This guide provides general principles. For specific steps, please refer to the included diagrams/online videos and prioritize following your UTV's Service Manual.

5.1. Pre-Installation Preparation

1. Secure Parking: Park the UTV on a flat, stable surface. Turn off the engine and ensure it is securely supported by the main stand or a paddock stand.
2. Tool Preparation: Use tools of the appropriate specification and good quality (e.g., torque wrench, hex keys). Do not use worn or damaged tools.
3. Clean Contact Surfaces: Thoroughly clean the original mounting area on the UTV and the contact surface on the back of this product to ensure they are free of oil, grease, rust, or old adhesive residue.

5.2. General Installation Steps

The installation process involves assembling the rack components and then mounting the assembled unit to your UTV. Refer to the video and images for visual guidance.

1. Assemble the Grips: Attach the two gun/tool grips to the central mounting bar using the provided hardware. Ensure they are securely fastened but allow for initial adjustment.
2. Attach to Mounting Plate: Secure the assembled grips to the main mounting plate. The plate is designed with slots for flexible positioning.



3. Mount to UTV (Polaris Ranger XP 1000/1000):
   • Locate the mounting points under the rear seat of your Polaris Ranger. These are typically existing bolt holes.
   • Align the mounting plate with these holes.
   • Secure the plate using the provided screws and an Allen wrench.
   • Ensure the rack is firmly attached and does not wobble.

   

4. Mount to UTV (Can-Am Defender):
   • Locate the mounting points under the seat of your Can-Am Defender.
   • Align the mounting plate with these holes.
   • Secure the plate using the provided screws and an Allen wrench.
   • Ensure the rack is firmly attached and does not wobble.

   

5. Trial Fit & Alignment: Before final tightening, place the product in the installation position to confirm that all holes align and that there is no contact with surrounding components.
6. Post-Installation Check: After installation, check by hand to ensure the part is secure and does not wobble. Slowly and carefully operate the relevant vehicle mechanisms (e.g., turning the handlebars, applying the brakes, moving the suspension up/down) while visually observing to ensure there is no interference or friction at any point in the range of motion.

6. Operating Instructions

The KEMITOUR gun holder rack is designed for secure and convenient storage of various tools and firearms.

1. Placing Items: Open the U-shaped grips and carefully place your gun, shovel, bow, or other tool into the grips. The toothed pads will help secure the item.
2. Securing Items: Use the provided rubber straps or other securing mechanisms to firmly hold the item in place within the grips. Ensure the item is snug and cannot shift during vehicle movement.





3. Adjusting Angle: The grips feature an adjustable angle mechanism. Loosen the adjustment knob, set the desired angle to best fit your item, and then tighten the knob to secure.



4. Hiding the Rack: When not in use, the rack can be folded down and hidden under the UTV seat for a clean look and to protect the grips.

7. Maintenance

• Periodic Inspection: It is recommended to perform an inspection every 500 km traveled or monthly to confirm that all fasteners are secure and not loose.
• Cleaning: Clean the product surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using strong acids, alkalis, or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the surface coating.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your KEMIMOTO UTV Gun Holder Rack, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Rack feels loose after installation: Re-check all mounting screws and bolts. Ensure they are tightened to the appropriate torque specifications. Verify that the mounting plate is flush against the UTV frame.
• Items not securely held: Ensure the adjustable grips are tightened correctly around the item. Use the provided rubber straps or additional securing methods if necessary to prevent movement during transit.
• Difficulty adjusting angle: Loosen the adjustment knob sufficiently before attempting to change the angle. If stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
• Scratches on items: Confirm that the rubber layers and toothed pads are intact and properly positioned within the grips. Replace any worn or damaged rubber components.
• Interference with UTV components: Re-check the "Trial Fit & Alignment" step from the installation guide. Ensure the rack is not making contact with any moving parts or seat mechanisms. Adjust position if possible, or consult a professional technician.

9. User Tips

• For optimal security, always use the rubber straps or bungee cords to further secure your items in the grips, especially when traversing rough terrain.
• Periodically check the condition of the rubber padding on the grips. Over time, exposure to elements can cause wear, reducing their protective and gripping capabilities.
• When storing the rack under the seat, ensure no items are left in the grips that could interfere with the seat mechanism or cause damage.
• Consider the weight and balance of the items you are carrying to maintain UTV stability.
