Step 2: INSTALLING FIXED MOUNT
Measure from the foot of the ladder to the bottom rung.
From the back of the rail assembly measure the same dis-
tance and mark the rail. This will be the approximate loca-
tion of the fixed mount. Install the fixed mount with grooves
facing the front of the vehicle. Allow for position adjustment
using fasteners shown in Figure 2.
Step 3: INSTALLING SLIDING MOUNT
Insert the sliding mount into the rail assembly with the
grooved portion facing the rear of the vehicle. Install the
vinyl cap over the cut end of the rail assembly.

NOTE: If installing this sliding ladder rack to the side wall of
a trailer, proceed to Step 10 for the side catch assembly.
Using two 1/4-20 x 7/8" carriage bolts, 1/4" flat washers,
and 1/4- 20 nylon lock nuts, affix front cradle to exten-
sion arm. Attach to sliding mount. With one 1/4-20 x 1-1/2"
carriage bolt, 1/4" flat washer, and 1/4-20 nylon lock nut,
adjust the depth of the cradle to fit the height of your ladder.
Tighten carriage bolt completely (Figure 3).
CAUTION
Do not over tighten fasteners.

WARNING
• Safety cable must be attached per instructions for lad-
der to be properly secured to rack and vehicle.
• Do not over tighten fasteners.
Step 6: ADJUSTING MOUNTING POSITIONS
CAUTION
• Fixed Catch assembly is not completely secured at this
point. When placing ladder into position it could fall.
• Do not allow anyone directly underneath or to the side
of ladder during this installation step, except to help
with mounting.
Place ladder onto the front cradle and slide forward to the
stowed position. Place the bottom rung of the ladder onto
the fixed catch. This will be the final position of the fixed
catch assembly. Gently remove the ladder so as not to
move the fixed catch and finish securing the fixed catch as-
sembly in place.
Step 7: SHOCK CORD INSTALLATION
• Slide the shock cords through the adjustable mount shock
cord holes. Make sure the hog ring is at the back of the unit.
Next slide the cords through the shock cord guide holes,
and then through the fixed mount shock cord holes.
WARNING
• Elastic cords can snap back and strike your eye. Do not
over stretch. Keep your body and face clear.
• Place ladder onto rack and slide forward while holding the
shock cord. When the ladder is in the stowed position, firmly
pull the shock cord and slide it into the holding slot on the
back of the fixed mount (see figure 5).
