- റബ്ബർ സ്ട്രിപ്പുകൾ തിരുകുക: The included rubber strips serve two purposes: a padding strip at the top protects items from sliding, and a strip at the bottom helps reduce wind noise. Insert these into the designated channels on the top and bottom of the aluminum bars. The top strip protrudes slightly to protect your items.
- വാഹനത്തിന്റെ സ്ഥാനം: Place the assembled roof bars onto your vehicle's open roof rails. Adjust the spacing between the front and rear bars according to the cargo you intend to carry and your vehicle's recommendations. Ensure the bars are parallel to each other.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
Once installed, your MENABO BRIO roof bars are ready to transport various types of cargo, such as ski equipment, bicycles, or luggage boxes. Always adhere to the following guidelines:
- ലോഡ് സുരക്ഷ: Always use appropriate straps, nets, or other securing devices to firmly attach your cargo to the roof bars. Ensure cargo cannot shift during transit.
