1. Вступ

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the NORDRIVE N11001 Roof Rack Load Stops. These load stops are designed to secure various items, such as ladders, timber, or other long objects, on compatible roof bars, preventing lateral movement during transport. They feature a durable metal construction with EPDM coating to protect your cargo from scratches and ensure longevity.

2. Інформація про безпеку

Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury.

• Always ensure load stops are securely fastened to the roof bars before placing any cargo.
• Distribute cargo weight evenly and do not exceed the maximum load capacity of your vehicle's roof or roof bars. Consult your vehicle and roof bar manuals for specific limits.
• Regularly check the tightness of all fasteners, especially after driving for a short distance (e.g., 50 km) and before each subsequent journey.
• Drive at appropriate speeds, considering the additional weight and wind resistance caused by roof-mounted cargo. Adjust driving style accordingly.
• Avoid sudden braking or sharp turns when carrying cargo on the roof, as this can affect vehicle stability.

Завантаження вантажу

• Place your cargo (e.g., ladders, timber, pipes) between the two installed load stops on the roof bars.
• Adjust the position of the load stops along the roof bar to snugly fit the width of your cargo. Ensure the cargo is centered and balanced.
• Tighten the load stops using either the wrench or hand knobs as described in the installation section. They should be firm against the cargo, but do not overtighten.
• For optimal security, always use additional tie-down straps or bungee cords to firmly secure the cargo to the roof bars and load stops. This prevents vertical movement and further lateral shifting.

Unloading Cargo

• Переконайтеся, що ваш автомобіль припаркований на рівній поверхні, а стоянкове гальмо увімкнене.
• Loosen any additional tie-down straps securing the cargo.
• Loosen the load stops by turning the bolts/knobs counter-clockwise until they can be moved freely.
• Carefully remove your cargo from the roof bars.

6. Технічне обслуговування

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your NORDRIVE N11001 Load Stops.

• Periodically inspect the load stops for any signs of wear, damage, cracks in the EPDM coating, or corrosion on metal parts.
• Clean the load stops with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals that could damage the EPDM coating or metal finish.
• Ensure all moving parts and fasteners are free from dirt, debris, and rust. Lubricate threads if necessary with a suitable, non-corrosive lubricant.
• Store the load stops in a dry place when not in use for extended periods to prevent environmental damage.

7. Вирішення проблем

Поширені проблеми та їх вирішення:

Issue: Load stops are loose after installation or during transit.

• рішення: Re-tighten all bolts or hand knobs firmly. Ensure the load stops are correctly seated in the roof bar channel and that no debris is preventing a tight fit. Always perform a final check before driving.

Issue: Cargo slides despite using load stops.

• рішення: Ensure load stops are positioned snugly against the cargo. The primary function of load stops is lateral restraint. Always use additional tie-down straps to secure cargo to the roof bars and load stops to prevent vertical and longitudinal movement.
