Important Information
Maximum carrying capacity: 35kg (including frame and roof bars)
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. Please ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that
the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible.
Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps. Sensitivity to cross winds, behaviour in curves and braking.
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-resisting loads; special consideration must be taken
into account when braking.
Please remove cross bars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Load Ratings:
Maximum permissible load is 35kg per ladder rack.
Note for Dealers and Fitters:
It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.
