perform this walkaround make sure that all jacks, hoses, cords, etc are safely detached and or stowed properly. 
 

    

 

 

4. At the center front exterior push the exterior latch in place 

 push it until the pin is past the spring latch. Make sure that the roof is centered 

within guides. Some of you will be able to insert the clevis pin at this point. If it is too much wrestling wait on this til after step 5! 

 

5. Enter the trailer and latch the side latches. Make sure the thumb catch is caught so that J-bolts cannot pop open!

 

 

 

You must roll tented side fabric (See (3) Below) first to ensure side latches do NOT catch and/or tear/cut fabric walls while latching.  
Be sure to carefully roll and tuck the fabric side walls into the unit when lowering the roof.  Otherwise, the tented fabric is likely to 

catch on the roof’s interior fastening clamps, causing rips and tears. 

 

Rips and tears and other damage caused by improperly closing 

the roof are excluded under the Taxa Inc. Limited Warranty.  

See 

“Limited Warranty” section herein.  

 

 
WARNING: BE SURE TO WATCH YOUR HANDS AND FINGERS WHEN SECURING LATCHES. 

 

 
 

INSTRUCTIONS TO TAKE OUT AND INSTALL A TENT SIDE ……

 

 
Your Cricket tent side is your friend. It keeps you dry in the rain and shaded from the sun. 
Sometimes a bird may poop on it, or maybe your daughter heaves a mud ball, it misses their brother and hits 

the tent side …… (taking the 

tent off and spraying it with a hose usually takes care of these things). 
Sometimes, if not correctly installed, it can actually cause your Cricket to leak during storage. 
It goes on and off really easily. You should be comfortable in doing so. It only takes a few moments in either direction.
