MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
The mounting brackets are designed to fit snugly
over the top rails with locking levers in the open
position. With the locking levers in the lowered
(locked) position, you should not be able to slide
the mounting bracket assembly along the top
rails or remove the bracket assembly from the
top rails. If the mounting brackets will not fit over
top rails, or if the brackets can be removed from
the top rails when the levers are locked, remove
bracket assembly immediately and adjust bracket
adjustment screw. Failure to heed this warning may
result in serious personal injury.
MOUNTING BRACKET ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 23, page 18.
If the tool and bracket assembly can slide over the top rails or
be removed from the top rails when the levers are locked, the
bracket adjustment screws need to be tightened. If the tool
and bracket assembly will not fit over top rails, the bracket
adjustment screw needs to be loosened.
NOTE: The tool should be removed from the mounting
brackets before attempting to tighten or loosen the bracket
adjustment screws.
To adjust:

Make sure the mounting bracket lock levers are in the
unlocked position.
 Lift brackets away from the top rails.

Use a wrench to slightly loosen the nut.
 Turn the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Rotate
clockwise if the bracket assembly needs to be tightened
or counterclockwise if the assembly needs to be
loosened.

Install the bracket on the front top rail then lower bracket
to allow the rear clamp of the bracket to seat fully over
the rear top rail.
NOTE:
The mounting bracket should fit snugly over the
top rails when in the unlocked position.

Lock the brackets in position by lowering the locking
levers.
NOTE:
If the locking lever on the mounting bracket cannot
easily be pushed down into the closed position, the
adjustment screw is too tight. Do not force locking lever
into the closed position. Loosen the adjustment screw.

When the correct position is achieved, wrench-tighten
the nut to secure.

Repeat with the second mounting bracket.
