IMPORTANT NOTES:
For added stability for larger kayaks, dress the straps down under the cross
bars before bringing them back up through the slots in steps 7 and 12.
Safety tie-downs are required for all transport. If your kit did not include
safety tie-downs, we strongly recommend the use of the Malone
MPG316 Sentry Ratchet Tie-Down System.
Always check mounting hardware, load straps and safety tie-down lines for proper
and secure attachment before transport. Use of this product for any other
application other than kayak transport voids warranty.
