All Flatline Van Co products must be properly assembled and secured before attaching to your vehicle. Improper attachment could result in an automobile accident, and could cause serious bodily injury or death to you or to others involved. You are responsible for assembling and securing flatline van co products to your vehicle, checking the mounting points and attachments prior to use, and regularly inspecting the products for wear and or damage. We always recommend you use a professional to install any aftermarket accessories to your vehicle. If you have no mechanical experience and are not thoroughly familiar with the installation procedures, you must have the product installed by a professional installer or other qualified persons. The responsibility is yours and must be taken seriously for everyone’s safety.

PACKAGE CONTENTS
LET’S GET STARTED!
-
PLACE THE LADDER HALVES FRONT SIDE DOWN, INSERT THE COUPLERS INTO ONE HALF (SEE FIGURE 1), AND TIGHTEN DOWN USING THE 1/4-20 SCREWS.
-
SLIDE THE OTHER LADDER HALF ONTO THE COUPLERS AND TIGHTEN DOWN.
NOTE- IF DESIRED YOU CAN USE BLUE LOCTITE ON THE SCREWS.|
---|--- -
NEXT, SLIDE THE TWO (2) RAIL NUTS INTO THE ROOF RAIL ON YOUR VAN.
NOTE- IF YOU’VE ALREADY INSTALLED A ROOF RACK, THIS MAY BE TIME CONSUMING. -
NOW POSITION THE LADDER ON THE VAN, HANGING IT ON THE ROOF RAIL.
LOOSELY SCREW THE TOP OF THE LADDER DOWN TO THE ROOF RAIL USING THE 3/8-16 X .75” SCREWS AND THE 3/8 BELLEVILLE LOCK WASHERS JUST ENOUGH THAT IT IS SNUG (SEE FIGURE 3)
NOTE- WE LIKE TO PLACE THE LADDER AS CLOSE TO THE REAR WHEEL WELL AS WE CAN. SEE IMAGE BELOW.

5. TAKE THE MOUNT PLATE AND THE SUPPORT BRACKET (SEE RIGHT) AND LOOSELY ATTACH THEM TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER USING THE 3/8-16 X 1” SCREWS, 3/8 FLAT WASHERS, AND 3/8-16 NYLOCK NUTS. SEE REF PHOTO 1 & 2
NOTE- MAKE SURE THAT THE LADDER IS STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN.
6. LOCATE THE SUPPORT BRACKET ON THE CHASSIS BEAM SHOWN IN REF PHOTO 2 & 3
AND USE IT TO MARK THE THRU HOLE TO BE DRILLED. ONCE MARKED, SWING THE
BRACKET OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN ACCESS WITH POWER DRILL. AFTER DRILLING,
SWING THE BRACKET BACK IN PLACE AND LOOSELY ATTACH USING THE REMAINING 3/8-16
X 1” SCREW, 3/8 FLAT WASHERS, AND 3/8-16 NYLOCK NUT.
NOTE- LEAVE THIS SUPPORT BRACKET LOOSE AS YOU FIT EVERY THING IN PLACE,
OR YOU’LL LIKELY NEED TO LOOSEN IT AGAIN.|
