Important:
Rhino 2500 series for Euro Crossbar.
Please refer to your fitting instruction to ensure that the roof racks are installed in the correct locations.
Check the contents of kit before commencing fitment and report any discrepancies.
Place these instructions in the vehicle’s glove box after installation is complete.
IMPORTANT Care Instruction:
Wash and clean the vehicle roof prior to fitting the Roof racks.
PLEASE READ THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FITTING.
Maximum carrying capacity: 75kg (165lbs) evenly distributed over crossbars. Please refer to your vehicle manufacturers handbook and DK Specification sheet for maximum roof loading.
Always use the lower of the two figures.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your crossbars. Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (probably once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). You should also check the crossbars each time they are refitted. Make sure to fasten your load securely. Please ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible.
Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Load Ratings
When these roof racks are to be used on a vehicle that is driven off sealed roads, the manufacturer maximum roof load rating (to be found in the vehicles User Manual) should be halved . For example, if the vehicles maximum roof load rating is 70kgs (subtract 5kg = weight of crossbar and legs), these racks, when fitted to this vehicle should have no more than 35kgs loaded on them
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.Please remove crossbars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Note for Dealers and Fitters:
It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.
