Setup and Installation
Important: This steel bar is designed to be used exclusively with Green Valley Original Pro mounting kits. Ensure you have the correct mounting kit for your vehicle before proceeding with installation.
Step 1: Unpacking
Carefully remove the steel bar from its packaging. Inspect the bar for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit.
Step 2: Attaching to Mounting Kit
- Refer to the specific instructions provided with your Green Valley Original Pro mounting kit for detailed steps on how to securely attach the steel bar. The H-shaped profile of the bar is designed to integrate precisely with these kits.
- Ensure all fasteners are tightened according to the mounting kit's specifications to prevent any movement or instability during transport.
Step 3: Load Testing
Before transporting any actual loads, perform a static load test. This involves applying a representative weight to the installed bar to ensure both the bar and the mounting kit are securely installed and can safely support the intended weight.
Operating Instructions
Loading the Bar
- Distribute the load evenly across the steel bar. Avoid concentrating heavy items in one specific area to maintain balance and prevent undue stress.
- Secure all loads using appropriate straps or tie-downs. Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum weight capacity specified for your Green Valley Original Pro system and your vehicle's roof load limit.
Driving with a Load
- Drive cautiously, especially when cornering, braking, or encountering crosswinds. The presence of a load will increase wind resistance and raise the vehicle's center of gravity, affecting handling.
- Regularly check the security of the load and the bar during long journeys or after driving on rough terrain.
Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the steel bar for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Pay close attention to all connection points and fasteners, ensuring they remain tight and secure.
- Cleaning: Clean the bar with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or material.
- Storage: When the steel bar is not in use, store it in a dry, protected environment to prevent rust and prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Bar is Loose
- Check all mounting kit fasteners. Ensure they are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Verify that the bar is correctly seated within the mounting kit's H-shaped profile.
Excessive Noise During Driving
- Ensure the load is securely fastened and not vibrating.
- Check for any loose components on the bar or mounting kit.
Difficulty Attaching Load
- Ensure the load is within the dimensions and weight capacity of the bar.
- Use appropriate accessories (e.g., load stops, straps) for securing different types of cargo.
