3. Assembly
All the Ski&Snowboard racks need minor assembly prior to use. The Ski&Snowboard racks that
come with 4 TreeFrog vacuum mounts are not attached to the ski carrier. First unscrew the 2 bolts at
the vacuum mount housing sides with the 5 mm hex key. Then place the ski carrier hinge over the
mounting holes, and push it all the way down. After you attached the 2 TreeFrog vacuum mounts to
the ski carrier hinges. 1-1 at each side, with both vacuum pumps
аге pointing outward, use the 5 mm
hex key, to screw both bolts back to the housing.
Check both ski carriers when you placed all the 4 TreeFrog vacuum mounts at the first time, and
make sure the ski carriers not move when pressure is applied.
NOTE - The ski carri
еr has 2 hinges. After you secured the 2 The TreeFrog vacuum mounts to
the hinges, the TreeFrog vacuum mounts
аге allow to move to accommodate the curve of your roof.

5. Mounting TreeFrog Ski&Snowboard Rack
• AII the Ski&Snowboard racks MUST
to ride front to back on the vehicle, not side to side
.
• Always try to position the rack closer to the front edge of the roof, where the roof has more
internal support.
• TreeFrog Ski&Snowboard racks hinges are designed to follow the curves of аnу саг`s roof.
• Clean the surface where the rack's vacuum cup will bе mounted with а soft rag, until the surface
is completely dry.
NEVER use water
оn the Treefrog Ski&Snowboard racks' vacuum cups!
• Then, remove the green protеctivе covers, and press the vacuum down to make sure the edge
of the cup is connected and start pumping the air out until the white safety indicator band is n
о longer
visible. Continue this process until all vacuum cups are secure, and test security b
у pushing and
pulling
оn carriers.
• If the plunger will not stay seated and the pump's white safety indicator band becomes visible
immediately after pumping, inspect the rubber vacuum pad for damage or clean the mounting surface
and vacuum cup again. lf the problem isn't solved after these basic steps, please do basic
maintenance on the pump using the silicone lube that was supplied with the rack. Do not use your rack
without solving the problem!
• Next mount skis into the carrier tips facing to the rear, and mount snowboards with bindings in
the closed position.
• AII TreeFrog products can bе used in low temperatures, and at high altitudes.
