USER GUIDE

13 - INTERNAL COMPONENTS

Before every journey, make sure that the elevating 

roof is closed properly, that it cannot open by itself 

and that it is locked.
If the elevating roof is elevated or not secured when 

the vehicle is in motion, the roof could catch against 

trees, signs, masts, car park entrances or other 

objects, ripping off and causing severe damage to the 

vehicle and third party property.
Before closing the elevating roof, always close the 

zip fasteners and the Velcro straps on the ventilation 

openings.
Open a window or the entrance door before closing 

the elevating roof. This prevents a build-up of trapped 

air from forming. If a build-up of trapped air forms, the 

mechanical components could damage the canvas.
Ensure that the canvas is not trapped between the 

elevating roof and the vehicle roof.
If the vehicle is not to be used for a prolonged period:
•  Air the interior thoroughly every 3 weeks. The 

elevating roof must be open for this.

•  Set up de-humidifiers (granulate). Follow the 

manufacturer’s instructions.

If the humidity in the interior is higher for an extended 

period, mildew and mould can form.

The elevating roof is lifted on one side.

Passage to the elevating roof

When the elevating roof is closed, it is secured by a 

quick-action turnbuckle with additional snap lock on 

the left and right side.

Opening the elevating roof:
•  Open the snap lock (fig. 1,1) on both sides. In order 

to do this, press the grey tongue (fig. 3,4).

•  On each side, fold out the handle (fig. 1,2) of the 

quick-action turnbuckle (fig. 1,3) and turn a quarter 

turn in an anticlockwise direction. Thus, the lock is 

released.

•  Press slightly against the elevating roof. The 

elevating roof swivels upwards autonomously.

Fig. 1 - Lock (elevating roof)

a

The zip fasteners or Velcro straps of the venti-

lation openings in the canvas of the elevating roof 

can be opened for additional ventilation.

NOTE

To ensure the necessary ventilation, in case the 

vehicle is used with the closed elevating roof, it is 

necessary to install the special ventilation grilles 

(a), supplied, on the cab windows.
