Unblocking of basic cross-pieces (for removal or recursors)

Fig. 1.71 . Fiksatorny lever

Open a cover And (fig. 1.71) of a basic cross-piece on the left side.

Insert an enclosed key into the lock B and turn a key in vertical situation.

Incline the Page clamp a little.

Turn a key in horizontal situation and extend it.

Close a cover of the lock A and completely incline outside the Page clamp.

Repeat the same actions on the right side.

Fixing of basic cross-pieces

Open a cover of the lock A of a cross-piece.

Insert an enclosed key into the lock B and turn a key in vertical situation.

Carefully enter a clamp With into a basic cross-piece.

Turn a key in horizontal situation and extend it.

Close a lock C cover.

Repeat the same actions on the right side.

Removal of basic cross-pieces

Rasfiksiruyte basic cross-piece.

Fig. 1.72 . E directing with dredging, points of fastening of F and basic cross-pieces of G

Shift it so that it got to dredging Е (fig. 1.72) .

Carefully lift a cross-piece.

For fixing press a small rychazhok of D support on inside down.

Installation of basic cross-pieces

Rasfiksiruyte basic cross-piece.

Carefully from above insert a cross-piece support of you into dredging Е.

Carefully lower a cross-piece so that other support got to dredging. It is desirable to carry out this operation together.

Shift a cross-piece so that it is fixed in one of dredging.

Fix a basic cross-piece.

It is simpler to establish basic cross-pieces together though it is possible to do it and to one.

Provision of basic cross-pieces

Points of fastening of basic cross-pieces are placed in directing F and, in these points of a cross-piece, are easily fixed. Cross-pieces can be fixed only in these points. When moving a cross-piece follows расфиксировать, in in new situation again to fix.

Cross-pieces have support of various size. Cross-pieces with support of the bigger size establish behind. Cross-pieces put „a back to a back» so more flat parties of support are turned outside of G.

If the luggage carrier on a roof is not necessary, and you intend to leave cross-pieces: shift both cross-pieces back so that they were fixed in both back dredging.

At luggage carrier installation the distance between basic cross-pieces is defined by the sizes of a luggage carrier – see the guide enclosed to a luggage carrier to its installation.

When it is necessary to remove basic cross-pieces

When it is not necessary a luggage carrier on a roof (economy of fuel, less aerodynamic noise).

When passing an automatic sink.

ATTENTION In transit heavy and bulky subjects on a roof rideable qualities of the car owing to change of the center of gravity and increase in the area of the appendix of wind loading it change it is dangerous. It is necessary for considering at a choice of control mode by the car and speeds of its movement, it is necessary to avoid sharp braking and maneuvering when such cargo is on a luggage carrier. If to move a basic cross-piece with the inserted key, it is possible to damage a paint and varnish covering as the cover of the lock concerns a roof. In case of any damages of the car owing to use of other basic systems of luggage carriers or violation of the instruction on installation the right to guarantee repair is lost.

Instructions on using a luggage carrier on a roof

Surely follow factory instructions on installation of support of a luggage carrier.

On the car in fillets of a roof there are points of fastening of basic cross-pieces of a special form. Therefore it is impossible to put the first come into the hands basic cross-pieces.

These basic cross-pieces are a basis for complete basic system. For transportation of luggage, bicycles, surfboards, skis, boats it is necessary to use additional holders. All components of system it is possible to get Volkswagen in the service enterprise. It is recommended to use an original luggage carrier Volkswagen. If there is an intention to use any other luggage carrier, make sure that it will be possible to establish reliably it, without having caused harm to the car.

It is recommended to store the enclosed factory instruction of the manufacturer of a luggage carrier together with the logbook.

When it is necessary to remove basic cross-pieces

When it is not necessary a luggage carrier on a roof (economy of fuel, less aerodynamic noise).

When passing an automatic sink.

ATTENTION Before each trip check reliability of carving connections and other fastenings. If necessary tighten them and then periodically supervise their condition, for example, during stops on distant trips.

Cargo fastening

Cargo on a luggage carrier should be reliably fixed. In transit cargo on a roof the car center of gravity changes.

The most permissible load on a roof of the car makes 100 kg. This loading includes mass of basic system and mass of cargo.

Each basic cross-piece can bear no more than 50 kg; cargo should be evenly distributed on basic system.

At application of basic system with small bearing ability the permissible load on a roof cannot be used completely. The luggage carrier on a roof should be loaded only by cargo of such weight which is specified as the most admissible in the guide to luggage carrier installation.
