☐
Slot your chosen length M8 Bolts into the 8x Mounting Channel Slide Plates and slide the plates
into the two Mounting Channels on the underside of your Hawk’s Nest (4 bolts/slide plates per
mounting channel).
☐
Using the Mounting Brackets, choose the two holes in the bracket that suit the width of your
roof rack bar best. Using the 2x M8 Bolts (now hanging from your mounting channels) & the M8
Nyloc Nuts, clamp the tent to the roof rack as pictured. You will need to lift the front & rear end of
the tent to slide the M8 bolts through to the inside of the roof rack bars. These Mounting brackets
should be positioned on the most forward & rearward roof rack bars, with two brackets clamped
per bar.
☐
Tighten the M8 Mounting Nuts evenly and firmly using the 13mm spanner. Your Mounting
Bracket should flex ever so slightly to create a spring force keeping the nuts tight.
☐
IMPORTANT: Check your Mounting Hardware with a 13mm Spanner after your first 15 - 30km’s of
driving.
☐
IMPORTANT: Regularly check all mounting hardware of your Hawk’s Nest. Including your roof rack
