IMPORTANT: Please Read Before Setup:
The Brake Rack is designed and compatible with residential and contractor brake models from major brands with a maximum depth of 14" and a maximum length of 10'6".

BR-22000 MODEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- The Brake Rack BR-22000 must be installed according to the enclosed mounting template, keeping in mind that there is a top and bottom to the mounting template.
- The BR-22000 MUST ONLY be mounted on permanently installed steel or aluminum ladder racks that can SAFELY support the weight of the brake once installed.
- The BR-22000 is supplied with a 1½ x 2½ stop bolt mounted for "vertical" post ladder racks to position the brake horizontally in the lowered position.
- IF your ladder rack is tilted out of vertical, reposition the STOP BOLT in one of the 10-degree holes that is most appropriate to adjust the arm to horizontal with the brake rack in the lowered position. Use the ¾" outside diameter by 1½" long spacer to make fine adjustments in addition to the 10-degree holes supplied in the BR-22000 body.
This diagram illustrates the key components and adjustment points of the Brake Rack system.
- Retaining Pin: Located at the bottom, this pin holds the arm in a vertical position.
- Arm Pivot Pin: Positioned where the arm pivots.
- 10-degree Stop Bolt Positions: Several holes are shown along the arm, indicating different positions for the stop bolt to adjust the angle.
- Mounting Holes (3): Three holes are shown on the bracket, indicating where the bracket mounts to the ladder rack support.
MOUNTING THE BRAKE ON THE MOBILE ARM OF THE BRAKE RACK
Method I
If you have access to the brake support rail, drill a hole directly through the rail as shown in the figure. Use the Brake Rack mobile arm hole drawing as a guide to drill the holes in the rails. Drill 4 holes in the brake to firmly mount it to the Brake Rack mobile arm.
This diagram shows Method I for mounting the brake. It depicts the brake rails or base, a 5" bolt, a 3/8" nut, and a 3/8" washer. An arrow indicates drilling a 13/32" hole through the brake rails or base to attach to the Brake Rack mobile arm.
Method II
If you do not have direct access to the brake rails or prefer not to drill through them, Method II allows mounting using a clamping plate. 4 clamping plates are supplied. Use 1 clamping plate and 2 bolts in 4 locations to firmly mount the Brake to the Brake Rack Mobile Arm. Drilling is not necessary. Use 2 holes in the Brake Rack Mobile Arm.
This diagram illustrates Method II, showing the brake rails or base, a 5" bolt, a 3/8" nut, and a 3/8" washer. It also shows clamping plates used in 4 locations to secure the brake to the Brake Rack mobile arm. An arm extender is also depicted, indicating how it connects to the mobile arm.
