The bulkhead consists of two identical 4' x 8' plywood panels. Metal loadbars mounted to each panel are equipped with black rubber pads that press against the trailer walls to secure the bulkhead inside the trailer. The small round silver button is used to adjust loadbar length. Pumping the black lever with your hand will extend the tightening arm out up to 8 inches. The tightening arm retracts into the loadbar by holding down the red button while compressing the arm into the loadbar. Please ensure that the panels always remain in a dry place, not exposed to moisture.

* For security, it is recommended that you cover your belongings with a tarp or cardboard before installing the bulkhead.

Safety Measures:protective gloves should be worn while assembling and disassembling the bulkhead. U-Pack recommends two-person setup and removal as demonstrated in the photos.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

	Step 1: Lean the two panels side by side against your U-Pack shipment. The black pump handles must be oriented as shown in photo.
	Step 2: Slide the loadbars together so that they fully connect in the center. Do this for top and bottom loadbars.
	Step 3: Depress the round silver button and extend the adjustable arm out to the next-to-last or last adjustment hole. Do this for the top and bottom loadbars.
	Step 4: Stand the bulkhead upright against your shipment perpendicular to the trailer floor. Pump the black handle until pads touch both trailer walls. Then pump the black handle an additional 10-12 times to secure the bulkhead inside the trailer. Do this for the top and bottom loadbars.
	Installed and Ready for Transit - The bulkhead is intended to be a separator and not designed to withstand the entire weight of your belongings if the load shifts.
