10. Center the Crossbars by measuring from the end of each
Corner Bracket, to the Crossbar ends, left and right.
11. Tighten the T-Bolts on the underside of the Crossbar to
240 in/lbs. (20 ft/lbs.) to secure the Corner Brackets to
the Crossbar.

Capacity – The TracVan System is rated for a capacity of
500 lbs., evenly distributed over all racks, assuming normal
driving conditions and loading.
Do not exceed the racks’ rated capacity, as you could dam-
age the van’s rain gutter.
Secure loads carefully and exercise caution at all times.
• We recommend using transverse ratchet straps to securely
tie down cargo.
• Run additional ratchet straps around the front & rear of
loads, attaching them to the Crossbars to prevent any load
shifting during acceleration and stopping.
