T7-SLRS - Sliding Ladder Rack System |...

Important InformationMaximum permissible load: 42kg

Recommendations:It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you fi rst install your ladder rack. Bolt connec-tions 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 cross bars each time they are re-fi tted.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.

Sensitivity to cross winds, behaviour in curves and braking.

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-resisting loads; special consideration must be taken into account when braking.Please remove ladder rack and cross bars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.Unsealed Road Factor of Safety:When the T7-SLRS Sliding Ladder Rack System is to be used in off-road conditions, please build a safety of factor of 1.5 into maximum permissible load limit. Increasing the number of mount points to the vehicle does not increase the vehicles maximum permissible roof loading.

Note for Dealers and Fitters:It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.
