CLOSING ROOF .... follow these simple steps:
1. While inside the habitat, pull the hanging straps that are attached at the highest point of the roof down;
2. The roof will close slowly as the force is dampened by two gas springs. Pull slowly and steadily.
3. Before the roof closes all the way pull in any tent side material that have billowed outwards.
4. Secure the two interior latches. Make sure the thumb catches are caught!
5. Walk around the exterior of the habitat to ensure that no tent fabric is caught in the roof; no jacks, cords, hoses, etc were left
in place
TENT ROLLED UP AND NOT CAUGHT IN LATCH
You must roll tented side fabric to ensure side latches do NOT catch and/or tear/cut fabric walls while latching. Be
sure to carefully roll and tuck the fabric side walls into the unit when lowering the roof. Otherwise, the tented fabric is
likely to catch on the roof's interior fastening clamps, causing rips and tears. Rips and tears and other damage caused
by improperly closing the roof are excluded under the Taxa Inc. Limited Warranty. See "Limited Warranty" section
herein.
WARNING: BE SURE TO WATCH YOUR HANDS AND FINGERS WHEN SECURING LATCHES.
