Yakima Ski Rack Instructions
- 1). Open the top part of the Yakima ski carrier on the front and back by pushing the button in, then lifting the carrier bars up.
- 2). Lift the first pair of skis onto the rack bars, centering the binding between the front and back bars. Mount the skis with the tails facing forward (into the wind).
- 3). Slide the skis toward the hinge on the rack bars.
- 4). Place the next pair of skis onto the rack and slide them until they are almost, but not quite, touching the first pair. Again, load them so the bindings are centered between the front and rear rack bars.
- 5). Load the rest of the skis onto the rack bars until the rack is full. This will be either four or six pairs.
- 6). Pull the top spacers down until they close with a click, then lock the bars by turning the key in the lock clockwise.
