STEP 5
With another person's help, load the
kayak onto the car rooftop and
center the kayak between the two
J-cradles. Make sure the cockpit is
facing toward you. See figure 3.
STEP 6
Route the free end of
the strap (9#) around
the top of the longer
arms of the J-cradle.
Pull and route both
the buckle end and
free end of the strap
(9#) over the kayak.
Pull down the free
end of the strap (9#)
until the buckle end is
positioned halfway
up the side of the
kayak. Thread the
free end of the strap
(9#) down and under the crossbar. See figure 4.
Press the buckle and insert the free end through the buckle. Pull down the free end
to take up the excessive strap to avoid the excessive strap flapping in the wind.
