CAUTION!
Failure to follow the following items could cause damage to the vehicle:
• Assure that all cargo inside the storage bins is properly secured.
• Do not exceed cargo weight rating of 150 lb (68 kg) per bin.
• Leaving the lid open for extended periods of time could cause the vehicle battery
to discharge. If the lid is required to stay open for extended periods of time, it is
recommended that the bin lights be turned off manually using the on/off switch.
• Ensure cargo bin lids are closed and latched before moving or driving vehicle.
• Loads applied to the top of the bin lid should be minimized to prevent damage
to the lid and latching/hinging mechanisms.
• Damage to the RamBox bin may occur due to heavy/sharp objects placed in bin
that shift due to vehicle motion. In order to minimize potential for damage,
secure all cargo to prevent movement and protect inside surfaces of bin from
heavy/sharp objects with appropriate padding.
• The maximum load per cleat should not exceed 250 lbs (113 kg) and the angle
of the load on each cleat should not exceed 60 degrees above horizontal, or
damage to the cleat or cleat rail may occur.
• Do not use a storage bin latch as a tie down.
• To reduce the risk of potential injury or property damage:
• Cargo must be secured.
• Do not exceed cargo load rating of your vehicle.
• Secure all loads to truck utilizing cargo tie-downs.
• Extender should not be used as cargo tie-down.
• When vehicle is in motion do not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg) load on the
tailgate.
• The bed extender is not intended for off road use.
• When not in use, the extender/divider should be in stowed or divider po-
sition with the tailgate closed.
