For use on all vehicles.
Please read and follow carefully.
-
Assemble your racks as shown in the photos.
-
Ensure bases and vehicle is clean, and then place a rack on flat area of
hood/bonnet on
passenger side
.
-
If necessary gently bend the metal plate so that each base sits evenly in
line with the surface. (see enclosed drawing)
-
Press down on a base and operate the levers.
-
Check the other base is in line with the surface and repeat.
-
Fit the other rack on a flat area of roof or windshield.
-
Attach rods with reels forward and loop elastics over bar ends.
-
Elastic tension can be adjusted using the teeth under the bar.
-
Check security by pulling gently on the bases, not the “T”s.
-
Levers must be in the
UP/OFF
position in storage.
IMPORTANT NOTES
-
Vac Racs are designed for fishing rods only and should be removed after
use.
-
Not for use on ice covered vehicles.
-
Wet vehicles – wipe off excess water.
-
Cars parked under trees, long term, can build up aphid deposits.
-
To avoid rod whipping do not drive at high speed.
-
If a base is sitting correctly there is short lever movement before it “bites”
and then strong resistance.
-
If the lever moves half way or more, before resistance is felt, the base is
not sitting properly. See above.
-
If you accidentally deform the bases, put them on a smooth clean surface
with the levers in
UP/OFF
position. (They will gradually return to their
shape at room temperature).
