ATTENTION: PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
BEFORE ASSEMBLING, INSTALLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
• WEATHER GUARD ladder racks are designed to work with OEM side gutters or with WEATHER GUARD
®®
Mounting Channel kits to provide the best support for your ladders and to take advantage of OEM provided
roof mounting points. If you have not already installed the mounting channel kit to the van roof, install it now
before proceeding.
• We recommend that you use mounting channels to mount the ladder rack on to the roof due to the mounting
channels being able to distribute the load more evenly. We have provided spacers that can be used to mount
directly to the roof, but please consult the vehicle manufacturer to determine the load capacity allotted for the
roof.
• Review vehicle manufacturer’s roof mount recommendation.
• Perform the installation on a leveled surface.
• Always wear protective eyewear to keep debris out of your eyes when installing WEATHER GUARD Van
®
Products.
• All of the nylon lock nuts are torqued to 17 ft-lb when ready.
MOUNTING LONG LADDERS ON COMPACT VANS
Ladders transported on a vehicle should be properly supported and the overhang of the ladders beyond
supporting points should be limited. Transporting a ladder with excessive overhang can result in reduced
ladder life. Inspect your ladder before each use. Follow ANSI 14.2-2007 for direction on securing ladders to
ladder racks.
Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for maximum allowable roof load. Do not overload the vehicle’s roof.
