Important:

Please refer to your fitting instruction to ensure that the roof racks are installed in the correct locations.
Check the contents of kit before commencing fitment and report any discrepancies.
Place these instructions in the vehicle's glove box after installation is complete.
Layout
Note: The poles and ropes must always be
used when the FOXWING Eco awning is open
Recommendations
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your Rhino
FOXWING Eco Awning. Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (probably once a week
is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). You should also check the
roof bars each time they are refitted.
Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Please remove FOXWING Eco Awning and crossbars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Load Ratings
With the addition of the FOXWING ECO Awning, the load capacity of your crossbars will have to be adjusted
accordingly. The FOXWING ECO Awning and 2 crossbars weigh approximately 14kg. When roof racks are to be
used in off-road conditions, please build a safety factor of 1.5 into this load limit. Although the roof racks are tested
and approved to AS1235-2000, Australian road conditions can be much more rigorous.
