FRONT CROSSBAR SETUP

1. REMOVE THE OUTER COVERS.
   Grasp the cover and pull straight out to remove it.

2. LOOSEN THE WIDTH ADJUSTMENT BOLT.
   Using the torque wrench, loosen the width adjustment bolt on both towers enough to allow the towers to slide on the crossbar

4. OPEN THE LOCKING COVER.
   Using a screwdriver or a coin, unlock the locking cover and open it.

5. PLACE THE CROSSBAR ONTO YOUR LANDING PADS.

   • A. Use the icon embossed on the locking covers to orientate your crossbar to face the correct direction.
   • B. With the covers still open, carefully lower one end of the front crossbar into the front pre-installed Landing Pad on your vehicle.
   • C. Slide the tower in or out as necessary to align it with the landing pad on the other side of the vehicle.
   • D. Lower the crossbar onto the other Landing Pad until it is fully seated.

6. CENTER YOUR CROSSBAR.
   Using a tape measure, center the crossbar by measuring an equal distance from the center of the slot to the edge of both towers.

7. SET THE PITCH TO LEVEL THE CROSSBAR.
   If the crossbar is not level with the ground, there are 3 pitch settings available. To adjust the pitch:

   • A. Loosen the pitch bolt on both towers.

10. LOCK THE INNER COVERS.

    Replace each of the outer covers. Be sure they are fully seated.

WEIGHT LIMITS

Check the Yakima Fitlist, or go to infolookup.yakima.com/ for your roof’s weight limit.

LONG LOAD

Any load extending over the windshield (except luggage boxes) must be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle, in addition to the rack. Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal injury or death.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

Rack Installation

• Inadequately secured loads and incorrectly mounted roof racks and accessory racks can come loose during travel and cause serious accidents! Therefore, installation, handling and use must be carried out in accordance with product and vehicle instructions.
• In addition to these instructions, review the mounting instructions for the roof rack and the operating instructions of the vehicle.
• These instructions should be kept together with the vehicle’s operating instructions and carried in the vehicle when in use and en route.
• For your own safety, you should only use roof racks that are authorized for use with your vehicle.
• For roof racks that do not specify the distance between the front and rear crossbars, the distance shall be at least 700 mm or as large as possible. Please note that changes (e.g. additional drill holes) to the accessory rack’s attachment system are not permissible.
• Check attachment hardware and load for tight fit and function:
  • Before the start of any journey.
  • After driving a short distance following rack or load install.
  • At regular intervals on longer journeys.
  • More frequently on rough terrain.
  • After interruption of a journey during which the vehicle was left unsupervised (check for damage due to outside intervention).

Rack Loading

• Do not exceed the maximum load specified for the roof rack, accessory rack or the maximum load recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Max Roof Load = weight of roof rack + weight of accessory racks + weight of load.
• Load shall be uniformly distributed with the lowest possible center of gravity.
• Load should not substantially extend beyond the loading surface of the roof rack.

Vehicle Driving and Regulations

• The speed driven must be suited to the load transported and to official speed limits. In the absence of any speed limits, we recommend a maximum speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).
• When transporting any load, the speed of the vehicle must take into account all conditions such as the state of the road, the surface of the road, traffic conditions, wind, etc. Vehicle handling, cornering, braking and sensitivity to side winds will change with the addition of roof top loads.
• If this product is off-road certified, it is designed and intended to be used on forest service roads, access roads or other non-technical terrains at moderate speeds. It is not to be used while rock- crawling, jumping, bogging, or other technical off-road terrains.
• When using off-road certified products with non-off-road certified products, always follow the warnings and restrictions stated in the non-off-road certified product instructions.

Maintenance

• The accessory rack should be carefully cleaned and maintained, particularly during the winter months. Use only a solution of water and standard car wash liquid without any alcohol, bleach or ammonium additives.
• For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of other road users, the accessory rack and roof rack should be removed when not in use.
• Periodically inspect accessory rack for damage. Replace lost, damaged or worn parts. Use only original spare parts obtained from a stocking specialist, dealer or manufacturer.
• Any changes made to the roof racks and accessory racks as well as the use of spare parts or accessories other than those supplied by the manufacturer will lead to the lapsing of the manufacturer’s warranty and liability for any material damage or accidents. You should observe these instructions to the letter and only use the original parts supplied.
