NOTE:
It is important that the screws are left loose until
both sides of the crossbar are secured to the rail.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for the second crossbar in the
desired position.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Anything improperly secured to the roof rack,
crossbars, or the roof itself can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, resulting in collisions,
personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof
rack cautions when carrying anything on your roof or
roof rack.
CAUTION!
•
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO
NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars installed. The load should be secured
and placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on
the roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the
roof, place a blanket or other protective layer
between the load and the roof surface.
•
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do
not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of
150 lb (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as
evenly as possible and appropriately secure the
load and any protective layer placed between the
load and the roof surface.
•
Load should always be secured to crossbars first,
with tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supple-
mentary tie down points only. Do not use ratchet-
ing mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the
straps and thumb wheels frequently to be sure
that the load remains securely attached.
•
Long loads that extend over the windshield, such
as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to both the front
and rear of the vehicle.
•
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners care-
fully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby
truck traffic, can add sudden upward lift to a load.
This is especially true on large flat loads and may
result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
REMOVING THE CROSSBARS
To remove the crossbars, refer to the following
procedure:
1. Using the provided Torx wrench, loosen the Torx
head bolts on the stanchion. Do this on both ends of
the crossbar.
2. Using the provided wrench, remove the bolts that
secure the crossbar to the roof rail. Repeat this on
the other end of the crossbar.
