the carrier out of its locked position. Try also to pull out the tensioning tabs from the roof edge. f you manage
to move any part of the unit, the load carrier must be secured more firmly. This test should be carried out
regularly.

lower maximum recommended load that applies. Max. roof load= load carrier weight + any fitted carrier
accessories + the weight of the load itself.
02.The load may not significantly exceed the load carrier's width, and it should always be spread evenly
across the load carrier and with the lowest possible centre of gravity.
03. Maximum load applies to driving as well as parked vehicle.
04.When several surfboards are being carried, they should not be placed beside each other but instead one
on top of the other.
05.When carrying surfboards and other long items, these shall be secured both at the front and the rear of
