GENERAL INFO AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Incorrect installation or use of your awning could result in serious injury or death. Follow the
installation instructions to ensure the awning is installed correctly. Follow the set up and pack down
instructions carefully. It is recommended that you contact your vehicle and/or accessory manufacturer
for specified loading and capacity of your vehicle’s roof capacity and the rack capacity. Unfortunately,
not all vehicles and roof racks can safely accommodate all models.
LOCATE MOUNTING LOCATIONS
ON ROOF RACK
Kakadu
™
recommends this awning to be installed
with 2-3 people. It is also recommended to use
an experienced aftermarket 4X4 accessories
fitter to mount the awning to your rack.
The maximum distance recommended from the
mounting bracket to the end of the awning
is 11.81 inches. Ensure the brackets are spaced
evenly on the awning.
MOUNTING BRACKETS TO ROOF
RACK
Using the supplied M8 bolts/T bolts, nuts and
spring washers - mount the brackets to the
roof rack system. These brackets have been
carefully designed to fit most common roof rack
configurations. However, the increasing amount
of roof rack designs available in the market
makes it difficult to supply a bracket to fit all
racks. The examples below show the brackets
being mounted to different rack options. It is
recommended to discuss specific mounting
options and load capacities with a roof rack
specialist. Ensure you attach the brackets at the
same distance out from the car so the awning
will mount straight. Failure to do so may result
in the backboard bending which isn’t covered
under warranty. It is recommended to use a
straight edge or measuring tape to check this
before you finish tightening the bolts and nuts.
