Important information:

- Loads which overhang shall conform to any relevant state laws.

- Do not use elastic straps to secure a load.
- Specialised equipment carriers for specic products should always be used. I.e Ladder rack.
Note: The handling characteristics of a vehicle will change when a carrier system is tted. Driving techniques should be altered to allow for these changes,
reducing speed, cornering and allowing longer braking distances.
- Roof bars can be removed when not in use.
- Store spare ladder lock key in a safe place.
- Always store lock in housing to avoid damage to vehicle.
