•
Stand at the back of the tent
where you attached your latches.
Tilt the back of the tent up and
slide in 2 T Bolts per mounting rail
into the centre portion of the tent,
and between your two mounting
rails (4 total). Let the tent down
softly. Important note on proper
insertion: The wide edge of the T Bolt
should be entered into the mounting
rail, not the shorter edge.
(Figure F)
•
Now walk around and insert 1
T Bolt into the mounting rail on
each corner. These will sit on the
outside of your crossbars/rack.
•
Next you need to centre the tent,
finding the desirable location – it is
OK to have some overhang to the
front or the rear, but we want to
keep that to a maximum of
1/3 of
the tent. (
Figure G)
•
Stand at the front of your vehicle
and make sure it is centered side
to side. Then repeat this standing
at the back of your vehicle.
•
Keep repeating until you are
satisfied.

Once we have found the desired
mounting location, we must install
our mounting brackets. Start on
any corner.
•
Take one of the sliders from inside
the centre channel, and the one
from the outside, and attach the
lower bracket with two nuts. Do
not tighten yet – only thread them
on. Repeat that step 3 times on
all corners, giving you 4 mounting
locations.
(Figure H)
•
Now you need to tighten the
nuts. The tightening sequence
for the mounting hardware is 4
rotations on inner nut, followed by
4 rotations on the outer nut, and
repeating until tightened evenly.
This ensures an equal tightening
sequence. You will know you have
tightened enough when you see
the bottom bracket start to deflect
slightly. Do not tighten one side at
a time - this will create an uneven
clamping load.
•
Repeat on the other 3 mounting
locations.
Important Warning: It is
important to note that this
tent has a Max traveling speed
of 120km/h when installed.
Please adhere to this guideline
to ensure your safety, and your
tent’s integrity.
