straps in place. (This could be small

handle bars at the back or base of

the rear seat, or at the side of the

boot. Or the bar of the back seat

head-rest.)

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

PREPARATION OF AIRSHROUD

STEP 6

Adjust the length of the strap by sliding the buckle up or down

and pulling the strap.

STEP 7

The aim is to adjust the strap to the

right length, so that the device sus-

pends horizontally and ﬁrmly out-

side the lower rim of the boot, with

its sponge leg resting on the side of

the car.

8

Attention! Make sure that when you adjust the buckle,

the buckle is positioned closer towards the inside of the

boot to avoid damage to the buckle when you close the

trunk lid shut.

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

PREPARATION OF AIRSHROUD

Attention! When adjusting the length of the strap,

please do it while the device is resting inside the boot

and not suspended on the side of your car.

9

STEP 8

Once this is done, and assuming that the battery power is fully

charged, the device is now fully prepared for use.

STEP 9

If you do not intend to use it right now, then place the device

back into the trunk. You can leave the hooks attached. But if you

choose to unhook it, please remember the general locations

where you have attached the hooks to, in order to save you time

ﬁnding the right places to hook to.

Attention! Make sure that the hooks are ﬁrmly hooked

before you try to suspend the device outside to avoid

it from falling and causing injury to your feet, as well as

causing damage to the device.

Also please do not use force to tug the strap away from

the device or try to deadlift the device up by pulling the

strap as it might break the joint and cause injury to

yourself.

Attention! Remember to close the trunk lid and lock

the car.

ADDITIONAL ADVICE

Please keep this user manual, the rotary handle, bungee cord,

and spare remote control safely inside your boot along with

AirShroud just in case.

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

PREPARATION OF AIRSHROUD

STEP 1

Open the trunk lid at the rear of the car. (If AirShroud is not cur-

rently stored inside the trunk, place it inside now with the battery

compartment facing towards the left.)

STEP 2

Make sure that the adjustable straps are properly hooked in place.

STEP 3

Move the device outwards so that

it suspends horizontally and ﬁrmly

outside the lower rim of the trunk,

with its sponge legs resting on the

side of the car.

10

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

PREPARATION OF AIRSHROUD

Before you cover your car, make sure that your car is relatively

clean. Remove any large organic material like twigs, nuts, leaves;

large pieces of dirt/dust; dried up bird droppings to avoid it

scratching on the surface of your car and also contaminate the

inside of the car cover when operating AirShroud.

The following assumes that you have already prepared your

device for your car. If you had not yet done so, please read the

‘Preparation of AirShroud’ section.

Attention! Make sure that the hooks are ﬁrmly hooked

before you try to suspend the device outside to avoid

it from falling and causing injury to your feet, as well as

causing damage to the device.

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

COVERING YOUR CAR

Close the trunk lid shut.

STEP 5

Press the On/Off button located on

the battery compartment to switch

the device on. When the device is on,

the power indicator lights will be on,

and there will be a beeping sound.

Closely monitor the power indicator.

If power is low, please recharge ﬁrst.

STEP 6

Slide the lid open to reveal the car cover inside the device.

Attention! If AirShroud is low on power after covering

your car, you can remove the battery compartment,

and recharge it indoors. If you do so, please do it when

weather conditions are dry. Also please keep small

children away from the device whilst it is operating to

avoid causing injury and harm.

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

COVERING YOUR CAR

STEP 7

Use your right hand to grip the han-

dle, and your left hand to hold the

remote control.

12

STEP 8

Press and hold the ‘Cover’ but-

ton on the remote control. Move

along the left side of the car towards

the front, whilst pulling the car cov-

er over the top of your car using the

handle rod as a guide.

Attention! If you accidentally pressed the ‘Uncov-

er’ button instead (which would cause the handle rod

to be pulled into the device), release the button imedi-

ately. Then press the ‘Cover’ button and resume as

normal.

Attention! You have to physically pull the cover over your

car using the handle rod as a guide. Pressing the

‘Cover’ button does not cause the car cover to cover your

car automatically, but just unlocks the car cover from

the device so you are able to pull it out.

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

COVERING YOUR CAR

Attention! If you have purchased a tailored car cover,

please cover up the side-mirrors ﬁrst before tucking in

the elasticated hems at the front of the car. Otherwise,

the stretched fabric would make it hard to cover. The

side-mirrors should be folded.

14

STEP 14

Place the device back inside the

boot.

STEP 15

Close the trunk lid.

STEP 16

Stretch out the remaining cover

along the back of the car so that the

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR COVERING YOUR CAR IN

CERTAIN SITUATIONS: FOR THE ANTICIPATION OF WINDY

WEATHER CONDITIONS

If you have already covered your car, and you anticipate that the

weather will become windy, please read the following instruc-

tions:

STEP 1

At the grey side (back) of the car cov-

er where your car wheels are located,

there is a large pocket that contains

a long side-release buckle strap.

STEP 2

Open the pocket and take out the

side-release buckle strap.

STEP 3

Loop the strap with the fork end

around the car frame and lock it

with the side-release buckle.

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

COVERING YOUR CAR

16

STEP 4

You can then tighten the side-re-

lease buckle strap to ensure that the

car cover will stay in place and will

not ﬂap about even if weather con-

ditions are windy.

FOR THE ANTICIPATION OF EXTREME WINDY WEATHER CON-

DITIONS

If you had locked the side-release buckles to the four car wheels,

it should be enough to keep the cover from being blown away

and stabilized. But exceptionally strong winds can still get into

the middle section of the cover and cause the car cover to puff

up, as well as blowing any dust, dirt and leaves into the cover. To

prevent this from happening and to ensure additional safety, we

advise you to use the bungee cord provided in the box. Below is

a set of instructions on how to use your bungee cord.

STEP 1

Once you have covered your car, move to one side of the car and

look for a small loop on the middle-bottom edge of the cover.

STEP 2

Hook the bungee cord to the loop.

HOW TO USE AIRSHROUD

COVERING YOUR CAR

17

STEP 5

Once you have covered your car, move to one side of the car and

look for a small loop on the middle-bottom edge of the cover.

STEP 3

Open the metal lock and adjust the

length of the bungee cord so that

it’s just a bit longer than the width

of the car.

STEP 6

Hook the bungee cord to the loop.

STEP 4

Then close the metal lock with the

thumb pressed ﬁrmly on the lock,

and with the other hand give the

bungee cord a small tug to stretch

it. This ensures that the lock is ﬁrm-

ly pressed on the cord so that the

length is ﬁxed.

Attention! If you are trying to tie the bungee cord to the

car cover near the road, please be careful of passing cars

for your personal health and safety.
