Load Handling and Safety

Load Distribution: Distribute loads evenly and laterally/longitudinally as low as possible over the span. Avoid point loads concentrated at the front or rear. Illustrations show correct and incorrect load placement.

Transporting Loads: Exercise extreme care with wind-resistant loads, paying attention during cornering and braking. Off-road conditions require extra caution, especially on unpaved surfaces.

Securing Loads: Long flexible loads must be tied to the bonnet. Surfboard overhangs over 600mm require bonnet tie-down. Loads must be secured to the platform, not the legs. Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.

Vehicle Considerations: Do not obstruct windscreen camera sensors. Warranty may be void if kayaks are not secured to the bonnet. Tub/tray/canopys can move independently; fix rigidly to either cabin or rack system, not both. Remove racks for automatic car washes. Ensure ladders are well-supported and exercise caution with heights. Prevent sunroof collision with the rack system.

Carrying Capacity and Maintenance

Carrying Capacity

Check your vehicle manufacturer’s handbook for maximum carrying capacity. Load must be evenly distributed.

*USE THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER’S MAXIMUM ROOF ALLOWANCE IF IT IS LOWER THAN THE FIGURE LISTED

Consult the online calculator for current system load limit data.

In-Service Maintenance Checks

• Check all bolt connections after a short drive (5-10 mins) upon initial installation.
• Check bolted connections regularly (weekly recommended, depending on usage).
• Check bolted connections each time they are refitted.
• Off-road conditions require more frequent checks of bolted connections and loads.
• Ensure vehicle manufacturer’s GVM and gross axle weights are not exceeded (refer to owner’s manual).

Step 4: Shows crossbars being placed onto the vehicle's roof rails.

Step 5: Top view illustrating the required spacing between crossbars: 700 - 800mm (27.9/16" - 31.1/2"). Ensure 90° angles.

Step 6: Front View and Tightening

Step 6: Front view showing crossbar placement and measurement (T1).

Step 7: Shows the tightening process (B) for the legs. Incrementally tighten each leg to ensure crossbars are firmly set. Check the rubber gasket is correctly sealed with the roof rail. Ensure bar/platform overhang remains equidistant while tightening.

Step 8: Adjusting Clamps

Step 8: Illustrates loosening (B) and adjusting crossbars. Use tool T2 (marker) for alignment.

Step 9: Shows how to slide clamps outwards and ensure they remain fixed. Ensure inner clamps are flush with the inner surface of the rail.

Step 10: Shows inner sliding clamps being adjusted.

Step 11: Warning: Ensure inner sliding clamps do not shift position while tilting crossbars.

Step 12: Underbar Strips (Pre-2022 Vehicles)

Step 12: Shows the use of tool T2 for marking and T3 for cutting underbar strips.

For POST 2022 Vehicles: Refer to Fit Sheet for underbar strip dimensions and cut to size.

For PRE 2022 Vehicles: Measure and cut underbar strips to the correct length (X mm), ensuring the "0mm" mark is at the centre of the bar.

Supplement Sheet: Provides details for FORD RANGER T6.2 WILDTRAK DOUBLE CAB, including measurements for leg kits and crossbars.

Note: Proceed to Step 12 of the LEG KIT instructions.

Step 13-17: Final Crossbar/Platform Fitting

Step 15: Illustrates final crossbar placement on roof rails.

Step 16: Instructions for POST 2022 and Pre 2022 vehicles regarding crossbar/platform alignment. For Pre 2022, realign to Step 8 markings or refer to Pioneer Fit Chart for platforms.

Step 17: Incrementally tighten each leg to firmly set crossbars/platforms. Check rubber gasket seal. Ensure bar overhang is still equidistant. Torque: 5-6Nm (6.5-8LB/FT).

For Pioneer Platforms: Proceed to Step 20.

Step 18-21: Securing and Final Check

Step 18: Shows cutting of underbar strips (T3).

Step 19: Illustrates locking the leg assembly.
