Use of load stops
Load stops can be positioned anywhere along cross bar. Use flat sides towards each for securing rectangular loads and angled sides towards each
other to secure semi-circular loads. Place your cargo on the load bars. Place a load stop on either side of the cargo. Slide load stops in toward cargo
until they contact the cargo. Attach tie downs to load stops and tighten.
Always use tie downs to secure the load to the load stops. Load stops
alone are not enough to secure your load.
Optional permanent mounting
Your TransRACK can be permanently mounted to your truck if you desire. You will need (8) 3/8-16 bolts, (16) 3/8” washers and (8) 3/8 -16 lock
nuts. Start by placing a piece of tape on top of the mounting foot. Mark the tape as shown below. Place the mounting foot on the truck and check
that there will be no interference where the bolts will be placed. Remove the foot from the truck and drill the (2) 3/8” holes in the marked
locations on the foot. Mark the truck bed rails using the drilled foot as a template. Then drill the (2) 3/8” holes truck bed rail.
Place a 3/8” washer on a 3/8-16 bolt and insert it though the foot and truck bed. Install a 3/8” washer and 3/8-16 nut on the bolt underneath the
bed rail and tighten. Repeat where needed.
Recommendations
Inspect entire rack often. Discontinue used if any signs of damage are seen such as bends, creases, cracks or breaks.
Check all connections for tightness.
If a brighter appearance is desired, occasional use of an Aluminum polish is suggested.
For better clearance or better security the 3/8-16 eyebolts for the mounting clamps can be replaced by 3/8-16 x 3.50 long hex bolts or
socket head cap screws. The blue knobs can be replaced with 3/8-16 hex nuts.
If the rack will not be moved or removed frequently, it may be helpful to use a thread locker on connecting hardware.
