Purpleline AEROplus APS10 User manual

Safety in Use!
The Aeroplus® is subjected to very high
wind forces whilst in use. Please ensure
that all xings are suitably secure and
check the ttings at regular intervals during
any journey.
Please be aware that the overall height of
your vehicle will have increased by
approximately 0.3m when the Aeroplus® is
tted. Beware of height restriction barriers
and low entrances such as garages.
Do not use any form of automated car
wash when the Aeroplus® is tted. This
will damage the Aeroplus®, your vehicle
and could prove dangerous.
When travelling with the Aeroplus® tted,
always adhere to the national speed limit
regulations applicable when towing a
caravan. Speed limits vary in Europe so
please check regional regulations.
Do not exceed 60 Mph/96 Kmh (even if
legally permitted to do so) when using the
Aeroplus®.
Do not use the Aeroplus® if the unit or any
of its accessories are missing or damaged
in any way.

Assembly
The Aeroplus® brackets are designed to t onto most standard roof bars with a bar height up to
35mm. Note: If the optional Angle Adjustment Spacers (H) are utilised the overall height of the
clamp assembly is increased by approx. 20mm, so please ensure there is enough thread on the
Upper Bracket Bolts (B) to securely attach the deector.
Prior to Aeroplus® tment, attach a suitable roof bar to the rear of your vehicle. If your vehicle
is tted with longitudinal roof rails (present on some 4x4s, estate cars and MPVs), you should
attach the roof bar as far as possible towards the rear of the vehicle. (please see Diagram 4 for
guidance).
To t the Aeroplus®, start by tting the Upper Bracket Bolts (B) through the apertures on both
mounting points on the Aeroplus® (A), t the Middle Brackets (C) and secure with the Nylock nuts
(D) .
Position the Aeroplus® central to the width of the roof bar and secure with the Lower Brackets
(E), the Spring Washers (F) and the Knobs (G). Ensure all xings are suitably secure.
The Aeroplus® is now ready for use. Note: Remember to remove from your car when you are not
towing your caravan.
To remove, reverse the procedure on parts (E), (F) and (G). Keep the loose components in a safe
place.
Fitment of Optional Angle Adjustment Spacers
The Spacers (H) will alter the default angle of the Aeroplus™ by ±10° degrees approximately. In
order to optimise performance, it may be necessary to make alterations, as every car/caravan
set-up is dierent.
If required, t the Spacers (H), one in-between the Aeroplus® (A) and the Upper Bracket (B) and
one in-between the underside of the Aeroplus® (A) and the Middle Bracket (C) . If the angle needs
to be steeper, t the top Spacer (H) with the thick end facing the front of the vehicle, to reduce the
angle, reverse the Spacer (please see Diagrams 3 & 5).
A set of Angle Adjustment Spacers are available direct from Purple Line Limited for £14.99
including VAT, post and packaging. Please call 01473 601200 or e-mail: [email protected].
