LOADING KAYAK
1. Run the webbing strap around the top of the carrier.
2. Load the kayak with the opening outward. Insure that all of the contact points on

WARNINGS
1. The load bars must be at a minimum of 24" apart and the kayak must be center on
the carriers. Do not exceed the factory recommended load on the crossbars.

4. This rack is designed for Sea Kayaks and White Water Kayaks. It is not designed for
aluminum boats.
