Our rack is produced with the greatest care and is guaranteed against any fault in materials and workmanship. The purchaser acknowledges that the manufacturer has no control over the attachment of its products to vehicles or the attachment of items to the manufacturer products. Accordingly the manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for any damage to any property arising out of the improper attachment or use of its products. Read and follow assembly and mounting instructions carefully before using products. Racks must be absolutely tight on the car roof. Check the security of fitment after ten miles and then every 100 miles. Always check that brackets are fully engaged on each side of your car under a strong metal part of the bodywork (this is most important especially in the case of cars with only two or three doors. Check vehicle manufacturer's handbook for maximum roof loading recommendations. 75 kg evenly distributed between front and rear bars is usually the maximum allowed weight.
Dedicated accessories are designed for some loads (for instance skis or cycle carriers) it is advised to use them whenever available. Adapt your travelling speed to the load being carried. Bulky loads (such a windsurf boards, wood panels, bed frames, etc.) create significant wind drag, this requires special attention:
Remove when not in use to save fuel consumption
Secure long loads to two fixed points of the vehicle, front and rear.
Remember the additional height when driving in restricted areas
We do not recommend the use ofroof top tents or awnings with these roof bars
For vehicles with low roof rails or curved roofs fit the levers on the outside of the roof rails
We do not recommend the use of roof top tents or awnings with these roof bars
ALWAYS REMOVE THE ROOF BARS IF YOU INTEND TO DRIVE THROUGH A CAR WASH!
MAXIMUM LOAD FOR THE ROOF BARS COMBINED IS 60KG, DO NOT EXCEED THIS LIMIT! It is ESSENTIAL that this weight is distributed evenly over both bars. Please refer to the vehicle operation manual for any special requirements for using roof bars. Use an adequate number of quality tie down straps to secure your load (elasticated ropes should be avoided). In case of long loads secure the ends of the load with non-elastic rope to the vehicle bumpers, do not exceed 55mph.
PLEASE LOOK AFTER YOUR TWO KEYS AS SPARE KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. Always take extra care when fitting to a vehicle with a glass sunroof!
