IMPORTANT NOTES:

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.

For added stability for larger kayaks, dress the straps down under the cross

bars before bringing them back up through the slots in steps 17 and 25.

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.

Warning: All vehicular rooftop transports are potentially hazardous.
Any person using MALONE automotive transport systems is personally
responsible for following the given directions for use and installation
and accepts full and complete responsibility for any and all damages

or injury of any kind including death, which may result from their use.
