FITTING
• Check with the assembly instructions that
all the necessary parts are present.
• Go through and carefully follow the as-
sembly instructions and the recommenda-
tion list, if one is included. Then fit the unit
in the correct sequence, that is to say 1, 2, 3
and so on.
• If no special fitting positions are given in
the assembly instructions, try to maintain a
minimum distance of 600 mm between the
load carrier bars.
• Check bike carrier bars each time you set
it up, they must be securely clamped on the
roof. If any part of the bike carrier appears
to be moving, clamp it firmly. Check the sy-
stem regularly.
• Some sunroofs and radio antennas cannot
be used while the bike carrier is mounted.
• No modifications to the product are per-
mitted.
LOADING
• The maximum load specified in the as-
sembly instructions is not to be exceeded.
However, this limit is always subordinate
to the maximum load recommended by
the manufacturer of the car itself. It is
always the lower maximum recommen-
ded load that applies.
MAX. ROOF LOAD =
LOAD CARRIER WEIGHT + ANy FITTED
CARRIER ACCESSORIES + THE WEIGHT
OF THE LOAD ITSELF
• Put aside children's bicycle seats, tire
pumps and other removable elements be-
fore mounting the bike carrier.
• The load's security should be checked
after a short distance, and thereafter at
suitable intervals.
NOTE! Always check the load's attachment
security.

creases when upright loads are carried.
• The vehicle's driving characteristics and
braking behaviour change and its vulne-
