GB Security regulations

• Check at regular intervals (depending on the state of roads) both before and during each journey that the roof box is firmly fixed to the roof bars, the load is adequately secured , the roof box is locked and the key removed from the lock.
• Inadequately secured loads and incorrectly mounted roof racks and roof boxes can come loose during a journey and cause serious accidents.
• Make sure you give due consideration to the change in height and drive behaviour (side-wind sensitivity, corner and braking behaviour) of the given vehicle when a roof rack and/or roof box is/are mounted and, above all, loaded. No further loads may be attached to the outside of the roof box.
• The total permissible laden weight of the given motor vehicle may not be exceeded. The instructions of the motor vehicle manufacturer in respect of the maximum roof weight must be observed.
• Calculation of available roof load: Weight of roof rack + weight of roof box + weight of payload = available roof load.
• The speed driven must be suited to the load to be transported and, of course, to all relevant official speed limits. In the absence of any speed limits to the contrary, we recommend a maximum speed of 130 km/h. When transporting any type of load the speed of the given vehicle must take into account all prevailing conditions such as the state of the road, the surface of the road, traffic conditions, wind, etc..
• The roof box should be carefully cleaned and maintained, particularly during the winter months. For this purpose only use a solution of water and standard washing-up liquid without any alcohol, bleach or ammonium additives as the surface of the roof box may suffer damage. Do not use any standard cockpit sprays for cleaning the roof box. The locks should be lubricated with a spray lubricant (no lubricant should be allowed to come into contact with the plastic surface of the roof box).
• Note the following when using the roof box:
1. The height of the given vehicle can increase by up to 70 cm (depending on the roof rack used).
2. Beware of low garage entrances, low clearances in general, low-hanging branches, etc. .
3. Wind noise may be generated.
4. When using an automatic car-wash facility, the roof box and roof rack must first be removed.
5. In addition to these usage instructions, due consideration should also be given to mounting instructions for the given roof rack and the operating instructions of the given vehicle.
6. For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of other road users, the roof box and roof rack should be removed when not in use.
7. For your own safety, you should only use tested (e.g. GS-tested) roof racks that are authorised for usage in conjunction with your vehicle.
8. In order to avoid generating excessive lifting forces, the roof box should be mounted parallel to the line of the road and not at an angle.
9. In the absence of any instructions from the vehicle manufacturer to the contrary and in compliance with the vehicle specifics, the distance between the rack’s transverse struts should be as large as possible but still within the setting range of the adjustable mounting system. Note that changes (e.g. additional drill holes) to the roof box’s fixing system are not permissible.
• These usage instructions should be kept together with the given vehicle’s operating instructions and carried in the vehicle when in use and en route. Any changes made to the mounting sets and roof box as well as the use of spare parts or accessories other than those supplied by the manufacturer will lead to the manufacturer’s warranty and liability for any material damage or accidents lapsing. You should therefore observe these usage instructions to the letter and only use the original parts supplied. In the event of you losing parts or parts wearing out, you should only replace them with original spare parts that can be obtained from a specialist stockist or the manufacturer.
• To assure the rapid provision of spare parts and avoid any time-consuming queries, we would ask you to provide the BA number whenever you order spare parts or have a query. The BA number can be found on a sticker located inside the roof box top.
• In order to make sure that you are able to replace any lost or defective keys as quickly as possible, we would advise you to note down the lock and key numbers.
• The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or accident that may occur as a result of non-compliance with these usage instructions, changes made to parts or usage of any parts other than the manufacturer ’s original parts.
