These instructions contain IMPORTANT safety information. Please read and keep for future reference.
The user must read and understand these Instruction Sheets and the Warranty.
Installation is the end user’s responsibility and beyond Cequent Consumer Products’ control. Therefore, Cequent Consumer Products
exclusively limits its Warranty to the repair or replacement of a defective product. Damage to your vehicle, your cargo or any person or
property is excluded.
• Your cargo basket must be inspected for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue before each use. DO NOT use if bent or deformed.
• Make sure your cargo basket is secure before every trip. Check at each stop to ensure your cargo basket is secure.
• DO NOT exceed your vehicle’s rated roof capacity, the capacity of your vehicle’s cross bars, or 130lb. (59 kg) capacity of the cargo
basket. Consult the owner’s manual for your vehicle.
• NEVER use more than 1 expander with your cargo basket.
• If your vehicle does not have cross bars, DO NOT attempt to install cargo basket.
• DO NOT attempt to drill, weld, or modify your cargo basket or any of the system components.
• DO NOT use your cargo basket for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
• DO NOT use your cargo basket to transport people, animals, or flammable liquids.
• Check local and state laws governing projection of objects beyond the perimeter of a vehicle. Be aware of the width and height of
your cargo since low clearance branches, bridges, and parking garages can affect the load.
• ALWAYS use caution when opening sunroof, tailgate or hatch when using your cargo basket to transport cargo to prevent damage to
vehicle.
• NEVER use elastic straps or belts to secure cargo.
• Tie down LONG LOADS to the front and rear bumpers or tow hooks of the vehicle.
• ALWAYS obey all posted speed limits and be aware of traffic conditions. Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and the load
being carried.
• REDUCE YOUR SPEED. Your vehicle can handle differently when transporting cargo.
• FREQUENTLY check your cargo basket and make sure the cargo is secure. Cargo can shift or your cargo basket can loosen during
travel. Readjust as needed. If movement continues, stop use.
• ALWAYS unload all objects before removing your cargo basket from your roof.
• Remove your cargo basket when not in use and before entering automatic car washes.
• As with any metal equipment, it is recommended that you keep the unit clean and remove road salt and debris.
• Do not allow harsh chemicals, road salt, or mud to accumulate on the product for an extended period of time.
• Wash the product with mild soap and water only, and use a non-abrasive cloth.
