Installation Guide

• Crossbar Thickness: Each crossbar must be at least 1 ¹⁄₅ inches (3 cm) thick.

• Crossbar Spacing: The distance between the crossbars must be from 30 inches to 60 inches.

• Dynamic Weight Capacity:The dynamic weight capacity of a single crossbar must exceed 154 lbs(70 kg)

Lift the tent onto your crossbars (you will need a friend or two) with the tent handle facing towards the rear of your vehicle, and the hinges at the front of your vehicle.

Make Sure the tent is positioned approximately where you want it. Typically, if it looks right-it is! For SUVS and hatchbacks, open your truck and push the tent back until it just misses touching the open trunk. This allows you to be sure the tent won't interfere with your trunk's operation.

Prepare your mounting sets.

Insert an M8 bolt into a mounting plate (tracks facing up) and then attach a mounting U bracket (concave pointing up). Then attach a hex head bolt a little less than halfway. Repeat three more times.

Prepare four M8 bolt and plate sets by connecting an M8 bolt to a mounting plate. Repeat three more times.

With your 4 original mounting sets and U brackets, slide each into the mounting track. Ask a friend to help slightly lift the tent and slide the U brackets onto the inner side of the roof rack. Repeat for each corner of the tent.

Slide the M8 bolt and plate set into the mounting track, then secure it by inserting the M8 bolt through the U bracket. Repeat for each corner of the tent.

• Finger-tighten a black quick-release nuts onto the M8 bolt. Repeat for all four corners.

• Tighten the nuts evenly and snuggly making sure that before you do a final tightening of the nuts that you have your tents lined up on your vehicle's roof exactly where you want it.

Fully secure both the black quick-release nuts and the anti-slip nuts (with the blue rubber ring) at the screw ends. If there isn’t enough space for both, the anti-slip nuts must be installed.

• After tightening all the nuts, if the clearance between the U-bracket and the T-slot is less than 1/5 inch (5 mm), please contact us for assistance.

• Regularly inspect and re-tighten all nuts before each trip, especially if the tent has been mounted for an extended period.

• Install caps on the ends of the roof rack. These caps not only keep out dust and sand but also help reduce wind noise while driving.
