Failure to properly secure cargo can cause injury when the vehicle is in
motion.

greater than 220 lb. (100 kg) may cause damage to the deck, deck rail
system, tie-down cleat and/or the cargo.
●Do not exceed a total tensile load of 440 lb. (200 kg) per deck rail.
●Do not install more than the following number of tie-down cleats per deck
