4. Setup and Installation

This kit is designed to be installed in conjunction with a compatible Can-Am Audio Roof (715007130 or 715006709). Professional installation is recommended.

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a flat, stable surface. Turn off the engine, engage the parking brake, and remove the ignition key. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
2. Remove Existing Components (if necessary): If an audio roof is already installed without flip functionality, carefully follow the audio roof's instructions to prepare it for the flip kit integration. This may involve removing certain mounting points.
3. Assemble Flip Kit Components: Refer to the detailed assembly diagrams provided with your specific kit. Attach the pivot brackets and support arms to the audio roof structure using the supplied hardware. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten until alignment is confirmed.
4. Mount to Vehicle: Position the assembled audio roof with the flip kit onto the vehicle's roll cage or designated mounting points. Secure the main pivot points to the vehicle frame using the specified bolts and nuts.
5. Align and Adjust: With the kit loosely mounted, carefully test the flip mechanism. Ensure smooth movement without binding or excessive play. Adjust the mounting points as needed to achieve proper alignment and function.
6. Final Tightening: Once alignment is satisfactory, progressively tighten all fasteners to the torque specifications provided in the kit's specific instructions. Double-check all connections.
7. Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
8. Final Inspection: Verify that the audio roof flips smoothly and locks securely in both the open and closed positions. Check for any loose parts or obstructions.

5. Operating Instructions

The Audio Roof Flip Kit allows for easy access and versatility. Always ensure the vehicle is stationary before operating the flip mechanism.

• To Flip Up: Locate the release latches or handles (specific to your kit design). Disengage the latches and carefully lift the audio roof upwards until it locks into the open position. Ensure it is securely latched in the open position before proceeding.
• To Close: Disengage the latches holding the roof in the open position. Carefully lower the audio roof until it rests in its closed position. Engage the primary latches to secure the roof firmly. Verify that the roof is fully closed and latched before driving.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper function of your flip kit.

• Periodic Inspection: Regularly check all mounting hardware for tightness. Re-tighten any loose bolts or nuts.
• Lubrication: Apply a suitable lubricant to pivot points and moving parts as needed to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
• Cleaning: Clean the kit components with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage finishes.
• Damage Check: Inspect the kit for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace any damaged components immediately.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Audio Roof Flip Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Roof does not flip smoothly: Check for obstructions, ensure pivot points are clean and lubricated, and verify all mounting hardware is correctly aligned and tightened.
• Roof does not latch securely: Inspect latches for damage or wear. Ensure the roof is properly aligned when closing. Adjust mounting points if necessary to achieve proper engagement.
• Unusual noises during operation: Check for loose hardware, worn pivot bushings, or contact between components. Tighten, lubricate, or replace parts as needed.
