PRE-INSTALLATION

1. Find a flat area to work. Open carton out. This will provide
a clean surface to work on whilst tent is being set up.

lay tent down with this side facing upwards. Remove four
rubber bungs.
3. Remove protective plastic coating from tent floor.
4. Release the four velcro securing straps and open tent
enough to access the mounting rails, installation kit, ladder
and cover which can found inside the tent.

5. The Ironman 4x4 Rooftop Tent can be installed to the
vehicle so that it opens to the rear or either side. This will
determine which way the mounting rails are fitted to the
tent floor.
The mounting rails need to be running at right angles to
the roof bars on the vehicle.
6. The mounting rails will need to be shortened if they are
required to be mounted across the tent from the hinge.
To do this place the mounting rails in position, with the
mounting holes lined up with the mounting holes in tent
floor.
Mark both ends of rail level with the edge of the tent and
cut to length.
7. Slide two 6mm Nyloc nuts into mounting rails and align
with mounting holes. Locate the mounting holes under the
mattress and insert the M6 x 40mm bolts and flat washers
from inside out.
