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.
