SECURITY REGULATIONS
-
A.1 Check at regular intervals (depending on the state of the roads) both before and during each journey that the roof box is firmly fixed to the roof rack, the load adequately secured, the roof box locked and the key removed from the lock.
-
A.2 Make sure the roof box is closed and locked and the key removed from the lock before driving off.
-
A.3 If left unsupervised, check all locks, load and fixation of the box to make sure it is in the correct condition.
-
A.4 Inadequately secured loads and incorrectly mounted roof racks and roof boxes can come loose during a journey and cause serious accidents!
-
A.5 Ensure you give due consideration to the change in height and drive behaviour (sidewind sensitivity, corner and braking behaviour) of the given vehicle when a roof rack and/ or roof box is/are mounted and, above all, loaded. No further loads may be attached to the exterior of the roof box.
-
A.6 The total permissible laden weight of the given motor vehicle may not be exceeded. The instructions of the motor vehicle manufacturer in respect of the maximum roof weight must be observed.
-
A.7 Calculation of allowed roof load:
Weight of roof rack- + weight of roof box
- + weight of payload
- = available roof load
-
A.8 The vehicle’s speed must always be adjusted to the load being carried and the current driving conditions, such as the road type, road quality, wind conditions, traffic intensity and applicable speed limits, but must under no circumstances exceed 130 km/h. Applicable speed limits and other traffic regulations must always be observed.
-
A.9 The roof box should be carefully cleaned and maintained, particularly during the winter months. For this purpose, only use a solution of water and standard household washing liquid without any alcohol, bleach or ammonium additives as otherwise the surface of the roof box could suffer damage. Please do not use any standard cockpit sprays for cleaning the roof box. The locks should be lubricated with spray lubricant (no lubricant should be allowed to come into contact with the plastic surface of the roof box).
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING WHEN USING THE ROOF BOX
- B.1 The height of the given vehicle can increase by up to 700 mm (depending on the roof rack used)
- B.2 Beware of low garage entrances, low clearances in general, low-hanging branches, etc!
- B.3 Wind noise may be generated.
- B.4 When using an automatic car-wash facility, the roof box and roof rack must first be removed.
- B.5 In addition to these usage instructions, due consideration should also be given to mounting instructions for the given roof rack and the operating instructions of the given vehicle!
- B.6 For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of other road users, the roof box and roof rack should be removed when not in use.
- B.7 For your own safety, you should only use tested (e.g. GS-tested) roof racks that are authorised for usage in conjunction with your vehicle.
- B.8 The roof box must be mounted with the front facing the driving direction.
- B.9 In order to avoid generating excessive lifting forces, the roof box must be mounted parallel to the line of the road and not at an angle.
- B.10 If no special fitting positions are given in the assembly instructions, try to maintain a minimum distance of 700 mm between the load carrier bars. Please note that changes (e.g. additional drill holes) to the roof box fixation system are not permissible.
MAINTENANCE
- C.1 These usage instructions should be kept together with the given vehicle’s operating instructions and carried in the vehicle when in use and en route. Any changes made to the mounting sets and roof box as well as the use of spare parts or accessories other than those supplied by the manufacturer will lead to the manufacturer’s warranty and liability for any material damage or accidents lapsing! You should therefore observe these usage instructions to the letter and only use the original parts supplied. In the event of you losing parts or parts wearing out, you should only replace them with original spare parts that can be obtained from a specialist stockist or the manufacturer.
- C.2 To assure the rapid provision of spare parts and avoid any time-consuming queries, we would ask you to indicate the so-called „BA No.“ whenever you order spare parts or have a query. This „BA No.“ can be found on a sticker located inside the roof box lid.
- C.3 In order to ensure that you are able to replace any lost or defective keys as quickly as possible, it is advised that you note down the key numbers.
- C.4 The roof box should not be stored outside exposed to the elements (e.g. rain or direct sunlight).
- C.5 The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or accident that may occur as a result of non-compliance with these usage instructions, changes made to parts or usage of any parts other than the manufacturer’s original parts!
