Installation
• For 17" or 18" wheels, the maximum cargo weight capacity must not exceed 132 lbs (60 kg).
The roof carrier can be loaded with up to two bicycles.
• For 19" wheels, the maximum cargo weight capacity must not exceed 99 lbs (45 kg).
The roof carrier can be loaded with only one bicycle.
• Before driving, make sure that all fastening parts are fi xed according to regulations. Please check if the load
is fastened properly. Stop after a short drive to check roof carrier, then check every time before driving.
• Make sure to fasten load so that it cannot come loose or cause damage. Be careful to secure load against
movement in driving direction or sideways movements. When loading the roof carrier, make sure that the
weight is evenly distributed and that the center of gravity of the load is kept as low as possible.
• For safety reasons, the load may not protrude from the vehicle outline.
• Be careful when loading a long object, as it may interfere with opening the tailgate.
• Do not put the vehicle through an automatic vehicle wash when the roof carrier is mounted.
• Sudden starts or stops can cause rattling or loosening of the roof carrier. Drive at moderate speed.
• When the roof carrier is installed, the vehicle height is increased. Pay attention not to hit the roof carrier
while driving under bridges, tunnels, trees, etc.
• Please pay attention to the altered behavior to the vehicle (due to side wind sensitivity, when driving in
bends and when braking) when you drive a mounted (loaded) roof carrier. To safeguard other road users,
and in order to reduce air resistance, the roof carrier should be dismounted if it is not used.
• When objects with large surfaces are transported, (e.g. surfboards, ski/transport boxes) the increased
air resistance will create signifi cant stress on the roof of the vehicle. (When transporting a surfboard, the
nose should point downwards toward the front of the vehicle.) The driving characteristics change as well;
therefore we recommend you to adjust your speed accordingly.
• Obey local laws and regulations.
• All wheel sizes and attachments may not be applicable depending on the sales area.
