WARNING
​
Wind: The biggest concern with any type of umbrella is wind. Although HatchAttach® incorporates an integrated wind vent as well as stabilization straps to reduce the impact that wind can deliver – it is still a concern when windy conditions occur. Caution should be taken relative to evaluating weather conditions that may pose a risk to the product, vehicles or persons. HatchAttach® is designed to provide a level of stability in “Light” to “Gentle” breezes as defined by NOAA and the National Weather Service, HOWEVER, it is not recommended to be used in wind conditions that exceed 10 MPH. The addition of the stabilization straps, when attached to the canopy rib ends at the farthest point from the vehicle (see inset to the left), also provides additional but limited protection. If you find that conditions change and the winds are more than initially expected after set-up, immediately detach the canopy and store for future use. The canopy should never be deployed while the vehicle is in motion.
Fire: Keep all flame and heat sources away from the HatchAttach® umbrella canopy. This canopy is not made with flame resistant fabric and will burn if left in contact with any flame source.
Latch Failure: When properly installed, the J-bolt on the HatchAttach® bracket will engage with the lock actuator on the vehicles rear lift-gate securing the bracket in place. Proper fit and alignment should be checked for security once installed. If the tensioning knob on the J-bolt is overtightened, the user risks damaging the lock actuator which in turn may cause the lift-gate not to lock properly when closed. The vehicles lift-gate should be checked after each use of HatchAttach® to ensure proper and safe locking of the lift-gate when closed.
Person Injury: If the HatchAttach® canopy is inadvertently dislocated from the vehicle for any reason (including unexpected wind-gusts), it can become a projectile that may pose risk to those around it. HatchAttach® is not responsible for any damage to the product, vehicles or persons including any potential 3rd party injury or property damage due to such causes.
Monitoring: It is important that the HatchAttach® system and the vehicle be continually monitored for proper performance while in use. This includes checking the bracket to ensure a proper snug fit with the vehicles locking mechanism. In addition, the stabilization straps should also be continuously checked and adjusted to ensure proper stabilization of the canopy when in use.
