Layout
Maximum carrying capacity: 30kg (66lbs)
Please refer to your vehicle manufacturers handbook for maximum carrying capacity of your roof racks. Always use the lower of
the two figures. Load must be evenly distributed over the crossbars.
Warning: Do not attempt to fit the S512X to your vehicle unless you fully understand this fitting instructions. Please direct any
questions regarding fitting to the dealer from where the S512X was purchased. Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or
straps.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your roof racks and S512X.
Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage,
loads and distances travelled). You should also check the roof racks and S512X each time they are re-fitted. Always make sure
to fasten your load securely. Please also ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low
as possible. Long loads (e.g. canoes and kayaks) must be secured front and rear with non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Roof racks must be removed when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Caution: The handling characteristics of the vehicle changes when you transport a load on the roof. For safety reasons we
recommend you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resistant loads. Special consideration must be taken into
account when cornering and braking.
