Maximum carrying capacity: 75kg (165lbs) evenly distributed over crossbars when mounted on the strongest section of 
the roof.  Please refer to your vehicle manufacturers handbook for maximum roof loading. Always use the lower of the 
two fi gures. Note: Be sure to check the Rhino-Rack website to see if you have the latest version of instructions before 
beginning.

Advisory:

It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after 48hrs from when you fi rst install your crossbars.  Bolt connections should 
be checked again at regular intervals (once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads and 
distances travelled).  You should also check the crossbars each time they are refi 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 vehicle’s User Manual) should be 

divided by a safety factor of

 2

. For example, if the vehicle’s maximum roof 

load rating is 75kgs\165lbs, these racks, when fi tted to this vehicle should have no more than 37.5kgs/82lbs 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 
cornering 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.
