WARNING

This product is only intended for, and only safe for, transporting ladders, lumber,
pipe and other similar materials. It is the responsibility of the user to secure these
materials to the rack before transporting. Any modifications made to this product,
or use of this product for any other purpose than its intended use, could create a
hazardous condition that can cause serious personal injury or property damage.

Ladders must be secured per ANSI standard A142.2-1990 paragraph 8.4.4. Ladder
damage will occur from road shock and vehicle vibration if the ladder is not properly
secured to the ladder rack. Bouncing and side to side motion of a improperly
secured ladder will cause wear and weaken the ladder. Using a damaged ladder
could lead to a structural collapse and could result in a serious injury or death.

- NOTICE -

Any modification or unintended use of this product shall immediately void all
manufacturers warranties. Manufacturer disclaims all liability for injuries to persons
or property resulting from any modification to, or unintended use of this product.

Some vehicle manufacturers require a reinforcing kit, available through the vehicle
dealership, to be installed on the truck bed prior to mounting any kind of rack or tool
box. Contact your dealership to see if your vehicle requires a reinforcing kit before
installation.

CAUTION

Never load your rack to exceed the safe capacity of your vehicle. Heavy loads when
carried high can dangerously alter the center of gravity of your vehicle. Consult your
vehicle owners manual for specifications on load ratings and recommendations
from the vehicle manufacturer regarding installation of aftermarket racks and tool
boxes.
