FIG 1 FIG 2 Important Safety information Your QuadraTop® Tailgate Bike Pad is in- tended to provide tailgate protection from carrying bikes on your off-road capable vehicle. Before installation, please take a moment to review the fol- lowing safety information and installation instructions. Important safety information is generally preceded by one of three signal words indicating the relative risk of injury. The signal words mean: a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious in- jury. You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions. WARNING CAUTION NOTICE a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. You CAN be moderately HURT and also may suffer property damage if you don’t follow instructions.
