PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
Tuatara HSC Awning
Model No. KC077-042
1. When pitching the awning, position the vehicle so the
awning is facing away from the wind. Remove the
awning from its carry bag, untie fabric ties and unroll.
2. Attach the awning to the front zipper on the Rooftop
Tent porch. It may require two people to reduce strain
on the zipper. Once fully zipped, ensure that the rain
ap is covering the zip to stop water from seeping
through.
3. Assemble the 2 x TWIST-LOCK POLES. To erect the
awning, insert the pole tip into the eyelets located at
the front of the awning.
4. Attach the guy ropes to the top of the pole tip and
peg out at a 45° angle. Adjust tri-tensioners to ensure
adequate tension.
5. Adjust the poles to the height of your vehicle and
ensure that the fabric is pulled taut.
6. For extra weather protection, attach the guy ropes to
the two side loops and peg out. If not using, roll-up
the awning sides.
TO PACK DOWN
To make sure the awning
stays in place insert the
pegs into the ground at a 45°
angle, not straight down.
1. Ensure the awning is fully dry before packing away.
2. Leave the guy ropes attached for faster pitching next
time. Roll-up the side guy ropes so they store away
neatly.
3. Carefully detach the front guy ropes and collapse the
poles to the smallest size.
4. Unzip the awning ensuring the zips are supported so
the zipper doesn’t get damaged.
5. Fold and roll the awning to t into the carry bag.
