Unlock and Remove Cover: Use the provided key to unlock the end cap of each cross bar and remove the cover.
Loosen Adjustment Screws: Inside the end cap, locate and loosen the screws that allow for length adjustment of the cross bar. Do not remove them completely.
Position Lower Clamp: Carefully place the cross bar onto your vehicle's side rails. Ensure the lower clamp mechanism is positioned correctly under the side rail.
Adjust Length and Tighten: Adjust the length of the cross bar to fit snugly between your vehicle's side rails. Once properly aligned, tighten the adjustment screws firmly to secure the bar's length.
Fix the Base: Ensure the base of the cross bar is securely seated on the side rail. Tighten the screws that fix the base to the cross bar, ensuring a stable connection.
Replace Cover and Lock: Reattach the end cap cover and use the key to lock it into place. This secures the cross bar and activates the anti-theft feature.
Repeat for Second Bar: Follow the same steps for the second cross bar. Ensure both bars are parallel and evenly spaced for optimal load distribution.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the cross bars are ready to support your cargo. Observe the following guidelines:

Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 220 pounds (100 kg). Distribute weight evenly across both cross bars.
Secure Cargo: Always ensure all cargo is securely fastened to the cross bars using appropriate tie-downs, straps, or cargo accessories. Regularly check the security of your load during travel.
Adjustable Length: The cross bars can be adjusted in length to accommodate different widths of cargo or to optimize placement. Refer to the installation section for adjustment steps.
Aerodynamic Design: The aerodynamic profile helps reduce wind noise. However, large or irregularly shaped cargo may still generate additional noise.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your roof rack cross bars:

Periodic Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, screws, and locking mechanisms to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten as necessary.
Cleaning: Clean the cross bars with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or rubber components.
Rubber Pads: Inspect the rubber pads on the base feet for wear or damage. These pads protect your vehicle's finish and ensure a secure grip.
Storage: If removing the cross bars for extended periods, store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Excessive Wind Noise	Loose installation; large or improperly secured cargo; specific vehicle aerodynamics.	Ensure all components are tightly secured. Re-check the installation steps. Adjust cargo placement. Consider removing cross bars when not in use if noise persists and is bothersome.
Cross Bars Feel Loose	Screws not tightened sufficiently; incorrect adjustment for vehicle width.	Re-tighten all adjustment and fixing screws. Ensure the cross bars are adjusted to the correct width for your vehicle's side rails.
Difficulty Locking/Unlocking	Key not fully inserted; debris in lock mechanism; damaged lock.	Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly. Clean the lock mechanism if debris is visible. If the lock is damaged, contact customer support.
Scratches on Vehicle Roof	Improper placement; missing or damaged rubber pads.	Ensure rubber pads are correctly positioned and intact. Always place the cross bars carefully to avoid dragging.
