RHINO RACK RSWS Spare Wheel Strip

Product Information

RSWS – Rhino Spare Wheel Strap

The Rhino Spare Wheel Strap (RSWS) is designed to suit Rhino Pioneer/Alloy Tray and is intended to hold a spare wheel securely in place during transportation. The strap has a 150kg lashing capacity on the polyester webbing and must not be used for lifting. The user must always inspect the strap prior to use, protect it from friction and abrasion, and must not tie knots in the webbing. The strap should not be used if it is damaged.

The RSWS kit includes a spare wheel strap 3 way, three 1.3m straps, one fitting instruction, and an Eye Bolt Kit 43178 (not included). The assembly of the hardware is necessary to fit the strap onto the vehicle. The strap should be used only with non-stretch fastening ropes or straps, and caution should be exercised when driving off-road as the vehicle’s roof height has been increased. Dealers and fitters are responsible for ensuring that the instructions are given to the end-user or client. The handling characteristics of the vehicle change when a load is transported on the roof, and special consideration must be taken into account when negotiating corners and under braking.

Product Usage Instructions

Before installation, read the instructions carefully and check the contents of the kit.
Clean the alloy tray before installation.
Assemble the hardware as shown in the instructions using a 13mm spanner and screwdriver (for leverage). The Eye Bolt Kit 43178 (not included) is required for this step.
Lower the eye bolt assembly into the slot at the front of the plank and slide it along to the desired position. Secure the eye bolt in place by sliding a screwdriver through the eye of the bolt and rotating clockwise to tighten.
Position the tyre up against two edges and adjust two cam buckles to align the ring in the centre. Then, tighten via the ratchet.
The strap has a 150kg lashing capacity on the polyester webbing and must not be used for lifting. Always inspect the strap prior to use, protect it from friction and abrasion, and do not use if it is damaged.
Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps. Do not overload your Rhino-Rack Pioneer/Alloy Tray and roof bars. Check your vehicle’s roof carrying capacity.
Exercise caution when driving off-road as the vehicle’s roof height has been increased. The handling characteristics of the vehicle change when transporting a load on the roof. For safety reasons, we recommend exercising extreme care when transporting large wind-resisting loads, and special consideration must be taken into account when negotiating corners and under braking.
After installation is complete, place these instructions in the vehicle’s glove box for future reference.
