PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
Tuatara HSC Annex
Model No. KC077-041
1. When pitching the annex, position the vehicle so the
annex is facing away from the wind. Remove the
annex from its carry bag, untie fabric ties and unroll.
2. Spread out the annex so the zip end is closest to the
Rooftop tent. This end has a zipper and a hook and
loop strip side. Attach the annex 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. Attach the hook and loop side underneath the ladder
and attach to the roof rack with the toggles. Secure
the annex to the Rooftop Tent with the hook and loop
strips. This will prevent drafts from owing through
the annex.
4. Assemble the 2 x TWIST-LOCK POLES. To erect the
annex, insert the pole tip into the eyelets located at
the front of the annex.
5. 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.
6. Adjust the poles to the height of your vehicle and
ensure that the fabric is pulled taut.
7. Peg out all the pegging points and ensure the annex
is pulled taut.
TO PACK DOWN
To make sure the annex stays in place insert the pegs into
the ground at a 45° angle, not straight down.
1. Ensure the annex is fully dry before packing away.
2. Remove all pegs and store in the bag.
3. Carefully detach the front guy ropes and collapse the
poles to the smallest size.
4. Unzip the annex ensuring the zips are supported so
the zipper doesn’t get damaged. Detach all hook and
loop strips and toggles.
5. Fold and roll the annex to t into the carry bag.
