! PLEASE PROVIDE A COPY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CUSTOMER !
IMPORTANT:
Vehicle bodies and vehicle specific installation can vary, so please read the following instructions as
they refer to important information, which could affect the quality of the final installation.
It is advisable to have the canopy fitted by an authorised dealer.
The majority of installation can be completed by one person, (however, at least 2 people will be
required to lift the canopy onto the vehicle).
FITMENT:
For Bed Liners, additional time for fitting is required and trimming of bed liners is required. Fitting with
under rail bed liners is recommended ONLY (ARB part number KUL1359 or Sport guard part
number 10051584).
In addition, it will suit Isuzu Genuine accessories under rail bed liner 94778436.
Cabin Guards and Sports Bars must be removed prior to canopy fitment. These components can
be returned to the customer if required.
When fitting the ARB canopy vent, fitment of the vent is easier prior to fitting the canopy to the
vehicle and before internal frame installations. The vent must be fitted to the front of the canopy
if a roof rack is to be fitted.
CARE OF YOUR CANOPY:
Please refer to the “owner’s manual supplement” to be given to the purchaser on installation, and to
details referred to in the second last page of these fitting instructions.
