TadPoleTM
Safety and Warnings
The recommendations,
requirements, rules, and instructions of your
Vehicle's “Roof-Top” Rack System should ALWAYS be
followed. The TadPoleTM, and its presence, should in
NO WAY change or alter the requirements of your
existing system. If you find there is a
contradiction, you are confused about the
instructions, or the instructions for the TadPoleTM
negate instructions for your Roof-Top system, DO NOT
USE the TadPoleTM.
 |
The STYKOR TadPoleTM should
only be used to supplement your "Already-Installed"
Roof-Top Rack System. |
|
|
The TadPoleTM should NOT be
attached to the trunk of a vehicle unless it is
actively being used to assist Roof-Top Carry.
|
|
|
The load/object(s) being
carried must be continuous items that extend over
BOTH Roof-Top Racks and the TadPoleTM.
|
|
|
The load/object that is being
carried must extend the entire length of BOTH
Roof-Top Racks and the TadPoleTM.
|
|
|
The load/object being
transported should be secured to the Roof-Top Rack
System as though the TadPoleTM was not installed.
|
|
|
The TadPoleTM is only meant to
prevent the object that you are carrying from
excessive bouncing, shifting, & stress at the point
of rack-contact. |
|
|
The TadPoleTM is
NOT meant to
increase the weight capacity of your
"already-installed" Roof-Top Rack System.
|
|
|
The TadPoleTM is
NOT meant to
increase, exceed, or alter in any way, the
recommendations of your Vehicle's Roof-Top System.
|
|
|
Always use appropriate
markers/flags at the end of any object that may
extend beyond the vehicle itself.
|
|
|
It is normal for the TadPoleTM
to lack perfect-stability until the continuous
load/object is placed across your Roof-Top racks and
the TadPoleTM.
|
|
|
Excessive weight on the
TadPoleTM could damage your Trunk.
|
|
|
The TadPoleTM is only meant to
prevent excessive bouncing, shifting, & stress of/on
the object(s) being transported and assist with wind
resistance. |
|
|
Do not forcefully close/slam
the trunk with the TadPoleTM installed. This could
damage your trunk. |
|
|
Place the TadPoleTM near the
rear of your vehicle's trunk where there is usually
an increase in trunk rigidity.
|
|
|
Remove any dirt, sand, or other
abrasives from your trunk's surface and the
TadPoleTM protective pad, to prevent scratching
paint. Store the TadPoleTM in a dry location.

 Some types of kayaks & canoes are very heavy. While the TadPole is capable
of supporting their weight, your trunk lid may not be. Use caution when loading
heavier objects such as these, and monitor the top of your trunk for any
malformation or indentation. This is a sign that the object you are carrying is too heavy for your vehicle type.
