FOLDING UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Empty all belongings from inside the roof-top tent.
2. Release all guy ropes and remove all the SSR for the window
covers and fl ysheet. Stow the SSR away.
3. Remove the spreader bars and store in the tent under
the mattress.
4. Zip close all the windows and door.
5. Take hold of the bottom section of the ladder and start lifting
it close to the tent. Keep the ladder as vertical as possible as
the tent base rotates to vertical, slowly allow the ladder to rest
against the tent base. It is important to maintain a smooth
controlled closing to allow all the air to escape, without
causing the sides to blow out.
6. Unplug the pin on the ladder to release the 2nd section of
the ladder. Slide in the 2nd section of the ladder and lock in
position using the pin.
7. Neatly tuck in excess canvas. Too much canvas sticking out
will make it diffi cult to close the zipper of the tent cover.
8. Fasten the hold-down velcro straps on each side of the tent.
9. Pull the cover over the tent, ensuring that the corners of the
board fi t snugly into the corners of the cover. Pull the zippers
to close the tent taking care not to catch the canvas or
polyester fl ysheet.
10. Tighten the webbing straps on the cover. Ensure that these
straps are always tightened as they play an important role
in reducing the wind resistance and bulge during high
speed travelling.
STORAGE OF THE TENT
1. If storing the tent off the vehicle, ensure that the tent is
completely dry before packing away.
2. Be careful not to drag the tent on the ground. This will damage
the cover and allow potential water leakage the next time
you use the roof-top tent.
Important:
1. Do not pull down excessively on the side retaining velcro
straps when closing the tent. These straps are designed to
hold the tent base together. When you are closing the tent,
hold down the top folded base to compact the tent, then use
the Velcro straps to secure the bases in this position. These
straps will tear out of the tent if excessive force is applied.
2. Do not store the tent if wet. If you do have to pack away the
tent while it is still wet, zip close all doors and windows to
protect the inside of the tent, and pack away. Open the tent as
soon as you can and let it dry thoroughly to prevent moisture
damage. Open up the tent occasionally to let it air out and
store the mattress in a dry area during extended periods
of wet weather. If the tent is to be closed and stored for an
extended period of time, it is very important that the tent and
mattress is kept completely dry before closing.
3. Do not drill locking holes below the existing locking pin holes
on the ladder. This will weaken the structure of the ladder
and can cause injury. If you need to extend the ladder length,
please purchase a ladder extension.
4. Be aware that with a roof-top tent fi tted to your vehicle the
overall height is increased. You should measure the overall
height with the roof-top tent fi tted as you will need this
information to decide if the vehicle can enter car parks etc.
5. Centre of gravity. The attachment of the roof-top tent to
your vehicle (similar to any other load on your roof rack)
will alter it's centre of gravity. Take this into consideration
when driving.
6. In-trip inspection. Regularly check that all nuts and bolts
attaching your roof-top tent are tight and in good condition.
