Place these instructions in the vehicle’s glove box after installation is complete.
Important: Please read these instructions carefully prior to installation.
Please refer to your fitting instruction to ensure that the roof racks are installed in the correct locations.
Check the contents of this kit before commencing fitment and report any discrepancies.
Place these instructions in the vehicle’s glove box after installation is complete.
Care Instruction: Wash vehicle roof prior to installing Rhino Tracks. Fit Time: 30 minutes
Important Information
Maximum carrying capacity: 75kg (including roof bars)
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your cross bars. 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-fitted.
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 cross bars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Load Ratings:
Maximum permissible load is 75kg per pair of cross bars (include the weight of the cross bars, 5kg). When cross bars are to be
used in off-road conditions, please build a safety factor of 1.5 into this load limit. Although the cross bars are tested and approved
to AS1235-2000, Australian road conditions can be much more rigorous. However, increasing the number of cross bars 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.

2 Remove Turret Strip from Vehicle:
Step A:
Place a rag on the vehicle at the rear of the
turret strip to protect the paint work. Using
a small flat screwdriver prise the end of the
turret strip up to release the end.
Step B:
Grab the free end of the turret strip and in one action twist
the strip towards the centre of the vehicle and lift up. You
should feel the plastic retaining clips release. Take care
not to snap the fastening clips.
Continue to work your way towards the front of the
vehicle using this same action until the strip is completely
removed.
Repeat this step on the other side of the vehicle.
3 Insert Clamp Casting:
A
Position the clamp casting as shown in image A
and lower the clamp into position. Be sure to align
clamp to the centre of the cut-out in the vehicle roof.
Rotate the clamp casting as shown in image B so
that the clamp casting sits under the lip of the roof
panel.
Note: If difficulty is experienced due to excess
sealant on the vehicle, remove the sealant with a
screwdriver in the area shown. It is essential that the
area is re-sealed with Butyl Mastic and allowed to dry
fully before fitting the castings.

Check
The top pad mouldings are designed to hold the castings upright/vertical when fitted in place, this provides greater
clamp pressure of the castings.
As a check gently push the casting towards the centre of the vehicle until the castings are sitting vertical. In this
position the castings should have a firm hold on the vehicle.

6 Replace Turret Strip:
Lower the turret strip over the castings and check Turret Strip
the alignment between the castings and the cut-outs.
If the castings do not match the turret strip you may
have to adjust their position so that the turret strip
slides easily over the top of the castings.
Once you have lowered the turret strip in place, gently
push down on the strip until it has snapped securely
in place along its entire length.
7 Insert T Extrusion into Mouldings:
Insert the T extrusions into each of the top pad Cut Corner
mouldings as indicated. You will need to insert a T to Outside
extrusion on either side of the top pads with the cut
corners facing out.
