CAUTION WARNING
Before you Start
FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT CALL 03 8351 9933
Read through the fitting instructions before installation of Clearview Accessories.
Always install the accessory following the fitting instructions. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the vehicle or the accessory and will void your warranty.
Ensure all packaging materials are recycled and/or disposed of in accordance with
local regulations.
Safely store and protect any removed vehicle components.
Remove all metal swarf and dust from all vehicle surfaces if the surface is used for
accessory installation.
Consumer assumes all risks associated with product performance after installation.
Rock Tamers® will not protect everything and everyone from harm. Results may vary
depending on road surface and conditions, vehicle types, weather conditions,
installation, and driving input. Please apply common sense to your expectations
relating to product performance.
Car Washes; You must remove the mudflap system before entering any drive-
through car wash.

Any modifications to the factory-installed exhaust system may void your
manufacturer’s warranty.
Adequate clearance must be maintained to prevent heat damage to the flaps. If this
cannot be achieved we suggest fitting a 90degree dump or curved aluminum heat
deflector to the tailpipe. This will divert hot gasses away from the flaps.
For vehicles with exhausts that cannot be diverted we suggest attaching an aluminum
heat shield to the mud flap clamp bolts in the vicinity of the exhaust. This will deflect
the heat while allowing the flap to move freely.
Common sense should prevail, if you feel your flaps are getting too hot because of the
exhaust then have the modification done.
EXHAUSTS:
Before you Start
FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT CALL 03 8351 9933 7
PERFORMANCE:
The static angle of the flaps can be increased up to 35 degrees from the vertical. This will
enhance the performance of the flaps and help eliminate the chance of stones re-
bounding back onto the tow vehicle. When travelling, the flaps need to be sitting at about
45 degrees to be effective. Adjusting the static angle will help achieve this.
Some Australian vehicles (for example the 200 series LandCruiser) require the center hub
to be turned upside down which lowers the pivoting point of the support arms by about
35mm. Doing this lessens the angle required of the supporting arms, allowing the rear
tailgate to be opened without damage.
If the center hub and supporting arms are mounted on a 200 series LandCruiser without
this modification, you cannot open the rear tailgate. It is also important to increase the
static angle of the flaps even more because the flaps sit further away from the vehicle.
Clearview Accessories provides a free Rock Screen with every set of Rock Tamers. This
lightweight mesh insert is also available to be purchased separately for vehicles regularly
travelling on gravel roads and off road driving. This insert, when fitted between the two
flaps, will reduce the occurrence of stray stones, debris etc. rebounding off the A-frame of
your tow vehicle. Available in two sizes: 750mm wide and 900mm wide.
MAINTENANCE:
Car Washes: You must remove the mudflap system before entering any drive-through car
wash.
Extend the life of your Rock Tamers: When not in use, spray the hub and fittings with a
lanolin-based spray and wipe off excess. This will protect against corrosion etc. particularly
when used salty conditions.
Before travelling, check all bolts to ensure that they are tight. For optimum service and life,
check components and the torque on all bolts prior to each use.
Rock Tamers will not protect everything from harm. Results may vary depending on road
surface and conditions, vehicle types, weather conditions, installation and driving input
(particularly speed). Please apply common sense to your expectations relating to the
product’s performance.

The lowest point of the mud flaps need to
be a minimum of 100mm off the ground
when hitched or fully loaded. Ensure the
mudflaps are installed with a slight curve at
the top so there is tension on the rubber,
this will help provide maximum protection
from rocks and debris etc. (See page 7)
