PROVIDED
• (2) keys
• (2 or 4) mounting clamps & (2 or 4) clamp covers
• (2 or 4) feet
• (2 or 4) 2.5" king bolts - partially threaded
• (2 or 4) lock washers & (2 or 4) flat washers
• (2 or 4) couplers with a total of 12 or 24 screws
• (4 or 8) 2" bolts fully threaded with washers (2 or 4 of
these are located in the tube clamps during shipping,
you will need to remove them before assembly)
PREPARATION
Step 1:
• Unpackage Thule Rod Vault and place both sections
on a scratch free surface with the reel housing facing
up, and the nose cone with the rivets facing up
• Remove the parts from the internal packaging box
and lay them out. Cross reference with "provided" list
from above
• Before you begin to assemble: remove the 2" bolts
from the tube clamps (FIGURE #1)
Step 2:
• Place the threaded tube clamps underneath the tubes,
then place the non-threaded piece directly on top
• Slide a lock washer, then a flat washer onto the
partially threaded 2.5" (2 or 4) king bolts
• Place a small amount of the Vibra-Tite thread lock
onto the king bolts and insert king bolt up through
the mounting clamp & clamp cover (x2 or x4) using
a ¼ inch allen wrench, screw king bolts into the tube
clamps and leave them loose enough so that the tube
clamps can still slide back and forth (FIGURE #2)
Step 3:
• Loosen coupler screws with 4mm allen wrench
• Connect the nose cone & reel house sections, making
sure tubes are flush and meet at the center the
couplers, then tighten
506-7389
• (2 or 4) tube clamp sets composed of one threaded
piece and one not threaded piece
• ¼ inch allen wrench (for 2.5" partially threaded bolts &
2" fully threaded bolts)
• 4mm allen wrench (for the coupler screws)
• 1 Vibra-Tite thread lock tube
• Thule Xsporter Adapter (4 or 8 2.5" king bolts)
MEASURE & SET
• Gently set the Thule Rod Vault on top of your vehicle
and adjust the (2 or 4) tube clamps to sit on your
crossbars (ideally, one tube clamp on each side of the
couplers, but not mandatory)
• Make sure the reel housing is far enough forward so
that you can open your rear window or hatch on your
vehicle (some vehicles like Toyota 4runners, may need
a "lift kit" [available separately] so that the reel housing
clears the roof)
• Once adjusted, remove the rod vault and tighten down
the king bolts into place
INSTALL ON YOUR VEHICLE
• Note: If mounting to Thule Xsporter use 2.5" king bolts
instead of 2" bolts on mounting clamp assemblies
• Place Thule Rod Vault on top of vehicle ensuring that it
is straight, twist the clamp cover on the mounting clamp
to expose the bolt holes
• Place one mounting clamp foot under each mounting
clamp and insert (2) 2" bolts with washers and tighten
(FIGURE #3). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, as feet may
break
• Rotate top clamp cover so that the "lock holes" are
aligned (this provides an option to padlock your rod
vault to your vehicle)
• Always check tightness of all bolts before each trip to
ensure the rod vault is secure. Do not overtighten
