User manual TakeOff
Always make sure that during the
process of opening and closing of the
roof, there are no children or bystan-
ders, other than the users, in the vicinity
of the TakeOff. Users must have care-
fully read this manual before taking
the TakeOff into use. The great forces
that possibly take place on the lifting
mechanism and the gas springs during
opening and closing may cause serious
personal injury. Therefore one should
ensure a clear overview of the vicinity
of the TakeOff during opening and
closing. The user is always responsible
for any personal injury if these rules are
not observed .
Opening the roof
• Open the back door-steps by turning the
key a quarter turn counter-clockwise and
carefully lowering the steps down to the
stop. Never drop the steps.
Be careful not to place your hands or
fingers on the hinge points when
opening the steps!
The steps, integrated in the entrance
door, were designed to carry one adult
person. Never stand on the steps with
two persons at a time do not allow
children to jump on the steps.
• Turn the key a quarter clockwise to re-
move it from the door.
• Pull the two knobs at the front of the roof
locking, which can be found to the left
and right in the recess in the side of the
roof, out and turn them 90 degrees so
they remain in extended position.
• Simultaneously pull the 2 knobs, situated
in the handles on the inside of the roof,
down until the rear locking is released.
• Patiently pull the roof up, while starting
this action kneeling down. If this does
not work, the roof has not been entirely
unlocked yet. In the beginning you will
need to apply more power, but as soon
as the large gas springs have crossed
their “dead point”, they will assist you in
moving the roof up.
• Help the roof to unfold by pushing up,
with two hands at the same time, under
the back of the roof.
