CAUTION

READ THIS BEFORE ASSEMBLY OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID

• For safety, all locking and latching devices must be engaged (and keys removed) before putting the vehicle in motion. When locking the carrier with the key locks, check to make sure the locks are engaged by attempting to lift the top. 

If one or both ends lift, unlock the locks, reposition the top and relock. Check for engagement again and if properly locked, remove both keys.

• Do not travel with an empty hardshell at speeds over 40 MPH (65 kph). Keep a minimum of 50 lbs. in the Carrier to help keep it down on the roof.
• High speed travel with an empty or lightly loaded carrier should be avoided. In such cases, make certain that the carrier is properly and securely attached and travel at reduced speeds to prevent undesirable wind effects. 

If possible, relocate items from the vehicle (i.e. spare tire, jack, etc.) into the carrier as a temporary load.

IMPORTANT - MUST READ INSTRUCTION SHEET BEFORE ASSEMBLING

Before assembling and attaching the Car-Top Carrier (the “Carrier”) please carefully read the instructions for the installation and use of the Carrier printed below. Assembly and installation of the Carrier is solely your responsibility. 
Consequently, the manufacturer’s warranty is exclusively limited to the repair or replacement of a defective Carrier. Damage to your vehicle, its contents, or to any person or property is excluded from the warranty.
• Because of the size and structural difference between vehicles, we rely upon your discretion in attaching the Carrier to your roof and/or rack systems.
• Consult your owner’s manual for recommended roof load capacity, however in no case should more than 100 pounds, evenly distributed, be transported in the Carrier.
• All hardware should be firmly attached, tightened and locked before every trip. When traveling, periodically inspect hardware to determine that they are fastened securely. 

If fastening hardware show any signs of wear, corrosion, or fatigue, replace before use of carrier.

• Remove your Carrier when it is not in use.
• The Carrier is water resistant, not waterproof. Protect your contents accordingly.

NOTE: Do not place valuable or fragile items in the Carrier. Sudden stops may cause contents to shift, possibly damaging valuable and/or fragile items. 
The manufacturer or retailer cannot be held responsible for damage to or loss of personal belongings.
