Maximum carrying capacity: 100kg (220lbs) including the weight of the rack system 5kg (11lbs). Please refer to your vehicle manufacturers handbook for maximum carrying capacity. Always use the lower of the two figures. Load must be evenly distributed over the entire basket. Warning: Do not attempt to fit the roof rack system to your vehicle unless you fully understand these fitting instructions. Please direct any questions regarding fitting to the dealer from where the roof racks were purchased. Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps. Recommendations: It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your roof racks. 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 each time they are re-fitted. 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 and must be entirely contained within the extents of the roof racks. 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. Off-road use: The Roof Rack System may be used in off road applications, however a safety factor of 1.5 is enforced. That is, maximum permissible off road load is 66kg 145lbs). Although the crossbars are tested and approved to AS1235-2000, off-road conditions can be much more rigorous. Increasing the number of crossbars does not increase the vehicles maximum permissible roof loading. Note for Dealers and Fitters: It is your responsibility to ensure these fitting instructions are given to the end user or client. Rhino-Rack 3 Pike Street, Rydalmere, NSW 2116, Australia.

When these roof racks are to be used on a vehicle that is driven off sealed roads, the maximum roof rack load rating should be divided by 1.5. Do not forget to subtract 5kg from your maximum carrying capacity due to the weight of the crossbars and legs.
