IMPORTANT – READ BEFORE
MOUNTING CARRIER TO VEHICLE
B e f o re installing the carrier, carefully read the guidelines for use of the car-
r i e r. Proper installation of the carrier is the customer’s re s p o n s i b i l i t y. The
m a n u f a c t u re r ’s warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of a defec-
tive carrier. Damage to the vehicle, the carrier’s contents, or to any person
or property is excluded.
The carrier can only be mounted to roof racks with a capacity of 150
pounds or more. See application chart on store display for appro v e d
f a c t o ry installed roof racks. No more than 100 pounds of evenly dis-
tributed weight should ever be transported in the carr i e r.
1. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual or the vehicle dealership for the
weight capacity of factory installed roof racks.
2. If using an aftermarket roof rack consult the manufacturer of the ro o f
rack for weight capacity.
Do not travel with an empty carrier at speeds over 40 MPH. Keep a mini-
mum of 50 pounds in the carrier at high speeds to avoid undesirable wind
e ffects. It is recommended to remove carrier from vehicle when not in use.
All carrier hard w a re should be firmly attached. When traveling periodical-
ly check all hard w a re to assure it is fastened secure l y. The carrier is water
resistant, not waterproof. Always protect contents accord i n g l y.
DO NOT place valuable or fragile items in the carrier. Sudden stops may
cause contents to shift, possibly damaging items. The carrier is not
designed to be accident or theft proof. The manufacturer and retailer can-
not be held responsible for damage or theft of carrier’s contents.
LIMITED WA R R A N T Y
The carrier warranty is limited to (1) year from the date of purchase
which include defects in material and workmanship. Manufacturer’s
warranty obligation is at manufacture r ’s sole discretion upon
inspection of the carrier.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place carrier on vehicle’s roof rack. Adjust roof rack crossrails
so they are positioned between the desired predrilled holes on
the carrier bottom.
2. Remove carrier from vehicle’s roof rack crossrails. Assemble
the saddle assembly on carrier bottom as shown in Figure 1,
using the desired pre-drilled holes. Turn the threaded knobs
clockwise just enough to engage the threaded ends of the car-
riage bolts. Leave the assembly loose.
3. When you are ready to mount the carrier to the vehicle’s roof
rack crossrails, slide each saddle until it separates from the
carriage bolt and drops down as shown in Figure 2.
4. Position saddles under the crossrails and push the saddle back
over the carriage bolt and slide it forward until it stops. Turn
knobs clockwise and tighten equally and securely as shown in
Figure 3.
5. To remove carrier from roof rack, loosen knobs, slide saddles
until they separate from carriage bolts. Slide carrier forward
and lift off of vehicle. Leave all the parts attached to your car-
rier to simplify your next installation.
6. Place Vinyl Mask Hole covers over remaining holes in carrier
bottom to prevent water or dirt entering the carrier.
