⚠ Safety & Usage Instructions for Teraglide Platform
We want your car camping experience to be safe, smooth, and enjoyable. Please take a moment to review these safety guidelines before installing or using your platform.
🛠 Installation & Lifting
- The platform can be heavy. Do not lift it alone.
- We recommend installing it in stages:
- Start with the base frame.
- Then place the drawer.
- Finally, attach the sliding cover or bed panel.
- Always secure the platform using the straps to factory anchor points in your car.
- Do not use the platform without proper fastening.
- Do not drive with the platform in the open or extended position. It must always be folded back into the trunk before driving.
✋ Pinch Points & Moving Parts
Take care when using:
- The lift-up cover
- The sliding panel or bed platform
- The drawer system
- The clip-on table
➤ Keep hands and fingers away from hinges and sliding areas to avoid injury.
➤ Always supervise children around the platform.
💧 Moisture & Care
- If the platform gets wet — from spills, rain, or condensation — dry it thoroughly before storing to prevent swelling, warping, or mould.
- Do not expose the platform to long-term rain or standing water. Wood is a natural material. Treat it gently and avoid excess moisture.
- Hairline cracks or small splits in the wood are normal with natural materials and do not affect function.
- Store in a dry place when not in use.
- Bamboo parts (e.g. clip-on table) should be treated with care — we recommend regular oiling or staining to protect the surface and extend its life.
🔩 Maintenance
- Check and tighten all bolts and joints regularly.
- If something feels loose or squeaks, tighten it or contact us for support.
- Keep away from open flames or heat sources. It is not fire-resistant.
📦 Weight Limits
- Main drawer: Up to 80 kg evenly distributed
- Clip-on table: Up to 15 kg
- Bed platform: Tested to support up to 180 kg of distributed weight
➤ Do not apply sharp, concentrated pressure or jump on the platform. - Headrest extension panel:
➤ Only use when side wings are installed and with straps where it's mentioned, usually for small cars.
➤ Using the headrest alone without supports may be unstable and unsafe.
📌 Important
