Awning installation
Your awning comes pre-assembl ed but needs some easy to handle final steps
before it is ready to be mounted to your car.
Step by Step mounting:
Hint:
There are basically four ways how to fix the mounting brackets to your car.
With the use of a Roof Tent you simply slide them into the existing tent rails.
Alternatively, you need to fix the brackets directly to your roof rack by either drilling holes,
make use of your racks mounting tracks or fix them directly to your basket without any L-
brackets.
The position of the mounting brackets has an effect on the height of your awning:
You can adjust the height by installing the
brackets facing up or downwards.
Please make sure downwards facing brackets are
not in the way of your side doors.

Fix awning mounting brackets to roof tent rails:
Use the groove of the roof tent mounting rail to
slide in the mounting brackets with the M6 bolts in
place.
The head of the bolt will be held in place from the
roof tent mounting rail.
Slide them to the desired position and fix the
bracket with fitting nuts to the mounting rails.
We recommend to use roof tent mounting rails to
fix our 1.4m awning to the rear of your car.

Fix awning mounting brackets to roof racks without mounting tracks:
Place the L-brackets on top of your rack.
Make sure all L-brackets are aligned and have
the desired distance to your car before you mark
the drilling holes on your rack.
Drill at least 2 holes for each bracket. We highly
recommend to take the racks off your car for this
procedure.
Fix the brackets to your rack by using M6 bolts at
the necessary length and tensile strength.

Fix awning mounting brackets to roof racks with mounting tracks:
Many roof racks have a mounting track system
that allows to use sliding bolts to fix the L-
brackets.
Make sure the sliding bolts have the necessary
size (M6) to fit the mounting brackets.
Position the brackets on top of the rack and fix
them with washer, split ring and nut.
Fix awning directly to a roof basket:
You can fix the awning on a vertical surface by
simply drilling 4 holes with the desired distance
and use the sliding bolts to fix the awning
directly to your car/basket.
Check the integrity of the surface you plan to
mount the awning to first.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend that the awning has on neither side no more than 50cm overhang to avoid
any kind of wobble during driving. It may be necessary to use 3 mounting brackets for long
awnings and/or heavy off-road use. Prepare and choose your roof rack accordingly.

Fix the awning to the mounting brackets:
Now that the brackets are in place, you need to
put the remaining 4 M6 bolts into the groove of
the backside of the awning.
Space the bolts to the distance of your mounting
brackets on the car.
Make sure the awning is the right way around.
Use two persons to lift it in place and fix the bolts
at the back of the mounting plate to the mounting
brackets.
Fix the awning to the mounting brackets with M6
bolts.
IMPORTANT:
Tighten all the nuts and make sure your Awning is securely fixed.
It is mandatory to check the awning before, during and after each trip that it is securely
mounted.

Awning operation
Our awnings are designed to provide reliable shelter in an instant, be it for a
quick roadside rest or to pitch camp at a remote location for the long term.
IMPORTANT:
All our products are manufactured to the highest standards and precision. They do not
require any form of force during the process of opening or closing of your awning. In case
you face a problem, please check for obstacles, fouling, foreign objects or to much tension
first.
Step by step instruction how to open your awning:
Choose a beautiful spot to park your car.
Make sure the surface is flat and not in the risk of
falling branches or flooding.
Secure your car by keeping it in first gear or
parking AND put on the hand brake.
Avoid unsafe places.
Open the travel cover and release the straps.

Hint:
We recommend two persons to open and close the awning.
One person should hold the awning in place whilst the other one is installing the frame
work.
Unroll the awning completely and hold it in place.
All poles are hinged and telescopic.
They lock and unlock with a slight twist.
Unfold the horizontal poles.
Feed them into the designated opening on the
outer frame and extend them to tension the awning
material.
Unfold the vertical poles and put them on the
ground.

Lock them at the desired hight with a slight twist
movement.
Fix the awning material to the frame with the
Velcro fasteners.
Use ropes and pegs to fix the awning securely to
the ground.
During rain and unsupervised periods, always
lower one leg to allow rainwater to run off the
awning and avoid pooling.
