ROOF RACK AND LADDER
13.1.1
When using the roof rack, care should be taken to see that all the items are
securely anchored. Apart from general cleaning and polishing, the stainless steel
roof rack and ladder require no special maintenance.
13.1.2
Maximum load within the area encompassed by the roof rack should not exceed
280lbs with a maximum loading of 17lbs per square foot.

When a top box is fitted, ensure that the top box sits on the roof of the vehicle
and not resting on the roof rack bars. This places undue strain on the roof rack
and could cause cracking in the areas when the roof rack is attached to the roof.
