They are designed to be a tight t: use a rubber mallet if necessary (Fig.4)

FITTING OF LOWER STRAPS TO VEHICLE
1. Open all doors and mark the distances indicated in Fig.1 on the inside vehicle
door return with a felt pen. This will be the centre of the bottom strap.
2. Pull the lower weather seal away from the vehicle to reveal the bottom ange
on the vehicle. Below the mark made in section one apply sealant* 30mm from
either side of the mark. (This should leave approximately 15mm of sealant
visible on either side of the Lower Strap when tted) Fig.2.
3. Place the Lower Strap on the lower ange as shown in Fig.2. Apply Sealant to
back of the Strap as shown.
4. Before replacing lower weather seal, apply 60mm of silicon inside the lip of
the seal and press back together (Fig. 3).
5. Replace the lower weather seal (Hold Lower Strap in place while doing this).
Use a damp rag to remove any excess silicon.
6. Ensure that sealant is visible between the vehicle ange and weather seal on
either side of the Strap when the lower weather strip is replaced.
7. Repeat for all four (4) straps ensuring that each strap is 100% sealed against
the vehicle and weather strip.
8. Refer to next page for tment of crossbars. Assemble and t Cross Bars
immediately before sealant cures.
*SEALANT - ONLY use Neutal Cure Silicon
sealant, do NOT use Co-Polymer or Acetic Cure
Silicon. You will require no more than 50g to
complete the assembly
PLEASE NOTE WHEN THE LOWER STRAP

FITTING CROSS-BARS TO VEHICLE
12. Open all four vehicle doors. Hook the upper strap on to the already
mounted lower strap (Refer to previous page of this tting instruction) with
the cage nut facing inwards (Fig.6). Place the rubber mount pads onto the roof
of the vehicle and tuck under each strap - the pointier end of the mount pad
must face towards the front of the vehicle (Fig.7). Gently close the doors to
temporarily hold the upper straps in place while tting the crossbar assem-
blies.
- Do not to ex the brackets forcefully as to prevent
permanently deforming the strap bracket prole.
- Please be careful as not to stratch/damage the paint when
installing the strap brackets.
13. Place the crossbar onto the mount pads with the sloping face of the End
Supports facing towards the front of the vehicle. Loosely t the bolt (with
washer) through the End Support (Fig.7) and into the strap cage nut. Give the
bolts 3 or 4 turns with the security key provided. Go to the other side of the
vehicle and pull on the End Support and t the same. This will allow correct
alignment of the strap and bolt thread.
14. Tighten the Strap Brackets via the Security Bolts whilst pushing the straps
hard up against the vehicle body. Alternate sides whilst tightening for even
retention across both sides.
Note: Leave a gap of approximately 3 to 5mm between the bottom of End
Support and the top of the Strap bracket(Fig. 9). Over-tightening the bolts
may result in damage to your vehicle and/or roof-rack.
15. Proceed to follow steps 13 and 14 when mounting the Rear Cross-bar Assy.
16. 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. 8)

General Usage Information
Warnings
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
tting, care and usage instruction carefully.
The maximum permissible load for your Roof Bar is the lower of the maximum
load capacity specied in your vehicle operation manual, or specied as
applying to the Roof-Rack. Do not exceed the maximum specied load capacity.
Maximum permissible load = weight of the Roof Rack + weight of accessories +
weight of load (cargo).
When tting 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 tting 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 o-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 conse-
quential, incidental, direct or indirect loss, damage or costs incurred of suered
by the purchaser or any other person including but not limited to damage to
persons or property, loss of turnover, loss of prots, 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 tting and care instructions.
