NOTE: Many rack systems have a tight clearance between the roof and the rack, or are not strong enough.
This may make installation difficult. You may purchase an aftermarket rack system that will make installation
easier if necessary.
CAUTION: You will need at least 2 people to install the SWT90 safely. You will not be able to lift it with one
person
1. Unpack tent with care to avoid scratching the surface
of the shell.
2. Take 4 brackets and the 8 bolts. In each plate, place
one bolt into a hole on each end (Fig. 1).
3. Insert two brackets (with bolts still attached) into one
end of each channel, located at the bottom of the tent
shell. Slide them so they approximately match your
rack spacing. You will want one bracket near each cor-
ner of the tent
4. Lift tent onto the top of your rack system. Lifting the
tent will require two people.
5. If brackets are not aligned properly with the front or
back racks, adjust them accordingly. One bolt must be
on one side of the rack, and the other bolt on the other
side for each bracket.
6. Insert the remaining 4 brackets onto the bolts and loosely attach with a nut on each bolt (Fig. 2). This bot-
tom bracket will go underneath the rack.
7. Adjust the tent (if needed) so it is square and centered on your vehicle, and adjust to remove interference
with any doors.
8. Tighten nuts until tent is snug and cannot slide.

Each set of two brackets
should look like this be-

Remember, the bolts
should be on either side of
the rack.

General Usage Instructions
Opening the Tent
1. There are four latches and four buckles on the tent, located in the front and back. Unhook the buckles and un-
latch the latches. Push the tent up and it will pop open on its own.
2. You will find the ladder inside the tent. Open and extend the ladder to the required length. Attach to the tent
using the security straps, found under the entrance door.
Always make sure your ladder is securely fastened to the tent before entering or exiting the tent.
Closing the Tent
1. Collapse the ladder and place it back into the tent for storage if desired.
2. Remove foam pads under each collapsible gas strut to make closing easier. Insert entry awning into tent.
3. There is a strap handle located on the outside at each end of the tent. Begin by collapsing one end and very
loosely attach the two security straps. (Be sure to do this LOOSELY or you will break the strap buckle). Then
proceed to collapse the other tent end and tuck any loose fabric inside. Ensure all fabric and contents are se-
curely in place.
4. Once tent is fully closed and all the fabric tucked into the shell, secure all latches and tighten all buckles.
Traveling with the Tent
 Buckle lid on tightly before traveling any distance. Always make sure to double check that your tent and
mounting brackets are secure.
 After 25 miles, stop and check that the tent is secure and has not shifted. You must also periodically continue to
check your tent if you are traveling long distances
You must not exceed 75 mph when traveling with the tent
Caring for Your Tent
 When cleaning, only use cold water and a soft brush. Never use soap or detergent.
 Do not expose fabric to oil or solvents
 Expect some weeping at the seams of the fabric with the initial use. This will reduce with use and as the fabric
cures
 As the tent is used, it is recommended that you occasionally re-proof the fabric with a high quality water-
proofing solution to keep the tent in good condition.
 Always store tent up off the floor and away from damp areas.
 Periodically and every season ensure that all bolts and nuts are tight to reduce any damage from use.
 Do not drag tent on the ground as this could damage the fabric and allow water seepage when used.
