INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on your purchase of the 1800 XL Awning. Your awning is designed to be mounted directly to your roof rack or aftermarket roof bar. It deploys and fully setup in just a few minutes. The Awning is made using the best materials and construction methods that will provide excellent protection from the elements.
WARNING
Incorrect installation or use of your awning could result in damage to awning,
furthermore, serious injury or death. Please follow these installation
instructions carefully to ensure proper installation on your vehicle. It is
recommended that you contact your vehicle or accessory manufacturer for
specified loading capacity of your roof rack. Unfortunately, not all factory
roof racks, or aftermarket roof bars can safely accommodate all models.
Accessory add ons, such as awnings can change the normal vehicle handling. The
purchaser assumes all risks and responsibility in case of any accidents due to
improper use, improper maintenance, or checking the tightness of the brackets
regarding the installation of the roof rack system. Inspection: It is
recommended that you regularly check all nuts and bolts related to the
mounting system of your awning and vehicle that they are tight and in good
repair, prolonged use on rough and corrugated terrain will require more
regular inspection. Structural Integrity: The Awning is Self-Supporting and is
designed for general camping under normal conditions and is recommended that
the supplied guy lines are used to provide additional support at the end of
each arm. To avoid the chance of damage or injury it is recommended that the
awning should not be erected during windy conditions. We recommend to conceal
the awning past 25mph winds. Damage caused by incorrect installation or
adverse weather conditions will not be covered by warranty
CLEANING & STORAGE
- Use cold water with a soft bristle brush, DO NOT use Soaps, Bleaches, or any other abrasive cleaners as this may result in damage to the fabric.
- Avoid storing your awning&walls when wet. If conditions dictate that you do, open, and dry out as soon as possible to avoid mildew.
SAFETY WARNING
- KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THE AWNING&WALL MATERIALS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD ANY NAKED FLAME SOURCES OR HEATING DEVICES BE USED INSIDE OR NEAR THE AWNING

ATTACHING BRACKET TO ROOF-RACK
Awning brackets have been designed to fit most common roof rack
configurations. However, with the ever increasing number of roof rack designs
available it is difficult to supply a mounting bracket to accommodate all.
Below are examples of how to mount the 180 XL Awning brackets to Flat style
and Basket style roof racks. The bracket can also be mounted on roof bars,
however, additional specific attachments may need to be sourced from your roof
rack supplier. If in doubt, visit your roof rack specialist for specific roof
rack mounting options and advice on load capacities.
ATTACH AWNING TO BRACKET
Recommend using an experienced after-market 4×4 Accessories fitter to mount
the Awning to your vehicle. Fasteners and fixing connections should be checked
regularly on both the awning and roof rack to ensure the awning is always
mounted securely to your vehicle roof rack.
Warning
Ensure the unsupported ends of the awning do not exceed 500mm.
Body Armor 4X4 takes no responsibility for the fitment of the Awning to any
vehicle or roof rack.
Insert supplied 25mm M8 bolts into grooves in aluminium backing plate.
PROLONGED TRAVELING ON UNEVEN ROUGH OR CORRUGATED TERRAIN WILL REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT INSPECTIONS.
