The GP-1 was designed to store most backpack blowers and sprayers. Most blowers and sprayers can be installed facing in either direction depending on the preferred method of use. The versatile design even allows a backpack sprayer or blower to be loaded into the rack by the user while wearing it in many cases. To load a blower or sprayer in this manor, simply walk up to the rack then turn around and step back resting the tool on the GP-1's bottom shelf and remove the shoulder straps. In most cases the tool will sit on its own until secured with the straps, however always hold onto it until it's secured. Make certain that the tool being installed will be retained in the rack by the adjustable "U· shaped retention bracket and strap. There are numerous attachment points on the GP-1 where stretch cords can be attached to secure blower tubes, etc. Open Trailer Installation To attach the "lower post" to the "rack unit" ofthe GP-1, the "lower post" must be drilled through at two locations which match the two holes in the "COchannel on the "rack unit". The height of the "rack unit" can be set and is determined by the location ofthe holes drilled into the "lower post". Attach the "lower post" to the "rack unit" using the two 3/8" x 2&1/2" grade 5 bolts and self locking nuts provided. Attach the GP-1 rack to the upper and lower rails of your trailer. See illustration below. The rack's vertical post must be drilled in two locations that match up to the upper and lower rails of the trailer. When drilling the post, be certain to drill it in the center. Due to the many different construction techniques used on trailers, the hardware required to attach the rack is not included and must be acquired by the user. A minimum of two 3/8" grade "5" bolts and lock nuts are required. Install the "U" shaped retention bracket onto the rack cradle using the four 5/16" grade "5" bolts and lock nuts provided. There are three different sets of horizontal holes at different heights in the cradle for which to attach the retention bracket in order to best secure the tool being installed. Once the height setting is chosen, the retention bracket can also be adjusted laterally front to back and should be installed to provide the clearance. This will enable the tool to rest on the bottom of the cradle, yet allow minimal space for the tool to move around. Next, attach the cam lock buckle and strap to the cradle. There are 11 vertical holes in each side of the cradle that allow the strap and buckle to be installed at different heights in order to best secure the tool. Attach the strap and buckle by inserting a ''tie plate" into the loop on each one and fasten it to the outside of the cradle using two 5/16" grade "5" bolts and lock nuts per strap. The unfinished end of the strap can now be secured thru the buckle. Install the plastic end cap into the top of post (open trailer version only). An optional "H-Shaped" strap kit (part # GK-1) can be purchased to provide additional security for certain tools. Visit www.trimmertrap.com for additional information. The maximum weight capacity is 50 pounds. Replace any worn or broken parts at once!
