1. Introduction and Product Overview

The NORDRIVE N20002 Evos LP is a set of four low-profile feet designed for securely mounting NORDRIVE roof bars on vehicles equipped with standard roof rails. This system provides a robust and aerodynamic base for transporting various items on your vehicle's roof, enhancing both functionality and vehicle aesthetics.

Key Features:

• Complete set of four feet for mounting two NORDRIVE roof bars (roof bars sold separately).
• Elegant and compact design, offering a more streamlined appearance than traditional Evos feet.
• Low-profile design with bars positioned 2 cm closer to the roof, improving aerodynamic efficiency.
• Maximum load capacity of 75 kg (please also refer to your vehicle's manufacturer specifications).

2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or using the NORDRIVE N20002 Evos LP roof rack feet. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury.

• Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 75 kg for the roof rack system. Always adhere to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maximum roof load, if lower.
• Secure Fastening: Ensure all components are securely fastened before driving. Regularly check the tightness of all fasteners, especially after the first few kilometers of travel and periodically thereafter.
• Load Distribution: Distribute the load evenly across the roof bars. Secure all cargo properly to prevent shifting during transit.
• Driving Adjustments: Adjust your driving speed according to the load, road conditions, and weather. Be aware of increased vehicle height and potential changes in handling.
• Obstructions: Be mindful of low clearances, such as garages, car washes, and low-hanging branches, when the roof rack system is installed.

4. Setup and Installation

This section outlines the general steps for installing the NORDRIVE N20002 Evos LP feet onto your vehicle's standard roof rails. Always refer to the specific fitting instructions provided with your NORDRIVE roof bars and vehicle-specific fitting kit for detailed guidance.

1. Prepare Your Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle's roof rails are clean and free from obstructions.
2. Identify Mounting Points: Determine the correct positions for the roof rack feet on your vehicle's standard roof rails. These points are typically indicated in your vehicle's owner's manual or the roof bar fitting instructions.
3. Attach Feet to Roof Rails: Place each Evos LP foot onto the roof rail at the designated mounting points. The feet are designed to clamp onto the rail. Ensure the feet are oriented correctly, typically with the wider part facing outwards.
4. Insert Roof Bars: Once the feet are loosely positioned, insert the NORDRIVE roof bars (sold separately) into the designated slots on the feet. Ensure the bars are centered and extend equally on both sides.
5. Secure and Tighten: Using the provided hex key, tighten the internal locking mechanism within each foot. This will secure the foot to the roof rail and the roof bar to the foot. Tighten evenly on all four feet until they are firmly secured, but do not overtighten.
6. Verify Stability: After tightening, gently shake the installed roof rack system to ensure it is stable and does not move. Re-check all fasteners.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the NORDRIVE Evos LP feet and roof bars are correctly installed, they provide a secure platform for transporting cargo. Always adhere to the following guidelines:

• Cargo Securing: Always use appropriate straps, nets, or specialized carriers to securely fasten your cargo to the roof bars. Ensure there is no movement of the load during transit.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute the weight of your cargo as evenly as possible across the roof bars to maintain vehicle stability.
• Regular Checks: During long journeys, periodically stop and check that your cargo is still securely fastened and that the roof rack system remains tight.
• Aerodynamics: Be aware that adding a roof rack and cargo can affect your vehicle's aerodynamics and fuel consumption.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your NORDRIVE N20002 Evos LP roof rack feet.

• Cleaning: Clean the feet and roof bars regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or material.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all components for signs of wear, damage, corrosion, or cracks. Pay close attention to the clamping mechanisms and any moving parts.
• Fastener Tightness: Re-check the tightness of all bolts and fasteners regularly, especially after heavy use or exposure to harsh weather conditions.
• Storage: If the roof rack system is not needed for an extended period, it is recommended to remove it from the vehicle. This can reduce wear, wind noise, and improve fuel efficiency. Store components in a dry, protected area.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your NORDRIVE N20002 Evos LP roof rack feet.

• Loose Fit: If the feet feel loose after installation, ensure all bolts are tightened correctly and evenly. Verify that the feet are compatible with your specific vehicle's standard roof rails and that no components are missing or incorrectly assembled.
• Excessive Noise: Wind noise can occur with any roof rack system. Ensure all components are securely fastened and that roof bars are correctly positioned and not vibrating. Removing the system when not in use can significantly reduce noise.
• Difficulty Installing: Double-check that you are using the correct NORDRIVE roof bars and any necessary vehicle-specific fitting kits. Refer to all instruction manuals provided. If issues persist, contact customer support.
