D. Using the L-Wrench Security Key, tighten all 4 M6 x 50mm Bolts to approx.

5Nm ( 44 in/lbs) of torque or a firm hand-tightness. (fig 7)

General Usage Information

* It is essential for the proper assembly, operation and use of the Roof Rack
that the instructions and safety precautions supplied are strictly observed.

* The maximum permissible load for your roof rack is the lower of the
maximum load capacity specified in your vehicle owner’s manual or specified
on your roof rack load label. Do NOT exceed the maximum load capacity.

Maximum load capacity equals the weight of the rack + accessories + weight
of cargo.
Ensure your vehicle’s function is not impaired before driving.

REGULARLY CHECK THE TIGHTNESS OF CROSS BAR ATTACHMENTS.
Loads should be evenly distributed and secured.
Check the function of all doors and sunroof before driving.
Any weight carried on the vehicle will adversely affect its handling particularly in cornering or in a cross wind and the vehicle

should therefore be driven with increased caution.

For lost key replacement or other service items call customer service: 1-800-632-3290 or visit: www.rolaproducts.com.

Please have lock core number or part numbers available.
