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.

Set rack on the service body, with the "bulkhead angle iron mounting bracket"
centered between the boxes and pushed forward against the bulkhead. Bring the
rack approximately level, and support the rear with clamps, blocks, or forklift. Bolt
the bulkhead mounting bracket to bulkhead using bolts V, flat washers U and lock
nuts R. Push the rack forward in the mounting bracket slots so that the rear leg
mount plates are firmly against the rear of the service body boxes and position the
mounts so that the rack is level and centered. Before drilling holes in the service
body, check to ensure that the CROSS BAR is about 3" higher that the truck cab.
Drill holes with a 3/8" drill bit through the back of the boxes and attach the rear
mounting plates with button head bolts V, flat washers U and lock nuts R.
Bolt the legs (loosely) to mounting plates with bolts P , lock washers O and flat
washers H.

OPTION
When it is not possible to attach the included rear leg mounts to the back
panel of your service body, an alternative is to mount the rear legs on top
of the box. This works for Stahl bodies and all other service bodies with
side opening boxes. In order to do this, you must purchase our accessory mount kit #70050 that includes shorter rear legs and a small mount
plate that enable you to bolt the legs to the top of the box.
WITH THIS MOUNT, THERE IS NO HIEGHT ADJUSTMENT.

panels. In order to do this, you must purchase our accessory mount kit
#70050 that include shorter legs and horizontal angle iron mount brackets
(1 1/2” total height) that will fit below the box lid and above the obstruction.
WITH THIS MOUNT, THERE IS NO HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.

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.
