Please refer to your vehicle manufacturers handbook for maximum roof load capacity, always use the lower of the two fi gures. Recommendations: It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you fi rst install your crossbars. Bolt connections should be checked and lubricated 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 refi tted. Make sure to fasten your load securely. Please ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible. Crossbars must be removed when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash. 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. Off-road Load Rating: When crossbars are to be used in off-road conditions, please build a safety factor of.5 into this load limit for off-road use, two crossbars = 40kg/88lbs. Although the crossbars are tested and approved to AS5-000, off-road conditions can be much more rigorous. However, increasing the number of crossbars does not increase the vehicles maximum permissible roof loading.
