RULES OF THE ROAD

Avoid:

1. Overloading
   
2. Bad roads
   
3. Quick acceleration
   
4. Heavy Braking
   
5. Uneven loading
   
6. Improperly fastened loads
   
7. Oversized loads

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 on poor surfaces or twisting roads. 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.

• Take into consideration the weight of the bars (8 kg) (e.g. vehicle max roof load, 75 kg - capacity 75 - 8 = 67 kg)
• Never exceed vehicle max; roof loading capacity, also take into consideration further loading on bars (e.g. cycle carrier 3 kg + cycle 10 kg). 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:
  • Use only top quality straps (tie down systems or load straps) bungee cords must be avoided
  • Use an adequate number of straps on the rack
  • In case of long loads, tie down front end of the load to bumper
  • Do not drive over 55 mph. Keep these instructions for future use.

Remove when not in use to save fuel consumption

Secure long load to a fixed point of the vehicle

Remember the additional height when driving in restricted areas

Avoid any overhanging of the vehicle
