Maintenance
For polished, gloss and other smooth
finishes, polish may be used to clear
small scratches and scuffs on the finish.
Mild automotive detergent may be used to
clean the product. Do not use dish detergent,
abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire
brushes or other similar products that
may damage the finish.
DANGER
Danger of explosion. Do not use this product for storing or transporting flammables,
explosives, hazardous materials or hazardous waste, such as containers of gasoline,
solvents, gun powder, dynamite, propane tanks, acetylene tanks and cutting torches.
WARNING
Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended capacity.
Ladders and other cargo must be properly secured at all times. Damage will occur from road
shock and vehicle vibration if the ladder and / or materials are not secure. Bouncing and side-
to-side motion of an improperly secured ladder can cause wear and weaken the racks. Using
damaged racks could lead to a structural collapse and could result in serious injury or death.
