Basic Required Tools

HYUNDAI BEF21 AC000 Cross Bars - Basic Required Tools

REGULARLY CHECK THE TIGHTNESS BY PERFORMING A TUG ON CROSSBARS.
THEY SHOULD NOT MOVE. If crossbars move, see step 4-6 for proper tightening. Incorrect clamp tightness can cause crossbar separation from vehicle resulting in product failure and vehicle damage. Serious physical injury may occur.
Loads must be evenly distributed and secured. Failure to adhere to distribution requirements may result in loss of vehicle control, severe personal injury, or death.
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.
Only use NON-STRETCH tie down straps. Use of stretch elastic tie downs may cause loss of load, potential serious injury, and vehicle damage.
**** Never exceed crossbars load limit of 165 LBS / 75 KG. Failure to adhere to load limits may result in loss of vehicle control, severe personal injury, or death.
