.  Place the kayak onto the Blocks so that it

   is aligned and the weight of the kayak is

   evenly distributed on each Block.

   See image 2.

Step 1:  Attaching Blocks to Kayak

.  Unroll the 9’ Block Straps. Thread each one

   through the cut-out in the bottom of each

   Block.  For installation without cross bars,

   the Blocks should be placed so that they are

   spaced apart 1/3 of the total length of the

   kayak. For installation with cross bars, the

   Blocks should be spaced apart the same

   distance as the distance between the front

   and rear cross bars.  See image 1.

.  Tighten the two Block Straps so that kayak

   and Blocks are firmly cinched together.

   See image 3.

weight of the kayak is evenly distributed on each Block. See

3. Place the strap loops over the kayak so that each loop is 

positioned directly over a foam block. Pull the free end of each 

strap down until the buckles are positioned half way up the side 

of the kayak. Thread the free strap ends around the cross rail 

and back through the buckles. Pulling down to tighten.
