- Rear Crossbar VOLKSWAGEN Caddy Maxi MY11> RENAULT Kangoo Maxi MY13> Important: Please read these instructions carefully prior to and during installation. Check the contents of kit before commencing fitment and report any discrepancies. Clean roof mounting points prior to installation. Important Information Maximum carrying capacity: VW Caddy Maxi 100kg. Evenly distributed over all crossbars. Renault Kangoo/ Kangoo Maxi & Nissan Kubistar 80kg. Evenly distributed over all crossbars. Recommendations: It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your crossbars. Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (probably once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). You should also check the crossbars each time they are re-fitted. Make sure to fasten your load securely. Ensure all loads are evenly distributed and centre of gravity is kept as low as possible. Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps. 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. Load ratings: Maximum permissible load for Caddy Maxi is 100kg per pair of crossbars, for Kangoo/Kubistar is 80kg. When crossbars are to be used in off-road conditions, please build a safety factor of 1.5 into this load limit. 66kg for Caddy/Caddy Maxi. 53kg for Kangoo/ Kubistar. Although the crossbars are tested and approved to AS1235-2000, off-road conditions can be much more rigorous. However, increasing the number of crossbars does not increase the vehicles maximum permissible roof loading. Note for Dealers and Fitters: It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client. Rhino-Rack 3 Pike Street, Rydalmere, Document No: R137 NSW 2116, Australia.

! ü! ü! km/h X 2 x Crossbars = 5kg/11lbs? kg/lbs When these roof racks are to be used on a vehicle that is driven off sealed roads, the manufacturer maximum roof load rating (found in the vehicles User Manual) should be divided by 1.5. Subtract 5kg/11lbs from your maximum carrying capacity to account for the weight of the roof racks. Max: 100kg/220lbs (Urban road) = Max: 66kg/145lbs (Off road) WARNING! Important Load Carrying Instructions With utility vehicles, the cabin and the canopy move independently. Roofracks and vehicle can be damaged if the item transported is rigidly fixed at points on both the cabin and canopy. Instead, rigidly fix to either the cabin roofracks or the canopy roofracks. üyes XNO üyes Page 2 of 6
