INSTALLATION STEPS

1. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE:
   Please verify the upper (edge) of the back hatch measurement before purchasing or installing your ladder, the standard dimension is between 0.1″ (2.5mm) and 0.2″ (5mm) if this dimension is larger than 0.2″ (5mm) don’t install the ladder, Toyota in some models applies more sealant in this area that can cause the ladder to not fit.
   Take the ladder (A) and turn il upside down so the top part points towards the roof of the vehicle (Hig 1) and the bottom points towards the sky. Insert the lip of the top plate in the gap between the roof of the vehicle and the rear door (door should be close). Once the plate is engage carefully spin the ladder down towards the bottom of the rear door as shown on Fig > & 3. Aller this step the ladder should look like Hig 4. Once in place, give the ladder a good pull towards you, this will assure that the upper part of the adder is flush to the curvature on the top of the door
   Note: Before you install your new Baja Rack ladder check the gap on top of the hatch, if the upper top of the ladder does not enter the gap on the hatch do not install, and check the gap clearance with a dealer or shop .
   NOTE: please check that the bottom plate of the ladder sits flush with the bottom bracket. As shown in the pictures, this will keep the ladder from moving while climbing.

2. To position the ladder in the right place use a lape measure, the distance between the bottorn edge of the rear door (driver side) and the bottom ladder bracket should be 3″ to 3 ½” ( Hig 5), the distance for the top of the ladder is 2″, this measure is between the top edge of the rear door (driver side) and the top ladder plato (Hig.6).
   NOTE: you need to play with this distance, this will determine that the upper part of the ladder stays in place and flush to the curvature of the top door.

3. Remove the plastic cover (Fig. 7) of the aluminum plate (C) and place it on the bracket as shown in Fig. 8. Open the rear door slightly so you can place bracket (13) under the door (Fig 9), check that face of the aluminium plate without plastic cover is touching the rear door (Fig.10)
   Note: The bracket B comes pre-assem- bled with 2 cup point screws (H) and the aluminum plate (C), please loosen screws (H) before placing bracket (B) in position.

4. Add a small amount of the supplied grease (I) on bolts (D & E). Insert the bolt (E) with one washer (F) in one slot of the bottom of the ladder and bracket (B) Fig 11, once the bolt is thru the slot of the bottom ladder plate and bracket (B) take another washer (F) and one Nylon locknut (G) and hand tighten (you will need to apply pressure to the ladder downwards to be able to do this initial step, a friend could stand on a ladder to help you), tighten with a 9/16″ wrench and ratchet Fig 12.

5. Repeal slep 1 to the other slot but now, vou’ll need use the bolt (L). After to insert the bolt (D), you’ll nced remove the bolt (L) and then, insert the other bolt (D) with washer (L) (use the washers and nylon locknut provided in step 4 for bolt (F) in this point) and below insert the washer (D and nylon lock nut (G), see Fig 13 as reference. Once both bolls and nuts are in place lighten with a 9/16″ wrench and ratchet rig 14.

6. Finally lighten both cup point screws (H) with a 5/32″ allen wrench. As a fnal inspection point make sure the bottom of the ladder and the bottom bracket (13) look like Hig 15 & 16.
