Rhino-Rack Rhino 2500 series User manual

Maximum carrying capacity: 75kg (165lbs) evenly distributed over crossbars. Please refer to your vehicle
 manufacturershandbookandDKSpecicationsheetformaximumroofloading.
 Alwaysusethelowerofthetwogures.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you rst install your crossbars. Bolt con-
nections 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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.
Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Load Ratings
When these roof racks are to be used on a vehicle that is driven off sealed roads, the manufacturer maximum roof load rating (to
be found in the vehicles User Manual) should be halved. For example, if the vehicles maximum roof load rating is 70kgs (sub-
tract 5kg = weight of crossbar and legs), these racks, when tted to this vehicle should have no more than 35kgs loaded on them
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 cor-
nering and braking.Please remove crossbars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Note for Dealers and Fitters:
It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.
IMPORTANT Care Instruction: WashandcleanthevehicleroofpriortottingtheRoofracks.
PLEASE READ THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FITTING.
Rhino 2500 series for Euro Crossbar.
Important: Please refer to your tting instruction to ensure that the roof racks are installed in the correct locations.
Check the contents of kit before commencing tment and report any discrepancies.
Place these instructions in the vehicle’s glove box after installation is complete.

WARNING! Important Load Carrying Instructions
With utility vehicles, the cabin and the canopy move
independently. Roofracks and vehicle can be damaged if the
item transported is rigidly xed at points on both the cabin and
canopy. Instead, rigidly x to either the cabin roofracks or the
canopy roofracks.
When these roof racks are to be
used on a vehicle that is driven off
sealed roads, the manufacturer
maximum roof load rating (to be
found in the vehicles User Manual)
should be halved. Do not forget to
subtract 5kg from your maximum
carrying capacity due to the weight
of the crossbars and legs.
