Cre for your roof rcks IMPORTANT: Plese Red Thoroughly Before Use. Plese ensure tht Roof Rcks re fitted in ccordnce with the Fitting Instructions. It is importnt tht you oserve ll recommendtions outlined elow. Sfe usge It is essentil for the proper ssemly; opertion nd use of the Roof Rck tht the instructions nd sfety precutions supplied re strictly oserved. Red ny fitting, use nd cre instructions crefully. When loding, py prticulr ttention to weight distriution. Alwys ensure tht the lod hs low centre of grvity. Fsten the lod securely ginst sliding nd check regulrly for correct positioning. The Roof Rck nd roof lod must not project eyond the ody of the crrying vehicle. The lod must not extend eyond the sides of the Roof Brs. Long lods should e positioned centrlly on the Roof Rck nd securely fstened t the front nd t the rer. Nrrow nd hevy lods should e crried s close to the end supports s possile. It is your responsiility to comply with sttutory requirements regrding the projection of your lod. Alwys secure the lod with sufficiently strong synthetic or textile strps. Do not use elsticised or "Occy" strps. Do not use dmged or fryed strps nd replce immeditely efore susequent use. 21
Sfe usge (continued): Where permissile, when crrying hevy lods, the ddition of extr crossrs hs proven to e the most successful wy to minimise vehicle roof deformtion. However, incresing the numer of crossrs does not increse the vehicle's mximum permissile roof loding. Check the security of your lod nd the tension of the olts nd fstenings of the Roof Rck efore deprting nd t regulr intervls during your journey. Specilised systems: where pplicle, specilised Roof Rck nd ccessories should e used to crry or secure your lod (eg, Bike Crrier, Wter Crft Crrier). The mximum permissile lod for your Roof Br is the lower of the mximum lod cpcity specified in your vehicle opertion mnul, or specified s pplying to the Roof Rck. Do not exceed the mximum specified lod cpcity. Mximum permissile lod = weight of the Roof Rck + weight of ccessories + weight of lod (crgo). Surfords: surfords should e loded on top of ech other rther thn side y side. Skis: skis should e loded with the front tips fcing towrds the rer of the crrying vehicle. The mounted & loded Roof Rck will ffect your vehicle's hndling chrcteristics, prticulrly relting to crosswind sensitivity, corners, nd ends nd rking ehviour.

Wind resistnce is the numer one cuse of Roof Rck filures. Prior to securing lod, consider the surfce re of the lod to determine the suitility of crrying the lod on the Roof Rcks. Extr cution should e tken when trvelling in high winds, t high speed, or when crrying lods with lrge surfce res (eg tles, ed ses nd mttresses, sheets of wood).t 22
Mintennce: When not used to crry lod, the roof-rck shll e removed. The Roof Rck should e removed regulrly to clen djoining vehicle surfces, ttching loctions nd the Roof Rck itself. It is your responsiility to ensure tht the Roof Rck is dequtely mintined. You should routinely nd regulrly check the proper functioning of your Roof Rcks, nd tighten ll screws, olts, connections nd strps. Immeditely replce ny worn or dmged components.
