FITTING ROOF BARS

1 - SAFETY

These bars are designed to be fitted at a precise location on the vehicle; attachment to the vehicle is not guaranteed if the positioning differs from that shown in these instructions .

It is essential that the fastening bolts must be re-tightened, and the lashing straps checked, after driving a few miles .

Lashing luggage with elastic means (bungee, tensioner, etc.) is forbidden, straps are recommended .

The metal securing brackets have been given a special treatment to protect the paintwork of your vehicle; this treatment was the subject of very thorough research .

Do not fit any additional packing (rubber, plastic or anything else) between the securing brackets and the bodywork, or the bars may not be properly secured .

Take into account the new behaviour of the vehicle (side winds, bends and braking) when the bars are loaded .

Non-compliance with these instructions absolves the manufacturer from any responsibility .

WARNING : these bars are designed to carry 50 kg evenly distributed .
