These instructions contain IMPORTANT safety information. Please read and keep for future reference.
NOTE: This Fit Kit instruction sheet is a supplement to the End Support instructions.
Users must read and understand all warnings and precautions before using the ROLA cross bar systems.
Installation is the end user’s responsibility and beyond Horizon Global’s control. Therefore, Horizon Global exclusively limits its Warranty to
the repair or replacement of a defective product. Damage to your vehicle, your cargo or any person or property is excluded.
• Maximum roof loads = weight of the cross bars + accessories + the weight of the load carried. Maximum load is defined by ROLA or
the Manufacturer- use which ever is lower.
Do not exceed vehicle carrying limits see owners manual or ROLA’s limits- whichever is lower. This is the weight of your
carried cargo plus the weight of the cross bars.
• Use only the ROLA recommend Rail kits and Fit Kits for your specific make, model and model year.
• To avoid vehicle paint damage, always insure the vehicle doors are open and straps fully extended down when installing
the cross bars.
• Make sure all bolts, straps, locks are tightened and locked before every trip. Check all for signs of wear and replace as
needed. Check loads periodically during trips.
• Remove your cross bars when not is use and before entering automatic car washes.
• Lower your driving speeds to less than posted speeds depending on road conditions, wind speeds and loads being carried.

WARNING
• All long loads such as (but not limited to) Canoes, Kayaks, Sailboards, Paddle
Boards and Construction materials must be tied down to the front and rear
bumpers or tow hooks. All loads must be secured with non-stretch straps.
• Cross Bars are not for off road use, use on trailers or towed vehicles.
• Be aware of the carried load width and height as these can affect car handling,
parking garage use or other vehicle height restrictions. Users are responsible for
understanding and obeying government laws where they drive.
• Do NOT use ROLA cross bars and accessories for purposes other than what they
are intended for or exceeding stated load limits. Failure to do so will voidall
warranties.
• All ROLA locks should be turned and lubricated periodically. Locks are intended
to deter theft but are not theft proof, please remove valuable gear if left
unattended. Place a spare key in the glovebox or some secure area.
• Check and replace worn out or defecive parts.
• The load carrier should always be cleaned and maintained, especially in
the winter.
• Screws, nuts and locks (if fitted) should be lubricated at regular intervals.
• When not in use, the product should be removed from the vehicle.
• When the product is removed from the vehicle, all loose parts should be
stored safely.
• Road speed should always be adjusted to suit the load being carried and the
current driving conditions such as road type and quality, wind conditions, traffic
intensity and applicable speed limits.
• Note that the vehicle’s total height increases when upright loads are carried.
• The vehicle’s driving characteristics and braking behavior change and it’s
vulnerability to side winds increases when a load is carried on the roof.
• Products fitted with a lock should always be locked during transport.

PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY
• Check that all required parts are present before assembly by checking all the assembly instructions.
• Check that the vehicle’s roof surface and product parts are clean.
• Check and follow the proper assembly sequence steps.
• Check to use the proper defined distance between cross bars. If not defined use a minimum of 27.5” or 700mm, when carrying long
loads the cross bars should not be less than 23.5” or 600mm
• Check the cross bar is firmly attached on every use. Push and tug the bars and attaching straps, if any movement is noted secure
the unit more firmly. Test this regularly.
• Some sunroofs cannot be opened when cross bars are installed.
• Some radio antenna’s may be required to be removed with cross bars installed.
• No product modifications are allowed- this will void all warranties.
• Check that the maximum load is not exceeded. Use the ROLA load limit or the vehicle’s load limit- which ever is lower. Max. roof
load = Cross bar weight + Accessory carrier + Load carried.
• Check the loading does not exceed the carrier’s width and loads a spread evenly and to the lowest point possible.
• Surfboards should be loaded on top of each other not side by side and all long loads secured to the vehicle both front and rear.
• Ski and snowboards should be carried with the tips facing rearwards.
• Cross bars should not extend past sideview mirrors.
• When carrying longer gear on cross bars, make sure there is sufficient room to open rear hatch.
