ELEVATE FS and CS Rack Systems Instructions
- Install upright assemblies (A) onto t-slot compatible rails. Remove t-slot compatible rail end plug. Slide two T-bolts (G) into each adapter rail. Space the T-bolts (G) so they align with the holes on the base on the upright assembly (A). Place support base insert (J or K) in between the upright assembly and the rail. Use T-bolts (H) if installing on a flush mount rail.
- Reinstall the rail end plugs. Install washers (E) and cap nuts (F) for the
upright assemblies (A). Finger tighten for now.
3) After installation is complete, upright
assemblies (A) in the correct position will lean slightly to the inside of the
truck bed.
However, at this time they should move freely. Position upright assembly in the desired location and hand tighten the washers (E) and cap nuts (F). Space front and rear upright assemblies as far apart as possible to support the load.
- Insert two T-bolts (G) into the bottom t-slot of each end of the crossbar (B). Repeat on the second crossbar.
- Install any t-slot compatible accessories. Then install all 4 crossbar end plugs (C) with set screws (D).
- Start the channel guard at one end of crossbar, once started you should be
able to press the channel guard down the channel to the other end plug.
Install channel guard (I) into the t-slot channel of both crossbars (B). Cut
off any excess channel guard (I).
If no accessories are installed, the channel guard can reduce wind noise.
- Align the T-bolts (G) with the holes in the upright assembly (A) support, carefully set the crossbar (B) down and adjust as needed. Center the crossbar (B) left to right with the two upright assemblies (A). Repeat step with other crossbar (B).
- Once you have centered the crossbars (B) with the assemblies (A), use the washers (E) and cap nuts (F) to secure the crossbars (B) to the upright assemblies (A). Try to make sure the crossbars (B) move as little as possible left to right when securing the hardware. Do not overtighten.
ADJUSTING AND MOVING THE ELEVATE RACK SYSTEM
To reposition the rack on the t-slot rail, loosen the four cap nuts (F) on each upright assembly (A) to assist in moving the rack. Once repositioned, retighten the nuts. To adjust the height of the rack remove the center hardware, adjust as needed, then replace center hardware.
