Retningslinjer for lasting:

• Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 330 lbs (150 kg). This includes the weight of the cross bars themselves and any mounted accessories.
• Distribute the load evenly across both cross bars to maintain vehicle stability and prevent damage.
• Secure all cargo firmly to the cross bars using appropriate tie-downs or straps.
• Be aware of the increased height of your vehicle with cargo loaded, especially when entering garages or low-clearance areas.

Tilbehørskompatibilitet:

The T-slot aluminum profiles allow for easy attachment of various roof-mounted accessories such as cargo boxes, bike racks, kayak carriers, and rooftop baskets. Ensure any accessories you use are compatible with T-slot systems and are securely fastened.

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your roof rack system.

• Rengjøring: Clean the cross bars periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Undersøkelse: Before each use, especially when carrying heavy loads, inspect all mounting bolts and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Check for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
• Smøring: If the locking mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole.
