Using your CURT kayak roof rack is a piece of cake. First, find the right position for the mounting brackets on your vehicle's roof rack rails. Since it's a universal design, it should fit most cross bars. Use the quick - release handles to attach the brackets without any tools. Then, adjust the rotating arms of the kayak holders according to the size of your kayak or paddleboard. You can make them wider or narrower and lock them in place using the notched pivots. Once your watercraft is in the holders, use the adjustable straps to secure it tightly. Here are some things to keep in mind. Make sure the weight of your kayak or paddleboard doesn't exceed the 75 - pound capacity of the rack. When driving, especially on bumpy roads, double - check that the watercraft is still secure. For maintenance, clean the rack regularly, especially after it's been exposed to water. The carbon black powder - coated aluminum is corrosion - resistant, but it's still a good idea to dry it thoroughly to prevent any potential damage. When you're not using the rack, fold up the arms and store it in the included storage bag. This will keep it in good condition and ready for your next adventure.
