ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1 & 1bis: Open the end-caps with a screwdriver, coin or key.
2: Loosen the setting bolts of the clamps and the bar.
3: Place the roof bar symmetrically onto the railings.
4: Equalize the roof bar clearances (approx. 700mm) to each other.
5: Use the setting bolt to pull the bar on the railing and tighten the screws on the
attachment clip. Then tighten all the setting screws.
6: Check the roof bar is tightly in place by pulling forwards and backwards. If
necessary, retighten the setting screws. Then replace the end-caps and lock them.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This roof bar is only suitable for cars with railings on the roof.
Please make sure you comply with the maximum permissible roof load for your
car. Fasten the load with suitable means (e.g. reliably secure using belts, lashes
or similar).
Strictly observe the assembly instructions to ensure the roof bar is assembled
properly and functions correctly!
To avoid damage to the roof of the car, two people are required to assemble and
remove the roof bar!
When assembling, ensure that the brackets do not protrude over the edge of the
car roof. Also, ensure that the clearance between the two bars should be at least
70cm, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer of your car.
Ensure that the load is distributed evenly with the lowest point of gravity and do
not exceed the maximum roof load specified by the car manufacturer.
The permitted load comprises the deadweight of the roof bar of 4,7kg and the
actual load itself up to a maximum of 75kg (unless otherwise specified by the car
manufacturer).
The luggage shouldn’t protrude over the loading surface.
When transporting long loads, also attach the front end of the load to the car
bumper. Adjust your speed accordingly when driving.
Before each journey, after a short drive and at least every 300km, check that the
roof bar is tightly in place.
Be aware that the driving properties of the car will change when the roof bar is
loaded (the effect of winds from the side, driving around curves and braking
distances).
For reasons of safety and to save fuel costs, the roof bar should be dismantled
when not needed.
Notice that your vehicle's driving behaviour changes when the load carrier is
loaded (side wind sensitivity, curves and braking). Observe the recommended
speed!
