Rhino-Rack 572 User manual

Maximum Load Capacity evenly distributed inside ski carriers:
6 Pair = 79lbs/36kg.
4 Pair = 53lbs/24kg.
2 Pair = 26lbs/12kg.
3 Pair = 39lbs/18kg.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your crossbars and acces-
sories. Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (probably once a week is enough, depending on road con-
ditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). Please ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity
is kept as low as possible. Make sure to fasten your load securely.
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 & accessories when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Off-road use:
Ski/ Snowboard Carriers are not recommended for off-road use.
Note for Dealers and Fitters:
It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.
