ASSEMBLY OF CROSS-BARS
1. Ensure the roof is clean, free from dust and grease.
2. Insert the neck of the End-Support into the void of the Cross-bar prole.
They are designed to be a tight t: use a rubber mallet if necessary (Fig.1)
3. Pull back the rubber Buer Strip about 20mm until the screw hole can be
accessed.(Fig. 2) Using a Phillips Head Screwdriver, fasten the screw through
the cross-bar and into the End Support.
Do this for all four sides and replace the buer strip.
NOTE: The longer cross-bars are to be tted to the front of the vehicle. Check
labelling on the underside of the cross-bar.

FITTING CROSS-BARS TO VEHICLE
4. Open all vehicle door. Under the weather seal you will nd anchor points in
the positions shown (Fig.3). Pull the weather seal away from the vehicle until
the locking strap is able to t over the most rearward anchor point at each
location. Replace the weather seal in its original position.
5. Position the rubber pads under the locking straps so that the pointier end
faces towards the front of the vehicle. Place the appropriate cross bar
assemblies onto the rubber pads.
6. Loosely t the special bolt with washer through the end support and into
the locking strap. Give two to three turns of the special bolt in the locking
strap with the security key provided. Go to the other side of the vehicle and
pull on the end support and t in the same way. This will allow for correct
alignment of the locking strap and special bolt thread (Fig.4).
7. Gradually tighten the bolts alternately ensuring the locking straps are
properly engaged, until an even tensioning is achieved.
PLEASE NOTE: When tightening bolts, particular attention should be paid to
the gap between the horizontal face of the strap and the underside of the end
support. A gap of approximately 3 to 5mm should be left (Fig.6). Overtighten-
ing of the bolts may result in roof damage.
8. Proceed to follow steps 5 to 7 when mounting the Rear Cross-bar Assy.
9. You are now ready to mount your “Accessories”set onto the cross-bars using
the Global Mount Channel. Once installed, insert the ‘Global Channel’ Covers
into the End Supports.
Note: You have a choice of 2 - (a) quick access snap-on cover or (b) long term
mounting - security cover to cap o and lock the mount channel. (Fig.5)

APPENDICES & ADDITIONAL ‘FITMENT SPECIFIC’ FITTING STEPS - IF REQUIRED
INSERTING COVERS
This area has been intentionally left blank.
It is essential for the proper assembly, operation and use of the Roof Rack that the instructions and safety precautions
supplied are strictly observed. Read any fitting, care and usage instruction carefully.
The maximum permissible load for your Roof Bar is the lower of the maximum load capacity specified in your vehicle opera-
tion manual, or specified as applying to the Roof-Rack. Do not exceed the maximum specified load capacity.
Maximum permissible load = weight of the Roof Rack + weight of accessories + weight of load (cargo).
When fitting the Roof-Rack and transporting a load, ensure the vehicle’s functions are not impaired (eg, sunroof, aerials,
windscreen wipers, mirrors). Rear doors on Hatch- and Wagon-type vehicles should be inspected for adequate clearance for
full opening operation of the boot/tailgate.
Stop and check all screw connections, bolts and retaining straps after a short distance of travel. Repeat these checks at regular
intervals.
Remember that the fitting of a Roof Rack and the transport of a load increases the overall height of the carrying vehicle.
Where the Roof-Rack is to be used in off-road conditions, a safety weight reduction of 1.5 should be observed from the total
carrying capacity. (eg. 60kg becomes 40kg)
Cequent will not be liable to the purchaser or any other person for any consequential, incidental, direct or indirect loss,
damage or costs incurred of suffered by the purchaser or any other person including but not limited to damage to persons or
property, loss of turnover, loss of profits, loss of business or goodwill, arising from or in relation to the assembly and use of the
Roof rack, or the non-observance of the fitting and care instructions.
