IMPORTANT WARNINGS

RACK INSTALLATION

• Inadequately secured loads and incorrectly mounted roof racks and accessory racks can come loose during travel and cause serious accidents!
• When installed correctly, a roof rack is not a dangerous accessory.  But they can be dangerous if you don’t take overhead clearance into consideration.  Therefore, please pay careful attention to the tips from the manufacturer of the vehicle and the KYX’s instruction of the roof rack to help reduce these risks.  Although the roof racks do not specify the distance between the front and the rear one, the distance shall be at least 700 mm (28 inches) or as large as possible. Please note that changes (e.g. additional drill holes) to the base rack’s attachment system are not permissible.

Check attachment hardware and load for tight fit and function:

1. Before the start of any journey.
2. At regular intervals on longer journeys, or on bad terrain.
3. After an 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 load (Max.75 kg/Max.165 Ibs) = weight of roof the rack + weight of the 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.
• The roof rack or accessory rack may not project over the gutter. For cars without gutters over the outer edge, refer to local or national regulations.

VEHICLE DRIVING AND REGULATIONS

• Driving at high speeds in windy conditions with a roof rack may make your vehicle less stable. Thus 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 SO mph (80 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.
• Off-road driving is not recommended and could result in damage to your vehicle or your gear. Conditions will vary depending on where you live. so consider your driving speed when traveling with a roof rack and cargo

MAINTENANCE

• The roof 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. Periodically inspect accessory racks 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.
