• Place the Extension Frame on top of the Mounting late with the raised block side facing up. The two holes located on the end of the Plate should align with the two channels in the Frame. See image 3.

  

• Insert the 1 3/4" Carriage Bolts down and through the Extension Frame channels and into the holes in the Mounting Plate. See image 4.

  

• Loosely thread the two T-knobs onto the Bolts. Slide the Frame forward towards the Mounting Plate until travel is stopped. Tighten both of the T-knobs. See image 5.

  

Installing Carriers to Cross Bars

• Place the SeaWing onto the Stinger so that the mounting holes in both units are aligned. See image 6. 

  

• Insert a single 70mm Mounting Bolt down through the SeaWing and Mounting Plate. See image 7.

  

• Insert Mounting Bolt through one hole of a Jawz adapter and loosely apply a T-knob. See image 8.

  

• Note: Additional bolt lengths are available.

• Place the Stinger with SeaWing assembly onto the rear cross bar of the vehicle with the V-Block closest to the rear of the vehicle. Swing the Jawz under the crossbar and insert the second 70mm Bolt. See image 9.

  

• Loosely apply the T-knob. Position the assembly to the final location and firmly tighten until the carrier is secure. See image 10.

  

• Using the second SeaWing carrier, insert a Mounting Bolt into one of the top side hex holes. See image 11.

Loading the Kayak

• Route the free end of a 12' Load Strap down through the top of the outer most strap slot and back up through the inside slot of the carrier. Pull the free end until there is an even loop. Repeat for the second carrier. See image 17.

  

• Place the straps parallel to the carriers with the front strap loop on the windshield and the rear strap loop on the back of the vehicle. See image 18.

  

• Loosen the two T-knobs holding the Extension Frame. Pull the Frame out to the rear edge of the vehicle and slightly re-tighten the T-knobs. See image 19.

  

  
  Note: The Extension Frame will bend down under the weight of the kayak. The Frame should be placed so that the rubber pad makes contact with the vehicle's rear edge. This will provide support and protection while the kayak is loaded.

• Position kayak so that the cockpit is evenly centered between the front and rear carriers. The bottom of the kayak should be slightly elevated above each of the carriers and held by the sides of the carriers. See image 23.

  

• Place the strap loops over the kayak so that each loop is positioned directly over a carrier. See image 24.

  

• Pull the free end of each strap loop down until the buckles are positioned half way up the side of the kayak. Thread each free end down and through the top of the outside slot and back up through the bottom of the inside slot. See image 25.
