General safety instructions
D
DANGER! Failure to obey this instruction will cause
death or serious injury.
Hazard of carbon monoxide poisoning
• Never use a fuel-burning appliance such as barbecues or
gas heaters inside the tent. The burning process produces
carbon monoxide which accumulates inside the tent as
there is no flue.
!
WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could
result in death or serious injury.
Fire hazard
• Make sure you know the fire precaution arrangements on
the site.
• Do not cook inside the tent or use open flames.
• Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent fabric.
Beware of suffocation
• Make sure ventilation openings are open all the time to
avoid suffocation.
Risk of injury
• This device is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities.
• Do not allow children to play around or in the tent and
ensure that they are careful when using the ladder.
• Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by
unsupervised children.
• Always check the weather forecast before you set up and
use the rooftop tent.
–
Do not use the rooftop tent if a storm or a thunder-
storm is announced.
– If you get caught in a thunderstorm, immediately leave
the rooftop tent and get yourself to safety in your
vehicle. Stay in your vehicle until the thunderstorm is
over to avoid being struck by lightning.
– Do not set up, use or fold down the rooftop tent if it is
very windy.
– Do not fold down the rooftop tent during heavy rain.
• Do not use the rooftop tent if any part or any of its compo-
nents is visibly damaged. Contact the manufacturer for
assistance.
• Only use tested (e.g. GS-tested) roof racks that are
approved for use with your vehicle.
• Before mounting the rooftop tent, make sure that your
vehicle and your roof rack offer sufficient load capacity for
the rooftop tent and the persons and objects intended to
be inside the rooftop tent.
I
NOTE
• Always keep the vehicle and roof rack manuals with you
and follow their instructions.
Safety when transporting the rooftop tent on the
rooftop of a vehicle
!
WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could
result in death or serious injury.
Risk of injury
• Only drive with the rooftop tent on the rooftop of your
vehicle if the rooftop tent is folded down and covered cor-
rectly with the tent cover.
• Do not drive faster than 110 km/h (88 mph) with the roof-
top tent on the rooftop of your vehicle.
• At the beginning of each trip and at regular intervals
during each trip, check that the rooftop tent is firmly
attached to the roof rack and that the tent cover is safely
secured. An incorrectly mounted roof rack or rooftop tent
can fall off during the journey and injure other road users.
• Store the ladder correctly on top of the folded rooftop
tent and under the tent cover to prevent the ladder from
falling off and injuring other road users during the journey.
• Adjust your driving behavior (e.g. crosswind sensitivity,
cornering, and braking behavior) to accommodate the
change in vehicle height.
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• The rooftop tent increases the vehicle height. Beware of
low entrances, low bridges, low hanging branches and
other obstacles.
• Remove the rooftop tent and the roof rack when using an
automatic car wash.
