Dear Sherpak GO! Customer:
Thank
you for purchasing the Sherpak GO! Car-top Gear Stow. We
are confident that with the proper care and consideration, you will be very
satisfied with the Sherpaks performance.
Please follow
these helpful instructions:
Loading
the Sherpak GO!
Before loading make sure the top of your
vehicle has been washed thoroughly to prevent dirt from
scratching the surface of your roof
underneath the Gear Stow.
Position the unzipped Sherpak GO! on
the roof between your vehicles rack bars. The zipper
should be running lengthwise to your
vehicle with the widest side of the weather flap towards the front
of the vehicle.
Load the cargo area with weight evenly
distributed to ensure maximum performance.
Make sure not
to throw heavy objects into the Sherpak
GO! as this may dent
the roof of your car.
Once the cargo area has been loaded, zip the Sherpak GO!
closed.
Loop the 2" straps under your vehicles
rack bars and snap the quick release buckles into place.
Take up any excess slack by pulling on the
ends of the strap until they fit snugly against the outer
edge of the rack bars and tuck excess
straps into the attached strap keeper. Make
sure not to cinch
it so tight that you damage or bend your racks.
To
secure the two lateral compression straps over the top of the Sherpak
GO!
snap the quick-
release buckles into place and tighten.
When
stopping, always check to make sure no one has tampered with any quick-release
buckles
before continuing your journey.
Please
note, some people find it easier to load the Sherpak GO! while it is still on the ground
and
then transfer it fully loaded to the
car-top. Although this may seem easier,
Seattle Sports warns you
that lifting heavy objects may cause personal injury and
damage to your vehicle. Never lift a
loaded Sherpak GO! by the webbing. Excessive pressure on any sewn point may
cause
irreparable damage.

GO!
Care
The Sherpak GO! is made from
heavy-duty 19 ounce coated vinyl which can easily be washed with
mild soap and water. Customers who wish to maximize the life of their
gear stow may want to
periodically clean the Sherpak
GO! with a vinyl conditioner.
Keep all webbing away from sharp objects that
could cause fraying and performance defects.
When not in use, fold the Sherpak GO! with all
webbing straps folded into the middle to
protect them and the buckles.
Warning!
Contents may shift during travel. Do not attempt to lift a
fully loaded Sherpak GO! off the
vehicle.
Always
secure the Sherpak GO! before driving.
If
you hear excessive flapping noise, immediately pull over and check to make sure
the Sherpak GO! is
firmly secured.
Be
extremely careful to make sure sharp or heavy objects are well padded within
the Sherpak GO! If there is
any question, put these objects inside your vehicle.
