2. FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following instructions which include four of the most common methods for fitting the Square
Side 270° to your vehicle. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the awning is securely fastened and
safe for use as well as vehicle travel. It is important when mounting the awning to ensure that all the mounting
brackets supplied are spaced far enough apart to adequately support the weight of the awning. When you
are positioning the awning check that there is enough clearance for the vehicle doors to open. Remember to
check vehicle roof and roof rack load capacities prior to fitting accessories to your vehicle. Take into account
when mounting vehicle roof accessories that off-road travel increases the dynamic stresses on your vehicle.
For more information on load carrying capacities contact the applicable manufacturer.
2.1 OPTION 1: MOUNTING DIRECTLY TO A ROOF RACK
1. Slide the bolts supplied in the awning kit into
the top and bottom t-slots on the mounting rail
using the central clearance hole.
See Figure 1.
2. With assistance from another person hold
the awning in the desired position and mark the
mounting holes in the roof rack. Check that the
vehicle doors can be opened and closed. The
mounting holes in the roof rack plates should be
vertically spaced 33mm apart to suit the awning
backing plate. Fit as many of the supplied bolts
as possible.
3. Ensuring that the hole marks are vertically
spaced 33mm apart then using a centre punch,
centre mark each hole.
4. Once centre marked, drill out the holes to suit
supplied bolts. Use correct PPE when operating
power tools.
See Figure 2.
5. Align the awning in the desired position and
guide bolts through roof rack mounting holes.
Tighten the supplied nuts to secure awning.
See
Figure 3.
6. Regularly recheck the nuts and bolts to ensure
they are tight and in good condition.
