times. Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI  
approved dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts  
and mists.  
9. DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Do not yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle.  
Do not carry tools by the cord.  
10. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or  
across running machines.  
11. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-  
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords  
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handles  
must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.  
12. DISCONNECT POWER. Unplug when not in use, before servicing, and when changing  
accessories.  
13. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and  
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.  
14. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position when not in  
use and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it is  
plugged in or not.  
15. OUTDOOR EXTENSIONS CORDS. When the equipment is operated outdoors, use only  
extension cords intended for outside use. See chart under “Extension Cords” for the proper  
AWG rating depending on the length of the cord(s) being used.  
16. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing; use common sense. Do not operate any tool when  
you are tired.  
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should  
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended  
function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting  
fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged  
should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if any  
switch does not turn on and off properly.  
18. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such  
as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.  
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. When servicing, use only identical replace-  
ment parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for  
use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight Tools.  
20. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS. Read  
warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while  
taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.

Caution: Be aware of the possible risk of fire and damage to property resulting from the  
vehicle’s exhaust pipe pointing at the cargo put in this Cargo Carrier. Before installing the Cargo  
Carrier, check to make sure that the exhaust pipe is not pointing in the direction of the cargo.  
Flammable cargo can ignite from exposure to heat. Other cargo can be damaged from the heat.  
Always be aware of this potential danger, and never use the Cargo Carrier if this risk exists.

OPERATION  
Step 1: Request a friend’s help to lift the Excess Cargo Carrier.  
Step 2: Lift the Excess Cargo Carrier and place the RECEIVER MOUNTING BAR into the  
Hitch Receiver mounted to your vehicle.  
Step 3: Line up the horizontal hole in the RECEIVER MOUNTING BAR with the hole in your  
Hitch. When the holes line up, place your locking mechanism through the holes to  
secure the Excess Cargo Carrier.  
Your Excess Cargo Carrier can be loaded with up to 500 lbs. of cargo.  
Caution: The load weight must be centered or evenly distributed across the Bed Frame (D).  
Always use appropriate tie-down restraints to securely attach any cargo loaded onto the Excess  
Cargo Carrier before moving your vehicle any distance. Do not leave loose items on the BED  
FRAME while operating the vehicle.  
DO NOT EXCEED THE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED PRODUCT WEIGHT  
CAPACITY. Doing so can result in personal injury and/or damage to the product.  
Caution: Be aware of dynamic loading! If the vehicle hits a bump, a slight play in the receiv-  
ing hitch or a movement in the load could result in a momentary dynamic loading effect that  
could dramatically increase the actual load weight. This momentary dynamic loading effect  
could result in damage to the Excess Cargo Carrier, damage to the load and possible personal  
injury.  
Note: Any load over 350 Lbs. requires a Class 3 hitch on the vehicle.  
(Class 2 Hitch = 350 Lbs. maximum tongue weight)  
(Class 3 Hitch = 500 Lbs. maximum tongue weight)
