•Be aware of dynamic loading! Suddenly dropping or bouncing a load on the Cargo Carrier
may create, for a brief instant, an excess load, which may result in damage to the product
and/or personal injury. Additionally, if the vehicle hits a bump, a slight play in the receiving hitch
or a movement in the load could result in a momentary dynamic loading effect that could
dramatically increase the actual weight load. Check the hitch-to-carrier connection for any
looseness. This momentary dynamic loading effect could result in damage to the Cargo Carrier,
the load and possible personal injury.
•WARNING: Be aware of the possible risk of fire and damage to property resulting from
the vehicle’s exhaust system pointing at or running near the cargo loaded on the Cargo Carrier.
Before installing the Cargo Carrier, check to make sure that the exhaust pipe is not pointing in
the direction of the cargo. Flammable cargo can ignite from exposure to heat. Other cargo can
be damaged from the heat. Always be aware of this potential danger, and never use the Cargo
Carrier if the risk exists.
•Follow DOT guidelines for installation and use.
•Do not exceed 65 MPH while carrier is attached.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be
built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
