Note: Use caution in windy

Batwing Awning is open.

Important Information

Recommendations

It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you fi rst install your 

Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning. Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals depending on road 

conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled.  You should also check the roof bars each time they are refi tted.

Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.

Please remove Batwing Awning and crossbars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.

Do not stow away the awning for long periods if it is wet. You must allow the awning material to dry completely 

before storing for extended periods of time. When rolling up the awning, avoid excessive bunching up of the 

material before stowing. The awning should be rolled up as neatly as possible following the instruction on page 9. 

Torque settings 

Unless stated otherwise in these instructions, all fasteners should be set to the following torque settings -

M6: 4-5Nm (3-4lbs/ft), M8: 8-10Nm (6-7.5lbs/ft) and M10: 16-18Nm (12-13lbs/ft).

Load Ratings

With the addition of the Batwing Awning, the load capacity of your crossbars will have to be adjusted accordingly. 

The Batwing Awning with mounting brackets weighs approximately 20kg.
