WaRNING:

 Our rack is produced with the greatest care and is guaranteed against any fault in 

materials and workmanship. The purchaser acknowledges that the manufacturer has no control 

over the attachment of its products to vehicles or the attachment of items to the manufacturer 

products. Accordingly the manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for any damage to any 

property arising out of the improper attachment or use of its products. Read and follow assembly 

and mounting instructions carefully before using products. Racks must be absolutely tight on 

the car roof. Check the security of fitment after ten miles and then every 100 miles on poor 

surfaces or twisting roads. Always check that brackets are fully engaged on each side of your 

car under a strong metal part of the bodywork (this is most important especially in the case of 

cars with only two or three doors. Check vehicle manufacturer’s handbook for maximum roof 

loading recommendations. 75 kg evenly distributed between front and rear bars is usually the 

maximum allowed weight. - Take into consideration the weight of the bars (8 kg) (e.g. vehicle 

max roof load, 75 kg - capacity 75 - 8 = 67 kg) - Never exceed vehicle max; roof loading 

capacity, also take into consideration further loading on bars (e.g. cycle carrier 3 kg + cycle 10 

kg). Dedicated accessories are designed for some loads (for instance skis or cycle carriers) it is 

advised to use them whenever available. Adapt your travelling speed to the load being carried. 

Bulky loads (such a windsurf boards, wood panels, bed frames, etc.) create significant wind drag, 

this requires special attention: - Use only top quality straps (tie down systems or load straps) 

bungee cords must be avoided - Use an adequate number of straps on the rack - In case of 

long loads, tie down front end of the load to bumper - Do not drive over 55 mph. Keep these 

instructions for future use.

Secure the position of the clamp the twist the allen key clockwise to tighten the 

clamp securely onto the roof rail. Always ensure that the mounting bracket is correctly 

connected (see diagram A) to the roof rail. Incorrect connection (see diagrams B & C) 

can lead to unstable loads causing a danger to other road users.

A U-bolt or a T-bolt (not included) are typically used when fixing other roof top items 

onto your roof bars. If using a T-bolt simply open the end cap, slide the T-bolt into the

Warnings / Limitations: The load you are carrying plus the weight of the

rack must not exceed the maximum weight limitation of the vehicle’s factory

raised side rails. Before installing, confirm your vehicle’s factory specifications.

. Never assume a cross bar will fit. Always refer to Malone’s Fit Guide for proper, correct and approved vehicle fit.

. Locks must be turned periodically and lubricated to ensure smooth operation. Use of a dry lubricant is recommended.

. Confirm that all bolts and locks are firmly secured prior to transport. Periodically check the load during transport.

. Do not continue to use the product if excessive corrosion, deformity or any mechanical defect is detected.

. Check local and state laws governing projection of objects beyond the perimeter of the vehicle.

. Malone locks are designed to deter vandalism and theft but should not be considered theft proof.

. Obey all posed speed limits and traffic cautions. Adapt your driving for the load being transported.

. Do not use Malone cross bars for purposes other than what they were designed for.

. Not for use on trailers or any other modes of transport other than vehicle rooftop transport.

. Failure to follow these guidelines will void the warranty.
