Installing the crossbars
G
Warning!
Please follow these installation instructions
carefully. Caution should be exercised to
avoid damage to the vehicle while installing
the crossbars. Also, be careful not to injure
yourself or others while installing and
adjusting the crossbars or loading items on
them.
Each individual step of the installation
instructions, the warning notices, the
general safety precautions and the
instructions for use must be followed
exactly. If the crossbars are not mounted
correctly, they and the objects attached to
them could come loose from your vehicle
and cause an accident, thereby injuring you
and other persons and/or causing damage
to property, including damage to your
vehicle.
G
Warning!
Every time the crossbars are mounted,
before you set off on a journey and
periodically during longer journeys, check
all the screws on the crossbars to make
sure that they are secure, and tighten them
if necessary. Repeat these checks at
regular intervals as road-surface conditions
dictate, and at least after every 1500 miles
(2500 km) of continuous use.
Otherwise, the crossbars, mounted
accessories and the objects attached to
them could come loose from the vehicle
causing an accident, thereby injuring you
and other persons and/or causing damage
to property, including damage to your
vehicle.
Do not use lubricant on the screws of the
crossbars. The screws could work loose
and the crossbars could become detached
