ERKUL Skybar V2 Roof Rack Cross Bars
ATTENTION
- Don’t cut the bars or scrape the plastic headers! These crossbars are vehicle-specific and bar lengths vary by model.
- If one bar is longer than the other, the front of your vehicle is wider than the back.
- In this case, install the longer bar on the front and the shorter bar on the rear.
- If you can’t ft t, there may be a point you missed.
- If you cut the bars and don’t insert cross bars fully into the mount, the bar’s carrying capacity will decrease. In this case, Erkul Auto will not accept responsibility.
- If you need assistance please do not hesitate to contact us via your shopping channel.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Confirm that you have all the required parts by checking the assembly instructions.
- Regularly check for worn-out or damaged parts and replace them.
- Regularly clean and manage the load bars, especially during the winter.
- Store all loose parts in a safe place when the product is removed.
- Review and follow the assembly instructions and the suggestions list. Complete each step in the order recommended.
- With the load bars installed, some sunroofs and/or radio antennas may not be operable, or some of their functions may be limited.
- Except where otherwise stated in the mounting instructions, the load bars can be installed on cars with sunroofs.
- Keep a minimum gap of 27 inches (700 mm) between the load bars.
- Keep a mnm um distance of 23 inches (600mm) between the load bars while carrying heavy loads.
- Ensure that the load bars are securely mounted on the roof each time they are installed. To check the security of the bars, firmly grasp them and attempt to move them forward and backward, as well as side to side. If any part of the unit moves, the mounting screws must be tightened to prevent movement. Check the security of the load bars regularly.
- Do not exceed the maximum load limit of 165 lbs (75kg). This LMT may be less dependent on the maximum roof load recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Always defer to the lowest maximum suggested roof load.
- The maximum roof load is equal to the weight of the load bars plus any installed career accessories plus the weight of the load itself.
- Any items carried on the load bars MUST be securely fastened. The use of elastic bungees is not safe.
- Surfboards and other long items must be fastened at both the front and back of the vehicle when being transported.
- When transporting multiple surfboards, stack them one on top of the other rather than next to each other

- Before loading, all loose or removable pieces of the load, such as bicycle child seats, tire pumps, surfboard fins, etc. should be removed.

- Check the load’s initial security after a short distance and at regular intervals on longer drives, at highway speeds, or on bumpy roads. When required, tighten the load’s fastening straps.
- When carrying taller items such as upright bicycles, the total height of the vehicle rises significantly. Use caution when clearance is low or when entering parking structures.
- When a load is carried on the roof, the vehicle’s handling and braking behavior can change, and it is more susceptible to cross-winds.
- The vehicle’s speed must always be adjusted to the load being transported as well as current driving conditions, such as road type, road quality, wind conditions- ons, traffic intensity, and relevant speed limits, but speeds must never exceed 80MPH (130 km/h). Speed limits and other traffic restrictions must always be followed.
