IMPORTANT WARNING! It is critical that all Yakima racks and accessories be properly and securely attached to your vehicle. Improper attachment could result in an automobile accident, and could cause serious bodily injury or death to you or to others. You are responsible for securing the racks and accessories to your car, checking the attachments prior to use, and periodically inspecting the products for adjustment, wear, and damage. Therefore, you must read and understand all of the instructions and cautions supplied with your Yakima product prior to installation or use. If you do not understand all of the instructions and cautions, or if you have no mechanical experience and are not thoroughly familiar with the installation procedures, you should have the product installed by a professional installer such as a qualified rack specialty installer or auto body shop.
REMOVE THE ACCESS POINT COVERS.
Using a plastic pry tool, carefully pry up and remove each of the 4 covers
from the rails on your vehicle.
IDENTIFY WHICH TYPE OF RAILS YOU HAVE.
Determine which style of rail you have. If you have the style of rail on the
left, remove the screws using the provided Torx wrench. Be careful not to move
the flush rail from its default position. Then proceed to step 3.
If you have the style of flush rail on the right, proceed to step 3.
INSTALL THE LANDING PADS.
Using the icon embossed on each Landing Pad, identify the correct position for each Landing Pad. Place each Landing Pad into the opening and make sure that each Landing pad is fully seated.
INSTALL THE SCREWS.
Using the Torx wrench, install 2 screws to secure each Landing Pad. Tighten
completely to 3.5 Nm.
TIP: Tilting the Landing Pad slightly can help to align the screw with
the hole.
Continue with your Sky Line or Control Towers installation.
INSTALL THE COVERS ANYTIME YOUR RACK IS NOT INSTALLED.
Using the covers will help keep the bases free of debris.
READ THESE WARNINGS!
- Make sure your Sky Line™ or Control Towers™ with bars installed seat completely with Landing Pad™. If they do not seat properly, repeat step 4.
- Be sure all hardware is secured according to the instructions. Failure to perform safety checks before driving away can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
- Attachment hardware can loosen over time. Check and tighten if necessary, before each use.
- To avoid damage to your vehicle’s finish remove and clean the Landing Pads and mounting points periodically as road sediment will accumulate over time.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS
Rack Installation
Inadequately secured loads and incorrectly mounted roof racks and accessory
racks can come loose during travel and cause serious accidents! Therefore,
installation, handling, and use must be carried out in accordance with product
and vehicle instructions.
In addition to these instructions, review the mounting instructions for the
roof rack and the operating instructions of the vehicle.
These instructions should be kept together with the vehicle’s operating
instructions and carried in the vehicle when in use and en route.
For your own safety, you should only use roof racks that are authorized for
use with your vehicle.
For roof racks that do not specify the distance between the front and rear
crossbars, the distance shall be at least 700 mm or as large as possible.
Please note that changes (e.g., additional drill holes) to the accessory
rack’s attachment system are not permissible.
Check attachment hardware and load for tight fit and function:
- Before the start of any journey
- After driving a short distance following rack or load install
- At regular intervals on longer journeys
- More frequently on rough terrain
- After interruption of a journey during which the vehicle was left unsupervised (check for damage due to outside intervention)
Rack Loading
Do not exceed the maximum load specified for the roof rack, accessory rack or
the maximum load recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Max Roof Load = weight of roof rack + weight of accessory racks + weight of
load.
Load shall be uniformly distributed with the lowest possible center of
gravity.
Load should not substantially extend beyond the loading surface of the roof
rack.
Vehicle Driving and Regulations
The speed driven must be suited to the load transported and to official speed
limits. In the absence of any speed limits, we recommend a maximum speed of 80
mph (130 km/h).
When transporting any load, the speed of the vehicle must take into account
all conditions such as the state of the road, the surface of the road, traffic
conditions, wind, etc. Vehicle handling, cornering, braking and sensitivity
to side ends will change with the addition of rooftop loads.
If this product is off-road certified, it is designed and intended to be used
on forest service roads, access roads or other non-technical terrains at
moderate speeds. It is not to be used while rock-crawling, jumping, bogging,
or other technical off-road terrains. When using off-road certified products
with non-off-road certified products, always follow the warnings and
restrictions as stated in the nonoffroad certified product instructions.
Maintenance
The accessory rack should be carefully cleaned and maintained, particularly
during the winter months. Use only a solution of water and standard car wash
liquid without any alcohol, bleach, or ammonium additives.
For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of other road users, the accessory
rack and roof rack should be removed when not in use. Periodically inspect
accessory rack for damage. Replace lost, damaged, or worn parts. Use only
original spare parts obtained from a stocking specialist, dealer, or
manufacturer.
Any changes made to the roof racks and accessory racks, as well as the use of
spare parts or accessories other than those supplied by the manufacturer, will
lead to the lapsing of the manufacturer’s warranty and liability for any
material damage or accidents. You should observe these instructions to the
letter and only use the original parts supplied.
