Emergency Operation
If power to the vehicle is not available, the awning can be retracted by jumping the motor
using a 10VDC – 14VDC power source such as a cordless drill battery or car battery.
NOTE: If the awning is equipped with the Direct Response system,
this procedure is not applicable. See the manufacturer's owner's
manual for additional information.
Locate and separate the quick disconnects located in the motor arm channel. Position the
wires from the motor on the outside of the channel.
1.
Attach jumper wires to the motor wires. Connect the
other ends of the jumper leads to the 10VDC–14VDC
source. If the awning moves in the wrong direction,
reverse the leads.
2.
Maintain contact throughout the retraction process.
3.
Hold the wires from the motor on the outside of the
channel while closing the awning. This provides ac-
cess for opening the awning.
4.
When power is restored, use the jumper wires and ex-
tend the awning to access the cable disconnects. Re-
attach the disconnects and secure in the arm channel.
Additional Awning Operation Information
When rolled out, the fabric may "bounce" creat-
ing a wave like motion in the canopy fabric. This
can creates the appearance of moving jerkily.
Vinyl may have a tendency to "cling" to the when not used for an extended period
of time. Open and close the awning in short bursts 2 or 3 times, the awning will
then open normally.
If the awning does not operate, contact the Carefree Service Center. See
colorado.com
for a listing of service centers.
