Step 1
WARNING
Before drilling into your truck bed, check under
your vehicle to ensure the drill location does not
puncture, cut or obstruct any brake or fuel fluid
lines, electrical wires, fuel tanks, etc. Precaution
must be taken that all fasteners near the fuel
tank do not create the possibility of fuel tank
puncture or other damage during a collision.
Drill two 5/16" holes in the side rail lip.
Bolt the U-bolt around the rack and
through the side rail lip (figure 1).
Loosely attach the U-bolt to
the mounting bracket (figure 2).
Ensure the ladder rack upright is vertical.
Position the angled bracket on the floor of the
truck bed and mark holes for mounting (figure 3).
Firmly attach the mounting bracket to the floor
of the truck bed. Tighten all hardware. Repeat
for the other upright (figure 4).
Step 2
CAUTION
Ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and
locks are firmly secured before every trip.
Periodically re-tighten and inspect all components
for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue.
WARNING
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.
With the ladder racks installed, periodic
inspections should be performed to ensure
all mounting hardware remains tight.
To protect your investment, see the
'Maintenance' section on page 1.
Congratulations on the installation
of your new UWS ladder racks.
