STEP 1 - INSTALL VERTICAL TUBE AND DAMPER
Using the damper, damper rod and 1-e-clip, install the eyelet end of the
damper to the damper rod using 1-e-clip. The damper comes with a
preinstalled clip on the clevis end side. Remove clip, slide clevis end over the
drive tube cam, and reinstall clip.
Using 2-5/16x2” screws, 2-1” spacers, 1-5/16” nylon lock nut, 1-5/16”
washer, and 1-damper rod, install the vertical ladder stop to each drop down
unit. The inner mounting point will use the 5/16” washer and nut, While the
outer mounting point will use the damper rod for the 5/16x2” screw.
It is recommended to use thread locking compound on the 5/16x2” screw

(Purchased on or after 1/1/2009)
Knaack LLC (the “Manufacturer”) warrants to the original purchaser only that WEATHER GUARD® Truck and
Van Products (the “WEATHER GUARD® Product”) will be free from defects in material and workmanship from
the date of purchase and continuing for the expected lifetime of the WEATHER GUARD® Product. A copy of

Subject to the limitations and exclusions described in this limited warranty, the Manufacturer will remedy
defects in materials or workmanship by providing one of the following remedies at its option and without
charge to the original purchaser for parts or labor: (a) repairing the defective portion of the WEATHER GUARD®
Product or (b) replacing the entire WEATHER GUARD® Product. In addition, the manufacturer may elect at
its option, not to repair or replace the WEATHER GUARD® Product, but rather issue to the original purchaser a
refund equal to the purchase price paid for the WEATHER GUARD® Product or a credit to be used toward the
purchase of new WEATHER GUARD® Product.
What is Not Covered
This limited warranty expressly excludes:
• Defects caused by normal wear and tear, cosmetic rust, scratches, accidents, unlawful vehicle operation,
or modification to the product, or any types or repair of a WEATHER GUARD® Product other than those

overloading, or failure to assemble, mount or use the WEATHER GUARD® Product in accordance with the
Manufacturer’s written instructions or guidelines included with the WEATHER GUARD® Product or made
available to the original purchaser.
• Damage to the contents of the box or vehicle.
• TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY ECONOMIC LOSS,
WHETHER RESULTING FROM NONPERFORMANCE, USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEATHER
GUARD® PRODUCT OR THE MANUFACTURER’S NEGLIGENCE.
No Other Express Warranty Applies
This Limited Lifetime Warranty is the sole and exclusive warranty for WEATHER GUARD® Products. No
