WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Rooftop Tent:
Before installing the San Hima rooftop tent, ALWAYS refer to your vehicle and roof rack manuals and
ensure that you are following their instructions and advice. It is recommended to carry your vehicle
manual, roof rack manual and the user manual of this rooftop tent in your vehicle.
San Hima recommends that you should NOT transport your rooftop tent over 100km/h and that you adhere
to speed limits.
With the San Hima rooftop tent, you should measure the overall height of your vehicle with the tent fitted
as you will need this information to decide if the vehicle can enter carparks, etc.
The attachment of the rooftop tent to your vehicle will alter its centre of gravity. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
At the beginning and at regular intervals during each trip, please check that your tent is firmly installed by
ensuring all nuts and bolts and all accessories are safely secured. ALWAYS check your tent is in a safe and
appropriate place.
ONLY open and close the rooftop tent when the vehicle is parked and stationary. Storing a wet tent can
lead to the formation of mold & mildew.
It is recommended to store your tent indoors if it's not going to be used for a long time. When storing
indoors, be sure to place the tent on a padded surface and away from heavy loads and debris.
Ensure that the roof rack or roof bars can support the full weight of the rooftop tent while in motion.
Ensure the rooftop tent's weight is centred over the middle of the vehicle and its sides are not over
hanging the vehicle.
DO NOT use your rooftop tent if there is any visible damage to any part or its components, instead contact
San Hima to see how we can help.
Incorrectly mounted roof racks, rooftop tent or cross bars can come loose during travel and cause serious
accidents.
Make sure you give due consideration to the change in your vehicle height and driving behavior (e.g. wind
sensitivity, corner and braking behavior) to accommodate the change in vehicle height.
NEVER force any of the components which could result in damage when opening and closing the tent.
Metal components may need to be cleaned with a brush or soft cloth to ensure proper operation.
DO NOT use cleaning fluids containing bleach, alcohol or ammonia or any other chemicals that would
otherwise damage your tent.
DO NOT drill holes in the ladder. This will weaken the structure of the ladder and can cause injury.

3
NEVER leave the tent open for a long time where insects, rodents, or moisture could occur, and regularly
inspect your tent for damage and check hardware for signs of rust.
Keep children away from a stored tent, and ensure it can't be tipped over accidentally.
Be aware of low entrances, low hanging branches, and other hazards that could damage your roof top tent
or vehicle.
When washing your vehicle, your rooftop tent must be removed first.
For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of other road users, your roof tent and roof rack should be
removed when not in use.
Keep ALL flame and heat sources away from the tent. Under NO circumstance should ANY naked flame
sources or heating devices be used inside the tent.
Keep a look out for ANY airborne burning embers that may come into contact with the tent.
Keep a fire extinguisher or water bucket nearby.
DO NOT smoke within the tent.
Keep EXIT clear.
Telescopic Ladder:
Make sure that each section is pulled up to its full extension and is locked before continuing to the next
section. Improper locking will lead to bodily injuries.
NEVER open the ladder from the top unless extending to its maximum length.
NEVER exceed the permissible load capacity of the telescopic ladder. The telescopic ladder has a
permissible load capacity of MAX. 150 kg.
ALWAYS face the ladder during use.
Wear non-slip footwear when using the ladder.
Use both hands to grip the ladder when ascending and descending.
DO NOT attempt to extend or retract the ladder while climbing or standing on it.
Place body weight in the middle of the rung to ensure stability.
Equipment carried while using a ladder should be light and easy to handle.
DO NOT use the ladder as a bridge.
DO NOT use the ladder in windy environments.
Check before every use the proper function of the locking mechanisms. If the locking mechanisms are not
working properly, DO NOT use the ladder.
Before using the ladder all the extended rung sections must be locked.
DO NOT use the telescopic ladder under the influence of pharmaceuticals, drugs, alcohol, etc. or if you
feel unwell.
Remove dirt on the telescopic ladder, such as wet paint, oil or snow before use.
The telescopic ladder is ONLY to be used by one person at a time.
Avoid leaving an unsecured ladder at the top.
Avoid excessive lateral loads, such as carrying up heavy loads or drilling sideways in solid materials.
DO NOT spend long periods without regular breaks on the telescopic ladder. Fatigue and loss of balance
are accident hazards.
ALWAYS stand with both feet on one rung.
When climbing in and out of your rooftop tent, ALWAYS use the ladder with caution and NEVER let children
use it unsupervised. Make sure the ladder hooks are in good condition.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With assistance, carefully lift your rooftop tent
and place it onto the top of the roof racks or
crossbars of your vehicle and ensure that the
mounting channels are perpendicular to the racks
or bars they will be mounted to, and that the tent
is centered on the roof rack.
2. Slide the bolts and channel sliders into the
mounting channels. You will need to lift your
rooftop tent side, so as to have one of the bolts on
the inside of the roof rack. Repeat the same steps
for the remaining three sides.
3. Use a steel mounting plate and nuts to secure
the bolts at each of the four corners where the rack
and mounting channel cross. Tighten all eight bolts
securely. It is important that you check all the
mounting bolts and brackets periodically to ensure
they are securely fastened to your base and roof
rack or crossbars.
Insert the rubber end caps into the ends of the
mounting channel (this may require light taps from
a hammer) after ensuring the tent is positioned
correctly, and all eight bolts are tightened securely.

SET UP YOUR ROOFTOP TENT & LADDER OPERATION
Unlock the fastening buckle and release the roof.
With your hand push up the hard shell, just give the tent a light push, then the gas struts will open the
rest of the tent on its own.
Once the top has fully opened, reach up and grab the base of the ladder. Undo the velcro strap and
extend the ladder. When opening the ladder, withdraw all rungs and open each rung from the bottom to
the top, each rung must be locked. If the ladder is too long, you can push the top few rungs up until they
are locked into place.
Place the ladder at an approximate 70° angle, and make sure the base of the ladder is level and on solid
terrain. If not in a secure place move your vehicle to a more even terrain. The ladder should NOT be
over-extended. It will not give the support that it needs to if not set up properly.
NOTE: Before going up the ladder, check to see if each rung is secure. Take time to adjust each one to be
certain. You only have to depress both buttons on the bottom rung to lower the ladder.

CLOSING THE HARD SHELL
Remove rainfly rods from the canopy. Retract the ladder, starting with the bottom steps. Make sure to
depress the buttons with your thumbs and be careful not to get your hand caught between rungs. Then
secure the ladder with included strap.
Using the ladder, push the tent base up and then push both the base and the ladder into the tent.
Grab the black strap attached to the top of the shell. Pull down on the strap to close the hard shell.
Gently push in the excess material into the tent on the front, back and side. Then secure your tent.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The San Hima rooftop tent is designed to be a reliable companion on your adventures. In order to keep it
performing at its best, San Hima recommends some care and maintenance steps that will help prolong its
life.
Prior to each use, inspect your rooftop tent mounting hardware. If necessary, clean with wet cloth.
Dry your rooftop tent thoroughly before you close it. If unable to properly dry your rooftop tent prior to
closing, open it up and air dry it at your next opportunity. Failure to properly dry your tent out can lead to
the growth of mold and mildew which can degrade the tent material, cause discoloration, and foul odor.
Mold and mildew growth is not covered under your rooftop tent warranty.
To clean your rooftop tent use with cold water and a sponge. DO NOT use soap or detergent. Rinse with a
clean wet sponge and allow to thoroughly dry.
DO NOT expose to petrol, oil or solvents.
STORAGE AND HANDLING (OFF VEHICLE)
Ensure it is fully dry prior to storage and store in a cool dry location free from sunlight.
Zippers should be pulled with even force and in a gentle manner. Keep your zippers free from dust and dirt
and periodically apply non-scented bees wax to the zipper teeth as lubrication. This will prolong the life of
your zippers.
Keep your mattress dry and free from dirt. Prior to closing your rooftop tent lift your mattress and ensure
the underside is dry. Remove mattress and air dry if necessary. To clean mattress cover, remove cover
and machine wash gentle cycle. Hang dry, DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.
You should ALWAYS wipe your ladder free of any dust or dirt prior to collapsing it for storage. Failure to do
so can result in debris contacting your tent which can lead to damage to your tent fabric.
SETTING UP THE RAIN FLY
The rainfly should be erected using the window rods. Climb half-way up the ladder, take one rod, and
insert the straight end into one of the holes located at the bottom of the tent. The hook at the top end of
the rod should be facing down.
