iKamper products are designed to make outdoor activities more convenient. Strict quality control and inspection are carried out to ensure the production
of safe products. However, there is always a risk of accidents during outdoor activities and you should always be careful about your safety. You should be
aware that misuse of the product may result in serious injury or death beyond property damage or personal injury. Your safety in certain situations depends
on your ability and your experience. Therefore, always be mindful of your surroundings and weather conditions. Because the equipment does not guarantee
your safety, you should be familiar with the use of the product in advance, have sufficient practice, and use it within the scope of capability and the
endurance limit of the equipment. If you have any questions about installation or use, please contact support@ikamper.com.
･ Make sure you have all the components after purchase.
･ Follow the directions provided and consult iKamper support if further assistance is needed.
･ Use caution when moving the product as it is heavy.
･ Be sure to wear safety gloves and protective shoes.
･ If you have any health issues, do not attempt to install the product yourself.
･ The roof rack of some vehicles may not be suitable for installing roof top tents.
･ Fully familiarize yourself with the mounting instructions before attempting to do so by yourself.
(See pages 10-13 or visit the website for mounting video).
･ If you have any further questions about the installation, please contact a sales representative. Mounting
Driving ･ Ensure the tent is securely mounted before driving the vehicle. Accidents and/or damage can occur if mounting brackets are not secure.
･ Make sure the hardshell is completely closed and latches are secured before driving.
･ The top recommended speed is 70 mph (110 km/h).
･ The speed of the vehicle may vary depending on the driving conditions such as the type and condition of road, weather (wind, rain), and speed limits.
･ Refrain from using the tent in severe weather conditions (hurricane, heavy rain, heavy snow, etc) when possible.
･ Reduce speed and use caution when driving on uneven roads or over speed bumps.
･ For vehicles with weak roof racks, special care is required as the roof rack may be broken while driving
･ If you enter an area with low vertical clearance, be mindful of the additional height on your vehicle with the tent mounted. The tent and vehicle may be
damaged if you do not account for the full height requirements.
･ Do not drive the vehicle with the tent deployed.
･ Note that excessive force on the product during installation may cause damage.
･ Using damaged products may lead to safety accidents. Contact iKamper After Service if you believe that your product is damaged.
･ The ladder acts as a support for the tent. Inspect the locks of each step of the ladder to be sure it is stable and secure before use.
If the step locks are not secured or the ladder is unstable when used, it may cause damage to the product and/or cause physical injury.
･ The ground on which the tent is deployed should be flat and firm. Avoid uneven or sloping places where the ladder is at risk of being moved, such as
rocks, sand, mud, or gravel. Installation
Use ･ Do not leave children alone or unsupervised in the tent.
･ Be careful not to fall when using the ladder.
･ The ladder steps can be slippery due to rain, mud, dirt and/or ice.
･ Never use flammables inside the tent.
･ Do not set up the tent near a campfire or fire pit. Stray embers may damage your tent, and pose the risk of creating a fire.
･ The tent fabric is a cotton blend and can be affected by prolonged exposure to moisture or rain. This is not a product defect and is a natural characteristic
of poly-cotton. (For more information, please see the enclosed document with seam sealer.)
･ For safety, the tent should not be used in winds exceeding 23mph (10m/sec, 20knot).
･ Refrain from using the tent in severe weather conditions (hurricane, heavy rain, heavy snow, etc) when possible.
･ Be sure the tent is completely dry before storing.
･ Long-term storage in wet conditions can cause fungus, odor, and discoloration, reducing the life of the product.
･ It is possible in rare cases that slight leaking may occur around seams during heavy rain and wind due to the construction of poly-cotton canvas. (This line was
duplicated in the draft you shared).
･ Be sure to remove any dirt, debris, or foreign substances, as these can damage the product. Maintenance
･ Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements such as dust, snow, rain, dew, mineral deposits, etc. can cause the hardshell gloss to become worn out.
Apply a wax coating once every 2 months to help to prevent this.
･ Keep protected from the elements when not in use. Do not leave rain or allow snow to melt on your hardshell.
