Tent Side: Please read chapter SITE SELECTION AND SETUP for instructions on raising, lowering and properly stowing your tent side
to avoid damage when lowering roof.
2
Plumbing: Please read chapter PLUMBING SYSTEM for instructions in filling and draining the tanks and lines of the Mantis. Check
chapter TROUBLESHOOTING for common mishaps.

Shower / WC Privacy Screen (if equipped): is hidden in plain site – it is stuffed into the small curtain/bag that hides the shower floor
from view. Pull it out, attach the top 4 corners, snap the bottom, take a shower, change your clothes.
4
Wheel Lugs: On your first trip tighten wheel lugs at start and at 10, 25, and 50 miles. Thereafter, check wheel lugs before each trip,
after excessive breaking and following winter. Always tighten to the manufacturer's specification of 90 ft. lbs.
5
Before driving, make a habit of locking and dead bolting all doors and securing all window latches.
6
Keep an eye out – make a habit of walking around your habitat before you set out, when filling up at a service station, when hitching
up at the campground. Preventative maintenance is always the best.
7
If you are driving down a dirt road please go slow, be careful, never wonder if you are about to bottom out! Get out and take a look!
Make someone 'spot' you. Remember - bumps are bumpier for your habitat.

Have fun!
