Maximum carrying capacity:
100kg (220lbs) including the weight of the rack system.
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 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. Rack System 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.
Off-road use:
The Track 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 67kg (147lbs). Although the crossbars are tested and approved to AS1235-2000/ 15011154, off-road conditions can be much more rigorous.
Extreme car must be taken in off road conditions

Place the Tracks into the roof ditch. The Tracks sit 335mm back
from the windshield, be sure to orientate the Tracks in the correct
position.

Apply pressure to the track at both ends, bending it to the
contour of the roof ditch. Note: It is recommended to have an
additional person for step 3, 4 and 11.

removing the Tracks.
Note: The drill holes are close
to the edge. Ensure the track
is in contact with the edge of
the ditch before drilling.

6
Vacuum any swarf from the drilled areas. Tip: If it is possible, it
is recommended to use an additional person to vacuum while
you are drilling. This will reduce the amount of swarf entering the
hood lining or inner roof panel.
7
Apply COLD GALVANISING PAINT. Make sure to spread
around drilled hole as well as inside. Allow 10min to dry.
Weather conditions may alter drying time.
Apply the Paint
inside EACH drill
point. Make sure to
cover the entire
length of the hole.

1: Remove the backing tape from the Butyl Patches. 2: Place them over all holes drilled. Remove the tape from the top of the patches.

Using either a pneumatic or concertina type rivet gun (not a small hand gun), rivet the Track into place. Make sure all Rivets are seated
firmly onto the base of the track, place the Rivet Gun Spacer onto the Rivet and gentle tap on the back ensures the rivet is seated before
compressing. Check Track alignment carefully before starting. Start at the front and move towards the rear.
Place the Rivet Gun Spacer over the
Rivet before fixing in place. This will
prevent the Rivet Gun scratching the
Tracks.
