stake pocket. If none of the pre-drilled holes fall over the stake
pocket, mark and drill a hole in the foot plate that is approximately over
the center of the stake pocket. Put bolt A through FOOTPLATE and start T Nut B
as shown. Maneuver T Nut B inside the stake pocket, push the FOOTPLATE forward
against the bulkhead, and tighten the T nut up against the underside of the
truck bed rail. Secure the rear of the front FOOTPLATE to the bedrail using
Bolt V and Bed Rail Clamp C as shown.
Note: If you prefer to mount the FOOTPLATES by drilling through the truck
bedrail, locate the FOOTPLATES as per above, and attach using included
fasteners D, U, and R. We recommend using the pre-drilled hole at the rear
of the FOOTPLATES. You will have to locate and drill a second hole in the
FOOTPLATE, get as close to the leg as possible. Be sure you can access the nut.

Lift the rack up onto the truck bedrail. Loosely attach the front legs to
the secured FRONT FOOTPLATES as shown in STEP 7. Position the REAR
FOOTPLATES against the bedrail. Attach the REAR FOOTPLATES to the
truck bedrail using bedrail clamps as shown in the illustration.
Note: If you prefer to mount the FOOTPLATES by drilling 3/8" holes through
the truck bedrail, locate the FOOTPLATES as per above, and attach using
included fasteners V, U, and R. We recommend using the pre-drilled hole at
the rear of the FOOTPLATES. You will have to locate and drill a second 3/8"
hole in the FOOTPLATE, as close to the leg as possible.

#1= Tighten down ALL NUTS AND BOLTS, except LEG FOOTPLATES and CENTER CROSS BAR .
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN ON DOUBLE WALL BED CONSTRUCTION, AS THIS MAY DEFORM THE
SHEET METAL OF THE PICKUP BED!

#2= Center RACK over bed and tighten FRONT
MOUNT BOLTS. On REAR MOUNT BOLTS be sure
LOCK PINS slide IN & OUT smoothly and freely
before tightening the rear BOLTS.
#3= Snug bolts in CENTER CROSS BAR .

#4= Modern truck beds are made from thin steel with
limited load bearing capacity. Approximately 75% of
the rack load is carried by the front legs. Because the
rack is wider at the bottom than the top, overhead
loads tend to push the bed walls down and apart.
If you expect to carry heavy loads,
we strongly suggest that you purchase
and install OPTIONAL BED SUPPORTS
as shown below.
WEIGHT CARRIED ABOVE THE FLOOR OF THE TRUCK BED (E.G. ON AN
OVERHEAD TRUCK RACK) WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE
VEHICLE'S TENDENCY TO OVERTURN. ALWAYS KEEP HEAVY LOADS
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT THE KARGO MASTER RACK LOAD BEARING CAPACITY OF
1700 LBS. MAY BE GREATER THAN YOUR TRUCK'S GAWR OR GVWR
CAPACITY, AND IS PROBABLY GREATER THAN THE WEIGHT THAT CAN
BE SAFELY CARRIED OVERHEAD. RETIGHTEN ALL BOLTS AFTER FIRST
USE, PERIODICALLY CHECK BOLTS FOR TIGHTNESS.
