AWNING USE IN WIND AND RAIN.
E
We remind you that the awning is a sun protection, so please roll up your aw-
ning in case of rain, wind or snow. Otherwise take the following precautions:
To prevent water build up on the awning, position one upper arm substantially
lower than the other to create enough of a slope for adequate water run off and
use a tension rafter available from Fiamma. (See figure below)
To avoid the awning being taken up by a sudden wind, causing possible dam-
age to the vehicle by the swinging of the legs. It is necessary to secure the
legs to the ground with the provided hooks. As a supplementary security we
strongly advise to make use of a storm cord at the upper side of each support
leg, or to acquire and anchor the legs with the Fiamma Toe-Down Kit Strap.
(See figure below)
NOTE: IF WIND OR EXTENDED PERIODS OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED, ROLL UP
THE AWNING AND SECURE AS FOR TRAVEL!
nOTiCE
