A.0 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).
B.0 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 givenvehicle! 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.
C.0 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!
