Thule Spirit 780 Instrucciones De Montaje página 5

Important information
Check at regular intervals (depending on the
state of roads) both before and during each
journey that the roofbox is firmly fixed to the roof
rack, the load adequately secured , the roofbox
locked and the key removed from the lock.
Inadequately secured loads and incorrectly
mounted roof racks and roof boxes can come loose
during a journey and cause serious accidents!
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 roofbox is/are mounted
and, above all, loaded. No further loads may be
attached to the outside of the roof box.
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.
Calculation of available roof load:
Weight of roof rack
+ weight of roofbox
+ weight of payload
= available roof load
Unladen weight of roofboxes:
Spirit 780 = 24 kg
Spirit 820 = 26 kg
The speed driven must be suited to the load to
be transported and, of course, to all relevant
official speed limits! In the absence of any
speed limits to the contrary, we recommend
a max. speed of 130 km/h. When transporting
any type of load, the speed of the given vehicle
must however take into account all prevailing
conditions such as the state of the road, the
surface of the road, traffic conditions, wind, etc.!
The roofbox should be carefully cleaned and
maintained, particularly during the winter
months. For this purpose, only use a solution of
water and standard washing-up liquid without
any alcohol, bleach or ammonium additives as
otherwise the surface of the roofbox could suffer
damage. Please do not use any standard cockpit
sprays for cleaning the roofbox. The locks should
be lubricated with spray lubricant (no lubricant
should be allowed to come into contact with the
plastic surface of the roofbox).
Please note the following when using the
roofbox:
- The height of the given vehicle can increase by
up to 60 cm (depending on the roof rack used)
- Beware of low garage entrances, low clearances
in general, low-hanging branches, etc!
- Wind noise may be generated.
- When using an automatic car-wash facility, the
roofbox and roof rack must first be removed.
- 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!
- For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of
other road users, the roofbox and roof rack
should be removed when not in use.
- 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.
- In order to avoid generating excessive lifting
forces, the roofbox should be mounted parallel
to the line of the road and not at an angle.
- In the absence of any instructions from the
vehicle manufacturer to the contrary and
in compliance with the vehicle specifics, the
distance between the rack's transverse struts
should be as large as possible but still within
the setting range of the adjustable Thule Power-
Grip® quick-fit mounting system. Please note
that changes (e.g. additional drill holes) to the
roofbox's fixing system are not permissible.
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
roofbox 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! Y ou should therefore observe
these usage instructions to the letter and only
use the original parts supplied. In the event of
you losing parts or parts wearing out, you should
only replace them with original spare parts that
can be obtained from a specialist stockist or the
manufacturer.
To assure the rapid provision of spare parts and
avoid any time-consuming queries, we would ask
you to indicate the so-called „BA No." whenever
you order spare parts or have a query. This „BA
No." can be found on a sticker located inside the
roofbox top.
In order to ensure that you are able to replace
any lost or defective keys as quickly as possible,
we would advise you to note down the lock and
key numbers.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage
or accident that may occur as a result of non-
compliance with these usage instructions,
changes made to parts or usage of any parts
other than the manufacturer's original parts!
