2. FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following instructions which include four of the most common methods for tting the Square
Side 270° to your vehicle. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the awning is securely fastened and
safe for use as well as vehicle travel. It is important when mounting the awning to ensure that all the mounting
brackets supplied are spaced far enough apart to adequately support the weight of the awning. When you
are positioning the awning check that there is enough clearance for the vehicle doors to open. Remember to
check vehicle roof and roof rack load capacities prior to tting accessories to your vehicle. Take into account
when mounting vehicle roof accessories that off-road travel increases the dynamic stresses on your vehicle.
For more information on load carrying capacities contact the applicable manufacturer.
2.1 OPTION 1: MOUNTING DIRECTLY TO A ROOF RACK
1. Slide the bolts supplied in the awning kit into
the top and bottom t-slots on the mounting rail
using the central clearance hole. See Figure 1.
2. With assistance from another person hold
the awning in the desired position and mark the
mounting holes in the roof rack. Check that the
vehicle doors can be opened and closed. The
mounting holes in the roof rack plates should be
vertically spaced 33mm apart to suit the awning
backing plate. Fit as many of the supplied bolts
as possible.
3. Ensuring that the hole marks are vertically
spaced 33mm apart then using a centre punch,
centre mark each hole.
4. Once centre marked, drill out the holes to suit
supplied bolts. Use correct PPE when operating
power tools. See Figure 2.
5. Align the awning in the desired position and
guide bolts through roof rack mounting holes.

4. Whilst holding the awning poles and the canvas
at the front, begin to walk in an arc towards the
rear of the vehicle allowing the awning to rotate
around the rear pivot. Once the rst triangular
section of canvas is tight and the rst pole won’t
rotate anymore you can un-clip and lower the
vertical twist lock pole. See Figure 12 & 13.
FIGURE 13FIGURE 14FIGURE 15FIGURE 16
5. Continue to walk in an arc and lower each
vertical twist lock pole as each triangular canvas
section becomes tight. See Figure 14.
6. Once the awning is in its open position, hook
the tension strap onto a suitable spot on the
vehicle and pull tight. This will hold tension in the
awning canvas. See Figure 15.
7. Once the tension strap is tted and the awning
is tight, go back around to the front of the awning.
Find the square side horizontal pole and rotate
it out, opposite to the other horizontal poles to
complete the nal square side shape. After this
has been opened t in the two spreader poles to
keep the square corner tight. See Figure 16, 17,
18, 19 and 20.

5. CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to packing away the Square Side 270° awning ensure that the vehicle is stationary with the
handbrake applied and that the awning setup area has been cleared of any obstacles or trip hazards.
Packing up of the Square Side 270° is the reverse order of the setup instructions.

easier.
• If strong winds or extreme weather are about to hit your camp, pack up the awning immediately
