CAUTION!
• Too much weight will greatly reduce the stability of your
vehicle. Weight carried on an overhead rack will
significantly increase the vehicle's tendency to
overturn. Kargo Master makes no representation or
warranty as to the amount of weight that can be carried
safely by or without damaging the body of your vehicle.
For guidance, we recommend that you consult the
vehicle manufacturer.
• Do not use your rack with the REAR CROSS BAR
removed. The structural integrity will be affected.
• Secure all payloads properly for safe transportation.

GOOP APPLICATION
Apply a healthy air tight bead of goop
around every swaged joint as shown, to
prevent moisture from leaking into and out
of the joint. If this is not done properly, the
inside surface of the tubes can rust and
rusty water can leak out. Maintain this
joint seal throughout the life of your rack.
STEP 1
#1 = Cover entire swedge joints with GOOP and
join FRONT and REAR side channels together.
Be sure the connecting plates overlap and bolt
together with bolts Q, washers L and lock nuts M.

#1 = Remove your camper shell from truck. Note wheather or not there is
a ridge on the bottom of your shell.

Truck Bed
#2 = Position the rack on the truck as far forward as possible, with Mounting Plate tongue over the front bulkhead of the
truck bed. Center the rack left to right on truck bed. Slide the front Mount Plates apart so that they are flush against
opposite sides of the truck bed. Measure the inside dimension of the Mount Plates just above the Support Bar, and the
outside diminsion of the ridges (if any) on the bottom of your shell. It may be necessary to notch this ridge to avoid
interference with the Mount Plates. Or, you may want to notch the ridge front and back so that the Mount Plates can be slid
in towards the center of the truck to minimize overhang.
#3 = With the Mount Plates in their final position, locate and mark two optimal bolt hole locations on the top of each Mount
Plate. The bolts should be located as far apart as possible, with clear access to the bolt and nut underneath the truck's bed
rail. If the inside of your truckbed has a double wall and it is not possible to locate a bolt on the Mounting Plate near the leg,
we recommend using our accessory STAKE POCKET "T" BOLTS to provide an additional attachment point. With the
Front Mount Plates in thier final location, mark the through bolt hole in the inner Support Arm.
#4 = Remove Rack from the truck, and unbolt the Mounting Plates. Punch hole centers in the locations that you have
marked and drill 3/8" holes in the Mount Plates and the inner Support Arm.
#5 = Bolt the Support Arms together using bolt W , Flat washer U, and lock nut R.
#6 = Set the Mount Plates back on the truck, in exactly the same
location that they were before. Make certain that the Mount Plate is
square with the bed rail and dead horizontal. We recommend that you
clamp each foot plate in position before drilling through the truck's bed
rail. CHECK TWICE - DRILL ONCE!
#7 = Apply adhesive foam tape (NOT INCLUDED) to seal the
gaps between the footplates and camper shell along the bed
rail and bulk head. Attach the camper shell to the truck. Place
the rack on the Mount Plates and center. Adjust each rear leg
slightly side to side to ensure that the lock pins in the
removable rear bar slide in and out easily.

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.
