Rhino-Rack SX100 User manual

SX100
Max: Up to 100kg (220lbs).*Refer to vehicle owners manual for vehicle specific maximum roof loading. Always
use lower of the two figures.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your crossbars. Bolt connec-
tions 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 refitted. 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. Please remove cross-
bars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Load Ratings:
Maximum permissible load is 100kg (220lbs) for two cross bars including the weight of the cross bars, 5kg (11lbs). When cross-
bars are to be used in off-road conditions, please build a safety factor of 1.5 into this load limit for off-road use (66kg / 145lbs),
include two crossbars = 5kg 11lbs. Although the crossbars are tested and approved toAS1235-2000/ 15011154, Off road condi-
tions can be much more rigorous. However, increasing the number of crossbars does not increase the vehicles maximum permis-
sible roof loading.
Note for Dealers and Fitters:
It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.

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 fixed at points on
both the cabin and canopy. Instead, rigidly fix 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 maximum load rating
must be divided by 1.5.
Remember to subtract the
weight of the roof racks to
determine your maximum
permissible load capacity.
