Frequently Asked Questions - Nova 600 Calix

How do I install the Calix Nova 600 roof box?

Installation requires roof racks. Place the box on the roof bars, adjust the clamps to fit the bar separation (X_min 445 mm to X_max 1115 mm for this model), and tighten the hooks until both meet the roof rack. Ensure all four attachment points are secured. Refer to the manual for step-by-step diagrams.

What is the maximum load capacity of the Nova 600?

The maximum load capacity is 75 kg. However, you must also consider the weight of the box (29 kg) and the vehicle's maximum roof load as specified in your car's manual.

Can I use the roof box in the rain?

The box is water resistant but not completely waterproof. It can withstand light rain, but heavy or prolonged exposure may allow some moisture inside. It is recommended to pack items in waterproof bags for extra protection.

How do I lock the roof box?

Close the lid fully so that the top covers the bottom. Use the key to lock the central lock mechanism. You should not be able to push the top upward when properly locked.

Is the interior light included?

The interior light is an optional feature. If equipped, it uses a touch sensor to turn on/off. The battery can be changed by sliding the lamp sideways.

What is the speed limit when driving with the roof box?

The maximum recommended speed is 130 km/h. Always adhere to local speed limits and reduce speed in crosswinds, when cornering, or braking.

How do I clean and maintain the roof box?

Clean the box with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness and ensure the locking mechanism functions smoothly.

What should I do if the roof box does not fit my roof bars?

Ensure the roof bar cross section is between 22 mm and 32 mm. The box clamps are adjustable for bars of these sizes. If your bars are outside this range, you may need adapter brackets or different roof bars.

Can I mount the box on any car?

The box can be mounted on most cars with roof rails or cross bars. However, always check your vehicle's maximum roof load capacity in the owner's manual. The combined weight of the box (29 kg) plus cargo must not exceed the vehicle's limit.

What items can I store in the roof box?

The box is suitable for luggage, camping gear, sports equipment, and other bulky items. All items must be secured with the provided loading straps. Avoid storing extremely heavy or sharp objects that could damage the box.
