Important Information
Maximum carrying capacity:

maximum carrying capacity. Always use the lower of the two gures. Load must be evenly distributed over the crossbars.
Locks are only a deterrent. Please exercise care when protecting your items from theft.
Recommendations:
All bolt connections must be checked after driving a short distance when you rst install your roof racks. Bolt connections
should be checked again at regular intervals (every 1000km or depending on road conditions, usage, loads and distances
travelled). You should also check the condition of your roof racks each time they are re-tted. Always make sure to fasten your
load securely. Please also ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible.
Remove any wind resisting loads before travelling. Remove kids bike seats
Roof racks must be removed when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Caution: The handling characteristics of the vehicle changes when you transport a load on the roof. For safety reasons we rec-
ommend you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resistant loads. Special consideration must be taken into account
when cornering and braking. Please remove bike rack when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.

Loading a bicycle:
Unthread the Quick Release Skewer, and install into the head by threading together inside. Handle faces
towards the outside of the car. Re-install the cover plate. If locks have been purchased or provided, the cover
can now be locked.
Open the handle of the quick release so the black handle is straight and the xed end points down. Load
the fork onto the quick release so both fork ends are resting straight on the quick release.
Twist handle clockwise to tighten the quick release skewer. Close the handle by ipping it 90 degrees to the
closed position. If it is too loose, open the handle and turn it like a screwdriver (clockwise to tighten, counter
clockwise to loosen), and close the handle again. Re-adjust until a rm and positive snap is felt when closed.
If locks have been purchased or provided, the cover can now be locked.

Fasten the Wheel Strap by looping the end through the wheel and into the buckle. Ensure that the strap is
centre aligned with the centre of the wheel. Pull on the end until the strap rmly contacts the wheel.
The Quick Release Skewer is not an on/off switch. You must close the handle with enough tension to hold
the bicycle. Rock the bicycle side to side to ensure proper mounting. The fork should be properly seated and
not move. If unsure, please consult your dealer or Rhino-Rack. Failure to comply could result in the bicycle
detaching with subsequent damage to the bicycle, vehicle, or other motorist
Can be used on driver or passenger side
