3.1. Make sure the roof bars are correctly spaced to accept the roof box and that they are the correct size to fit the metal hooks of the roofbox, (See fig.1).
3.2. The roof box must be lifted onto the vehicle by two people, (See fig.2).

3.3. Make sure that the roof box is placed along the centre line of the vehicle, (See fig.3).
3.4. The box is opened by turning the key anticlockwise. The key can only be removed when it is in the locked position, (See fig.4). RB500A can be opened from either side.

3.9. Unscrew the handle anticlockwise in order to release the metal hook (see fig.8).

3.10. Slide the fixing system (fig.9D) to the right or to the left (see fig.9C) in order to find the most suitable position of the metal hook on the roof bars, (see figs 9C and 9E).
3.11. Screw the handle clockwise (see fig.10) in order to secure the metal hook onto the roof bar and push the handle down to lock the system, see fig.10F. If the handle does not lock, lift the handle up, screw or unscrew (if the handle is too tight) and repeat the procedure above. Lock the safety catch (see fig.10G). Check carefully that the system is appropriately fixed and that the roof box does not move on the roof bars. After fixing all four hooks to the roof bars, insert the luggage straps through the loops placed on the body of the fixing system, (see fig.10H).

3.12. Distribute the load evenly in the roofbox. DO NOT place tall objects in the roofbox which will prevent it from closing correctly (see fig.11).
