To Move The Crossbars
1. Loosen the knobs on top of each crossbar approxi-
mately six turns to disengage the clamp tooth from
the side rail. (fig. 111)
2.
Relocate the crossbars, aligning the crossbar stan-
chions (end pieces) with one of the vertical marks on
the outboard surface of the side rail for proper
positioning. There are four frontward marks for the
front crossbar and four rearward marks for the rear
crossbar. Make sure the crossbars remain equally
spaced or parallel at any position for proper function.
3. Tighten the knobs on each crossbar to lock it in
position. As you tighten the knob, make sure the
clamp tooth engages completely into the side rail
slot.
4. Attempt to move the crossbar to ensure that it is
locked in position.
NOTE:
To help control wind noise when installing the cross-
bars, make sure the arrows marked on the underside
of the crossbars face the front of the vehicle .
To help reduce the amount of wind noise when the
crossbars are not in use, fasten the front crossbar in
the fourth position from the front and the rear
crossbar in the eighth position. The tie down holes
on the crossbar ends should always be used to tie
down the load. Check the straps frequently to be
sure that the load remains securely attached.
