SET UP
*It is recommended to have 2 people to set up
the awning in normal conditions. For windy and
bad weather conditions, we recommend to not
set the awning up to avoid damage. Kakadu
™
accepts no liability for damages caused when
this isn’t followed.
1. Gently roll the awning out to its full extent.
Hold in position while a second person pivots
the rafter poles out from the backboard and
swings around to the awning. Untwist the
rafter poles and insert into the awning. Pivot
the upright poles from the awning’s channel
and adjust to desired height.
2. With someone still holding the awning, have
a second person fix the awning material to
the rafter poles with the hook and loop straps
along the side. Secure the awning with guy
ropes onto the corner points with terrain
appropriate pegs.
PACK UP
*It is recommended to have 2 people to pack
down the awning in normal conditions. In windy
conditions, we recommend to have 4 people
packing up to avoid damage to the awning.
Kakadu
™
accepts no liability for damages caused
when this isn’t followed.
1. With one person holding the awning, remove
all ropes and pegs securing the awning.
2. Undo all hook and loop straps straps securing
the canvas to the rafter poles. With 1-2 people
holding the awning, adjust the upright poles
to their smallest length and pivot back into
the awning’s channel. Then remove the rafter
poles from the awning’s channel and adjust
down to its smallest length and pivot back into
the awning’s backboard.
3. With 2 people, roll up the awning back into
the backboard. Secure the awning into the
backboard with the three hook and loop
straps. Pull down the PVC cover over the top
of the packed up awning and zip up.
TIP: In rainy weather conditions, it is recommend
to drop one upright pole down slightly to allow for
water to run off easier.
ATTACH AWNING TO BRACKETS
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. All mounting hardware on both the awning
and roof rack should be checked regularly to
ensure they are always mounted securely.
1. With the awning placed on a clean surface,
insert the supplied M6 bolts into the aluminium
backing plate at the correct locations.
2. Then with 2-3 people, lift the awning up and
line the bolts up to the brackets and push
through. Using the supplied M6 nuts, tighten
the awning firmly onto the brackets.
PROLONGED TRAVELLING ON UNEVEN,
ROUGH OR CORRUGATED TERRAIN
WILL REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT
INSPECTIONS
NOTE: Kakadu
™
takes no responsibility for the
fitment of the awning to any vehicle or roof rack.
TIP: The carry bag is designed to sit tight around the
awning. This will ensure the awning is firmly secured
and will lower the chance of rubbing when in transit.
