Ladder Extension Accessory; Cautions; Storage Of The Tent - Reimo Wallaby 2 Benutzerhandbuch

6. LADDER EXTENSION ACCESSORY (Reimo item 900631)
A ladder extension may be required depending on the height of your
vehicle (in most cases where the base of roof tent is more than 2m
off the ground).
If required, slide ladder extension into the base of the main ladder.
Position ladder and extension to an appropriate climbing angle. Drill
two 8 mm holes into the main ladder to accept the two locking pins
from the ladder extension.
Note: The overlap of the ladder extension to the main ladder
must not be less than 240mm.

7. CAUTIONS

• Do not pull down on side retaining Velcro straps when closing the tent. These straps
are designed to hold the tent base together, and are not designed to be used to pull the
bases together. When you are closing the tent, hold down the top folded base to compact
the tent, then use the Velcro straps to secure the bases in this position. These straps will
tear out of the tent if excessive force is applied to the strap.
• Do not store the tent wet. If you do have to pack away when the tent is wet, zip closed
all canvas doors and windows to protect the inside of the tent, and pack away. As soon as
you can, within a few days, open the tent and let it dry out thoroughly to prevent moisture
damage. Open up the tent occasionally to let it vent out, and store the mattress in a dry
area during extended periods of wet weather.
Note: If the tent is to be closed up for extended periods of time it is very important
that the tent and mattress is completely dry.
• Do not drill locking holes below the existing locking pin holes in the ladder. This will
weaken the structure of the ladder and can cause injury. If you need to extent the length of
ladder, please purchase a ladder extension. If you need to shorten the ladder you can drill
the holes above the existing ladder locking pin holes.
• Be aware that with a roof tent fitted to your vehicle the overall height is increased.
You should measure the total height of your vehicle with the roof tent fitted as you will need
this information to decide if the vehicle can enter car parks etc.
• Centre of gravity. The attachment of a roof tent to your vehicle (similar to any other load
on your roof rack) will alter its centre of gravity. Adjust your driving accordingly.
• In trip inspections. Regularly check that all nuts and bolts attaching your roof tent to the
roof of your vehicle are tight and in good condition.

8. STORAGE OF THE TENT

1. If storing the tent off the vehicle, ensure the tent is packed away completely dry.
2. Be careful not to drag the tent on the ground. This will damage the cover and allow poten-
tial water ingress the next time you use your roof tent.
3. Do not store directly on concrete.
