Important Information
Maximum carrying capacity: Refer to maximum carrying capacity of roof racks
Please refer to your vehicle manufacturers handbook for maximum carrying capacity of your roof racks. Always use the lower of the two fi gures. Load must be evenly distributed over the crossbars.
Warning: Do not attempt to fi t the 570/ 580 to your vehicle unless you fully understand these fi tting instructions. Please direct any questions regarding fi tting to the dealer from where the 570/ 580 was purchased. Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Ensure the bottom of the kayak is clean before loading to avoid damage to both kayak and cradle.
Take care when loading and unloading to ensure that the kayak does not damage the vehicle.
The roof racks must be at least 600mm apart for safe use.
Failure to follow these warnings and instructions set out will void warranty.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you fi rst install your kayak cradles. Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). You should also check the roof racks and kayak cradles each time they are re-fi tted. Always make sure to fasten your load securely. Please also ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible. Long loads (e.g. canoes and kayaks) must be secured front and rear with non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Roof racks must be removed when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Caution: The handling characteristics of the vehicle changes when you transport a load on the roof. For safety reasons we recommend you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resistant loads. Special consideration must be taken into account when cornering and braking.
