FITTING OF CROSS BARS TO VEHICLE
4 Open the vehicle doors. Under the door return you will find Strap
locating indents (Flatened section in sheet metal- see Fig 3). Place
the rubber pads on the vehicle roof above the location indents (Fig
3). The position of the pads are indicated by the moulding marks on
the bottom of the pads (Fig 4) as viewed in the driving position.

5 Place the Front and Rear Locking Straps centrally in the location
indents (Refer to Fig 3). Push the cage nut on the upper end of the
strap into the well of respected pad. Push inboard until the strap is
fully engaged around the door return and the Rubber Pad nestles into
the longitudinal features of the roof panel. Carefully close the doors
to hold the Straps in place until fitment is complete. In the rear
position you may need assitance to hold the straps while the rack is
applied.
6 Sit the Cross Bar assemblies onto the Rubber Pads. Loosely fit the
Special Bolt through the end support and into the locking strap. Give
two to three turns of the Special Bolt in the Locking Strap with the
Security Key provided. Go to the other side of the vehicle and pull on
the End support and fit the same. This will allow correct alignment of
locking strap and Special bolt thread (Fig 5).
7 Gradually tighten bolts alternately ensuring Locking Straps are
properly engaged, until even tensioning is achieved.
PLEASE NOTE: When tightening bolts, particular attention should be
paid to the gap between the horizontal face of Strap and underside of
End Support. A gap of approximately 3mm should
be left (Fig.6). Overtightening of the bolts may result in roof damage

ASSEMBLY OF CROSS BARS
1 Ensure that the roof is clean; free from dust and grease.
2 Pre-assemble End Supports into Cross Bars. They are designed
to be a tight fit: use a rubber mallet if necessary (Fig.1).
3 Push the rubber Buffer Strip back about 20mm until the screw
hole appears (Fig.2). Fit Screw and tighten. Replace Buffer Strip.
NOTE: The Longer Cross Bar assembly is fitted to the Front of the
vehicle-check the labelling on the underside of the Cross Bars.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Loads should be evenly distributed and secured. A number of
accessories for carrying special loads is available, otherwise only
use NON-STRETCH tie down straps.
Any weight carried on the vehicle will adversely affect its handling
particularly in cornering or in a cross wind and the vehicle should
therefore be driven with increased caution.
