INSTRUCTION
EN IMPORTANT WARNINGS
Rack Installation
Inadequately secured loads and incorrectly mounted roof racks and accessory racks
can come loose during travel and cause serious accidents! Therefore, installation,
handling and use must be carried out in accordance with product and vehicle
instructions.
In addition to these instructions, review the mounting instructions for the roof rack and
the operating instructions of the vehicle.
These instructions should be kept together with the vehicle's operating instructions and
carried in the vehicle when in use and en route.
For your own safety, you should only use roof racks that are authorized for use with your
vehicle.
For roof racks that do not specify the distance between the front and rear crossbars, the
distance shall be at least 700 mm or as large as possible. Please note that changes (e.g.
additional drill holes) to the accessory rack's attachment system are not permissible.
Check attachment hardware and load for tight fit and function:
•
Before the start of any journey.
•
After driving a short distance following rack or load install.
•
At regular intervals on longer journeys.
•
More frequently on rough terrain.
•
After interruption of a journey during which the vehicle was left unsupervised
(check for damage due to outside intervention).
Rack Loading
Do not exceed the maximum load specified for the roof rack, accessory rack or the
maximum load recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Max Roof Load = weight of roof rack + weight of accessory racks + weight of load.
Load shall be uniformly distributed with the lowest possible center of gravity.
Load should not substantially extend beyond the loading surface of the roof rack.
Boat Loading and Longer Loads
Use all provided straps to secure the boat in accordance with the instructions.
Bow and stern tiedown lines must be used!
Vehicle Driving and Regulations
The speed driven must be suited to the load transported and to official speed limits. In
the absence of any speed limits, we recommend a maximum speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).
When transporting any load, the speed of the vehicle must take into account all
conditions such as the state of the road, the surface of the road, traffic conditions, wind,
etc. Vehicle handling, cornering, braking and sensitivity to side winds will change with
the addition of roof top loads.
Off-road driving is not permitted and could result in damage to your vehicle or your gear.
Maintenance
The accessory rack should be carefully cleaned and maintained, particularly during the
winter months. Use only a solution of water and standard car wash liquid without any
alcohol, bleach or ammonium additives.
For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of other road users, the accessory rack and
roof rack should be removed when not in use.
Periodically inspect accessory rack for damage. Replace lost, damaged or worn
parts. Use only original spare parts obtained from a stocking specialist, dealer or
manufacturer.
Any changes made to the roof racks and accessory racks as well as the use of spare
parts or accessories other than those supplied by the manufacturer will lead to
the lapsing of the manufacturer's warranty and liability for any material damage or
accidents. You should observe these instructions to the letter and only use the original
parts supplied.
In order to replace any lost or defective keys, note the lock and key numbers below and
register them at www.yakima.com.
