Maintenance

Clean the car roof and surfaces of the
product that will be in contact with the car
roof.

Follow the fitting instructions for fitting the
product to your vehicle. Make sure all steps
are carried out in order.

Set crossbars a minimum distance of
700mm (27 1/2") apart where no other
distance is specified in the fitting
instructions. This is especially important
when carrying long loads.

Check unit is securely attached  whenever
you refit it to the vehicle. If the unit feels
loose, refer to the fitting instructions and
readjust.

Some glass/panoramic roofs and radio
antennae may not be able to be used when
the product is fitted.

Do not modify this product.

Refer to the maximum permitted load
capacity specified in the fitting instructions.
Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturers
roof load rating if it is lower than the
maximum load capacity specified in the
fitting instructions.

Loads should not overhang the sides of the
product and be evenly distributed with the
lowest possible centre of gravity.

Long loads should be secured with non-
elastic straps to the front and rear of the
vehicle.

Objects with pointed ends (e.g. ski poles)
should be carried with the pointed ends to
the rear of the vehicle.

Remove all loose or removable objects
from the load prior to loading.

Make sure all loads are securely fastened
with non-elastic straps. Check regularly
during longer journeys.

A loaded roof rack system can alter the
performance of your vehicle. Be especially
aware of the effects of side winds,
changing of direction, and braking
performance. Avoid rapid acceleration and
deceleration. Drive carefully.

Note that the total height of the vehicle
increases when upright loads are carried.

Products should be locked during transport
if they have locks fitted.
