Installation Notes:
• Fit the roof bars according to the instructions only. Do not
assemble or use this product unless you have understood the
fitting instructions. Check with the instruction manual that all the
necessary parts are included.
• Check and make sure that all fastening parts are fixed securely.
Please check also that the load is fastened properly by pushing
and pulling it. Recheck regularly.
Important Safety Notes:
• Please retain these instructions safely with your car owners
manual, for future reference.
• The maximum permissible load evenly distributed over the full
width of the bar with a low centre of gravity is 75kg (including
the weight of the bars, 4kg). Check the vehicle handbook for
fixing location for the roof bar and the maximum permitted load.
The maximum permitted roof load must be the lowest quoted
figure. And if the vehicle hand book states a maximum of less than
75kg, then that is the maximum permissible load. Even if the
vehicle handbook states a maximum of 120kg, the maximum
permissible load for these roofbars is 75kg.
• It is your responsibility to ensure that all loads are correctly and
safely secured using suitable fixing methods (e.g. strong webbing
straps with buckles). Where specialised accessories are available,
they should be used (e.g. Cycle Carriers, Ski Holders, etc). If small
heavy loads are being carried, load to one side of the bar, not the
middle. Never attach loads to roof bars using bungee cords or
elasticated straps.
• Before driving and at regular intervals during your journey, check
that all securing screws, clamping devices and foot attachments
are fully tightened, in accordance with these instructions.
Additionally ensure the load is fastened correctly.
• After covering a short distance, all securing devices of both the
load and the load carrier must be checked and tightened as
required. This must be done at suitable intervals, depending on the
nature of the road.
• To prevent damage or discolouration to the paint under the foot
pack rubber, we recommend the cleaning of the load bar feet and
the vehicle roof prior to fitment. The load bar should be removed at
regular intervals to repeat this process.
• Neither the roof bars nor load must project beyond the maximum
profile of the vehicle.
• Take care not to drive into low places such as garages or multi-
storey carparks when carrying a high load, particularly cycles.
Do not drive through an automatic car wash with the load carrier
mounted on the vehicle. When carrying long loads take care
when opening the boot to not hit the boot lid onto the load.

• Please note that some antennas and sunroofs can interfere with the
roof bars or accessory when installed and should not be
used, if so.
• Follow the instructions thoroughly and do not jump ahead in the
sequence (1,2,3, A,B,C... etc).
• Using the bars, especially when carrying a load, will affect the
driving and braking characteristics of your car. Larger roof loads may
also affect your car's sensitivity to cross winds. For safety reasons,
the vehicle must not be driven at maximum speeds.
Speed should be matched to the load being transported, to prevailing
conditions including the state of the road, the quality
of the road surface, the volume of traffic, etc., and of course any
speed restrictions in force. Where there are no restrictions in force,
we recommend a maximum speed of 65 mph, but the vehicle speed
when transporting a load of any kind must be
matched to the prevailing conditions.
• Surfboards, boats and large flat objects may produce damaging
aerodynamic forces to the vehicle, out of all proportion to their
dead weight. We therefore recommend travelling at much
reduced speed when carrying these articles. Where two or
more surfboards are carried (or similar items which may
produce lifting forces) they should not be carried side by
side, but should be stacked one upon the other. They should
be secured independently to the front and rear of the vehicle
using strap or methods which are capable of withstanding
the lifting forces.
• When carrying kayaks or canoes ensure that they are
secured to the bars and also the front and rear of the vehicle
in the upright position.
• The roof bars must be kept clean and properly maintained,
particularly during the winter months when dirt and salt must be
removed. Bolts, screws and nuts should be lubricated at suitable
intervals, the periodic use of a spray lubricant will keep any lock
barrels working freely.
• Always fit the roof bars in accordance with these instructions.
The spacing between the front and rear bars must never be less
than 700 mm, except where the vehicle mountings determine
the spacing.
IMPORTANT: This load carrier is especially designed for your
car model. Please therefore check which type of load carrier is needed
when changing your car. Do not use spare parts from other products.
Do not put the car through an automatic car wash when the load
carrier is mounted. The manufacturer takes no responsibility for
damage caused by an incorrectly fitted load carrier.
