PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS

Tuatara HSC Awning

Model No. KC077-042

1.  When pitching the awning, position the vehicle so the 

awning is facing away from the wind. Remove the 
awning from its carry bag, untie fabric ties and unroll. 

2.  Attach the awning to the front zipper on the Rooftop 

Tent porch. It may require two people to reduce strain 
on the zipper. Once fully zipped, ensure that the rain 
flap is covering the zip to stop water from seeping 
through. 

3.  Assemble the 2 x TWIST-LOCK POLES. To erect the 

awning, insert the pole tip into the eyelets located at 
the front of the awning. 

4.  Attach the guy ropes to the top of the pole tip and 

peg out at a 45° angle. Adjust tri-tensioners to ensure 
adequate tension. 

5.  Adjust the poles to the height of your vehicle and 

ensure that the fabric is pulled taut.

6.  For extra weather protection, attach the guy ropes to 

the two side loops and peg out. If not using, roll-up 
the awning sides.

TO PACK DOWN

To make sure the awning 
stays in place insert the 
pegs into the ground at a 45° 
angle, not straight down.

1.  Ensure the awning is fully dry before packing away.

2.  Leave the guy ropes attached for faster pitching next 

time. Roll-up the side guy ropes so they store away 
neatly. 

3.  Carefully detach the front guy ropes and collapse the 

poles to the smallest size. 

4.  Unzip the awning ensuring the zips are supported so 

the zipper doesn’t get damaged.

5.  Fold and roll the awning to fit into the carry bag.
