Buyers 1501310 Installation Instructions

1501310 Van Ladder Rack
1501311 Van Ladder Rack Single Crossbar
Before assembling your Buyers' ladder rack it is
important to read, understand, and follow all listed
instructions.
1. Crossbar Assemblies (Figs. 1 & 2)
• Using the M12 bolts and lock washer, install each of
the Side Mount Tubes to the Gutter Mount Brackets.
Use the top hole in the Gutter Mount Bracket for the
front and rear crossbars. Use the bottom hole for a
center crossbar (1501311).
NOTE: It is recommended that all weld nuts face rear-
ward to limit weather exposure and to prevent the set
screws from contacting objects carried on rack.
• If desired, slide one Divider Bracket onto each
Crossbar.
• Insert the Crossbars into the Side Mount Tubes.
2. Installing the Crossbar Assemblies
• Determine the location on your van to mount each
Crossbar Assembly.
• Place each Crossbar Assembly in the rain gutters
of the van. Be sure the outside edges of the Gutter
Mount Brackets sit against the widest part of the gut-
ter (against outer flanges).
3. Install the Clamp Brackets (Fig. 1)
NOTE: TWO styles of clamp bracket are included in
the kit in order to better cover multiple brands of van.
It is the responsibility of the installer and/or end user
to make sure the best fitting bracket is used.
