STEP 3: Placement of Under Cover

A. Push Locking Mechanism Handle back into the End

Support and secure by turning the locking device.

Measure the space under the bars in front of and

behind the End Supports. Using scissors cut the Under

Cover strips to each measured length (Fig 3a) and push

the under cover into the channel by inserting one side

first and then push the other side into place making sure

that it sits flat when properly installed.

Note: Installing the Under Covers is optional but will reduce

potential wind noise.

Check Fit is secure by grabbing the Cross Bar and

applying forces in upwards and sideways motions. If any

movement occurs repeat steps 2b & 2c while also

further tightening the Handle. Visually check to see that

the Locking Jaw is firmly pressed against the vehicles

side rails on all four End Supports (Fig 3a).

Note: If a Security Lock Kit is to be added please refer to our

Lock Kit’s instructions for installation instructions. It is

advised to record the key combination so replacement

keys can be ordered in case of misplacement or loss.

C. Be sure the distance between the cross bars front to

back is at least 700.0mm (27 ½”) Fig 2c.

D. Turn the locking handle in a clockwise direction to

tighten the end support to the vehicles side rails (Fig

2d). The handle must be firmly turned (Equivalent to

5Nm or 44 in/ lbs) to achieve a positive and tight fit.

Always turn the handle clockwise until horizontal to

align the lock with the internal locking position. At the

same time the locking jaw is tightened the end support

will clamp the cross bar into position. Repeat this

procedure on all end supports.

Note: To release the cross bar from the vehicle side rails

simply rotate the locking mechanism handle counter-

clockwise. Additional movement of the locking jaw with

your hand will assist the release of the end support.

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. Check the function of all doors and sunroof before driving. For lost key replacement or other service items call customer service:

Please have lock core number or part numbers available.

REGULARLY CHECK THE TIGHTNESS OF LOCKING JAWS.
Loads should be evenly distributed and secured

.

Ensure bars are parallel and jaws are tightened against the side rails.

Perform a check by tugging on the cross bars.

A number of accessories for carrying special loads are available. Only use NON-STRETCH tie down straps.
