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.
