A.0 SECURITY REGULATIONS
A.1 Check at regular intervals (depending
on the state of the roads) both before
and during each journey that the roof
box is firmly fixed to the roof rack, the
load adequately secured, the roof box
locked and the key removed from the
lock.
A.2 Make sure the roof box is closed and
locked and the key removed from the
lock before driving off.
A.3 If left unsupervised, check all locks, load
and fixation of the box to make sure it
is in the correct condition.
A.4 Inadequately secured loads and
incorrectly mounted roof racks and roof
boxes can come loose during a journey
and cause serious accidents!
A.5 Ensure you give due consideration
to the change in height and drive
behaviour (side-wind sensitivity,
corner and braking behaviour) of the
given vehicle when a roof rack and/
or roof box is/are mounted and, above
all, loaded. No further loads may be
attached to the exterior of the roof box.
A.6 The total permissible laden weight
of the given motor vehicle may not
be exceeded. The instructions of the
motor vehicle manufacturer in respect
of the maximum roof weight must be
observed.
A.7 Calculation of allowed roof load:
Weight of roof rack
+ weight of roof box
+ weight of payload
= available roof load
A.8 The vehicle's speed must always be
adjusted to the load being carried
and the current driving conditions,
such as the road type, road quality,
wind conditions, traffic intensity and
applicable speed limits, but must under
no circumstances exceed 130 km/h.
Applicable speed limits and other traffic
regulations must always be observed.
A.9 The roof box should be carefully cleaned
and maintained, particularly during the
winter months. For this purpose, only
use a solution of water and standard
household washing liquid without any
alcohol, bleach or ammonium additives
as otherwise the surface of the roof
box could suffer damage. Please do
not use any standard cockpit sprays for
cleaning the roof box. The locks should
be lubricated with spray lubricant (no
2
lubricant should be allowed to come
into contact with the plastic surface of
the roof box).
B.0 PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING WHEN
USING THE ROOF BOX:
B.1 The height of the given vehicle can
increase by up to 700 mm (depending
on the roof rack used)
B.2 Beware of low garage entrances, low
clearances in general, low-hanging
branches, etc!
B.3 Wind noise may be generated.
B.4 When using an automatic car-wash
facility, the roof box and roof rack must
first be removed.
B.5 In addition to these usage instructions,
due consideration should also be given
to mounting instructions for the given
roof rack and the operating instructions
of the given vehicle!
B.6 For reasons of fuel economy and the
safety of other road users, the roof box
and roof rack should be removed when
not in use.
B.7 For your own safety, you should
only use tested (e.g. GS-tested) roof
racks that are authorised for usage
in conjunction with your vehicle.
B.8 The roof box must be mounted with the
front facing the driving direction.
B.9 In order to avoid generating excessive
lifting forces, the roof box must be
mounted parallel to the line of the road
and not at an angle.
B.10 If no special fitting positions are
given in the assembly instructions,
try to maintain a minimum distance
of 700 mm between the load carrier
bars. Please note that changes (e.g.
additional drill holes) to the roof box
fixation system are not permissible.
C.0 MAINTENANCE
C.1 These usage instructions should be
kept together with the given vehicle's
operating instructions and carried in
the vehicle when in use and en route.
Any changes made to the mounting
sets and roof box as well as the use of
spare parts or accessories other than
those supplied by the manufacturer will
lead to the manufacturer's warranty
and liability for any material damage or
accidents lapsing! You should therefore
observe these usage instructions to the
