When using SportRack Load carriers and accessories, the user must understand the
precautions. The points listed below will assist you in using the rack system and will
encourage safety.
•For quality fits and safety, use only the recommended rack or accessory as stated in
SportRack’s current Fit Guide. Do not assume a rack will fit, always check the current Fit
Guide when obtaining a new vehicle.
•Unless stated otherwise in these instructions, do not carry more than 59 kg (130 lbs.) on
SportRack load carriers. SportRack load carriers do not increase gutter or roof strength.
SportRack can not warranty loads that exceed this limit. Total load = cargo weight plus
weight of accessories used to carry cargo.
•Always make sure all doors are open when mounting a roof rack system. Make sure all
knobs, bolts, screws, straps, and locks are firmly attached, tightened and locked before
every trip. Knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks must be periodically inspected for
signs of wear, corrosion, and fatigue. Check your load at stops during the trip to ensure
continued fastening security.
•Check local and state laws governing projection of objects beyond the perimeter of a
vehicle. Be aware of the width and height of your cargo since low clearance branches,
bridges, and parking garages can affect the load. All cargo will affect the vehicle’s
driving behavior. Never drive with any lock, knob or rack in an open or unlocked position.
All long loads such as, but not limited to, sailboards, surfboards, kayaks, canoes, and
lumber must be tied down front and rear to the bumpers or tow hooks of the vehicle.
•Remove your SportRack rack and accessories when they are not in use and before
entering automatic car washes.
•All locks must be turned and moved periodically to ensure smooth operation. Use
graphite or dry lubricant to help this. SportRack locks are designed to deter vandalism
and theft but should not be considered theft proof. Remove valuable gear if your vehicle
is unattended for an extended period. Place at least one key in the glove compartment.
•For safety to your vehicle and rack system, obey all posted speed limits and traffic
cautions. Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and the load being carried.
•Do not use SportRack load carriers and accessories for purposes other than those for
which they were designed. Do not exceed their carrying capacity. Failure to follow these
guidelines or the product’s instructions will void the warranty.
•All loads must be secured using the provided straps.
•Consult with your SportRack dealer if you have any questions regarding the operations
and limits of SportRack products. Review all instructions and warranty information
carefully.
•Not for use on trailers or towed vehicles.
•Not for offroad use.
•Keep bicycle tires away from hot exhaust.
