Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you rst install your crossbars. Bolt con-
nections should be checked again at regular intervals (probably once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage,
loads and distances travelled).
You should also check the crossbars each time they are retted. Make sure to fasten your load
securely. Please ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible.
Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Load Ratings
When these roof racks are to be used on a vehicle that is driven off sealed roads, the manufacturer maximum roof load rating (to
be found in the vehicles User Manual) should be
halved
. For example, if the vehicles maximum roof load rating is 70kgs (sub-
tract 5kg = weight of crossbar and legs), these racks, when tted to this vehicle should have no more than 35kgs loaded on them
Caution:
The handling characteristics of the vehicle changes when you transport a load on the roof. For safety reasons we recommend
you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resistant loads. Special consideration must be taken into account when cor-
nering and braking.Please remove crossbars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Note for Dealers and Fitters:
It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.
