ROAD GEAR RACK MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONSThe
rack has been
designed and tested in conjunction with a Road Gear Truck Equipment, LLC
mounting kit. Danger!
Misuse or misapplication of this product can cause serious injury or
death. Road Gear Truck Equipment,
LLC cannot be held liable for any product failure when not installed as directed
and/or installed without a Road Gear Truck Equipment, LLC mounting kit. Caution!
Risk
to the product. If you ignore this information, the rack system or the
trailer could be damaged. Step 1: Installing the Road Gear Rack1. Position the rack on
the frame of the semi tractor using a suitable device like a forklift or
overhead hoist. Position the rack so that the I-beam trusses in the rear are
approximately 1” to 2” from the rear of the tractor cab. Place a rubber wear
strip between the rack and each tractor frame rail. See Figure 1. Caution:
If there are projections from the rear of your cab, make sure the sway of your
cab does not interfere with the rack. This sway is typically 8”
side-to-side for an air ride cab. Warning:
Be sure to put a temporary space between the rack and the tractor frame when
placing the rubber wear strips or severe injuries to hands and/or fingers will
result. 2. Clamp the rack to the
tractor frame using the Road Gear Mounting Kit. It
is important that the u-bolt be at a 90-degree angle with the tractor frame.
Place first u-bolt 1 ½” behind knee/foot joint. Place second u-bolt 17”
ahead of previous bolt. (For
73”x78” & 75”x86” rack, this dimension is 21”) See
figure 1. 3. Tighten the 5/8” nuts
on all (4) u-bolts finger-tight. Be sure that the u-bolts are all at 90 degrees
to the tractor frame. Tighten the nuts securely and torque them to 60
foot-pounds using a torque wrench.
