Malone Universal Rack Guidelines

. Never assume a cross bar will fit. Always refer to Malone’s Fit Guide for proper, correct and approved vehicle fit.
. Confirm that all bolts and locks are firmly secured prior to transport. Periodically check the load during transport.
. Do not continue to use the product if excessive corrosion, deformity or any mechanical defect is detected.
. Check local and state laws governing projection of objects beyond the perimeter of the vehicle.
. Locks must be turned periodically and lubricated to ensure smooth operation. Use of a dry lubricant is recommended.
. Malone locks are designed to deter vandalism and theft but should not be considered theft proof.
. Obey all posed speed limits and traffic cautions. Adapt your driving for the load being transported.
. Do not use Malone cross bars for purposes other than what they were designed for.
. Not for use on trailers or any other modes of transport other than vehicle rooftop transport.
. Failure to follow these guidelines will void the warranty.

This warranty does not cover, and no warranty is given for defects or problems caused by normal wear and tear which
includes but is not limited to surface (aesthetic) metal corrosion, scratches, dents, deformities, accidents, unlawful
vehicle operation, or any modication of a product not performed or authorized in writing by Malone.

In addition, this warranty does not cover problems resulting from conditions beyond Malone’s control including, but not
limited to, theft, misuse, overloading, or failure to assemble, mount or use the product in accordance with Malone’s
written instructions or guidelines included with the product available to the original retail purchaser.
