YOUR PULL OUT AWNING HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR UNIVERSAL FITMENT TO MOST MAKES AND MODELS OF FOUR WHEEL DRIVES AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. YOUR AWNING CAN BE MOUNTED IN 4 DIFFERENT STYLES AND OUTLINED BELOW. YOUR AWNING CAN EITHER BE MOUNTED DIRECTLY TO A ROOF RACK, ON THE ALUMINUM CROSS RAILS PROVIDED (BEST FOR ROOF BAR/RAIL SYSTEMS), DIRECTLY ONTO ROOF RAILS THAT RUN ACROSS THE VEHICLE OR DIRECTLY TO THE TOP OF A REIN-FORCED CANOPY. IT IS IMPORTANT WHEN MOUNTING THE AWNING TO ENSURE IT IS POSITIONED TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE VEHICLE DOORS TO OPEN.

AWNING INSTALLATION OPTION 1

MOUNTING DIRECTLY TO A ROOF RACK

Slide the small bolts into the mounting rail of the awning.
With help from another person, hold the aw-ning in the place and mark the mounting holes for the awning, it is best to have the mounting bolts as far apart as possible.
Carefully drill the holes into the roof rack.
Align awning into desired position and tighten the nuts.
Re-check all nuts and bolts periodically.
Alternatively if mounting the awning to a roof top tent rack the “L” shaped brackets may be used as seen below (Similar to option 3), by bolting the long side of these brackets to the underside of the flat plates where the roof rack meets the roof rack brackets.

AWNING INSTALLATION OPTION 2

UTILIZING THE ALUMINUM MOUNTING RAILS

(RECOMMENDED FOR ROOF BARS/RAIL THAT RUN LENGTHWAYS FRONT TO BACK ON THE VEHICLE).

Install the long bolts into the slide plates, and slide 2 plates into each corner of the mountin rails.
Sit both cross braces on the roof bars/roof rack rails central, the 2 slide plates each corner will sit either side of the roof rails, with a base plate underneath to clamp to each rail. One end of the cross braces will have 2 holes drilled on the flat side to suit the “L” shaped brackets, this end is for the awning mount and goes to side of the vehicle to which the awning will be mounted. Both braces should be separated as far as possible to provide stability.
Ensure that the cross braces are positioned to allow the awning to be reached easily, and is also clear of moving parts. If required the mounting rails can be marked and cut down shorter, depending on the width of the roof rails.
Loosely fit the base clamping plate under the Rail or Bar and fit a nyloc nut on each bolt on each end of both braces as seen to the right, as to clamp the rail. It is best not to fully tighten the nut yet to allow adjustment when finished.
Slide 2 x 6mm nyloc nuts into the rail on the flat side of each of the mounting ends of the cross braces so they line up with the 2 mount-ing holes
Using the small bolts, mount the long side of the “L” shaped brackets to the cross braces, screwing the bolts into the nuts inserted in step 5
Slide the small bolts into the mounting rail of the awning
With help from another person, hold the awning in the place na dline up the 8mm bolts inserted in step 6 with the “L” shape bracket and fit nylock nuts.

Insert rubber end caps into cross braces
Re-check all nuts and bolts periodically

Holding the awning in your hands, unroll it to its full length, taking care as you get to the end as the 2 legs may have come loose during travel. Pull the extensions of the rather arms out longer as you unroll the awning
Carefully release the legs from inside the channel, and with one hand holding the centre of the awning, set each leg to the desired height and twist the bottom half of the leg to lock.
Whilst holding the awning end beam with one arm, slide out each other arm, align the end pin into the end beam holes and twist the arm to lock in position.
Fix the awning material to the rather arms using the Velcro straps
Using the pegs and guy ropes secure the awning front beam diagonally outwards to secure the legs
