Installing the awning

6.1 Required installation material
For the installation of the awning, you will need:
•
Various tools, e.g. screwdriver
•
A suitable flexible adhesive/sealant, e.g. Sikaflex
•
A cleaning agent that is recommended for use with the adhesive
•
A primer that is recommended for use with the adhesive
•
Acid-free silicone
6.2 Notes on the installation position
When choosing the installation location, observe the following:
!
WARNING!
•
Keep a sufficient distance from objects or other vehicles. Once it is
retracted, it should be at least 40 cm away from other objects and
vehicles.
•
Ensure the wall of the motorhome can safely take the weight of the
awning before installation. Otherwise, the awning may become
unstable and bend or break.
A
NOTICE!
•
Make sure that the inner screw joints are accessible.
Only attach the awning to flat and vertical wall surfaces (fig. 2 and
•
fig. 3, page 1). On curved wall surfaces, the mounting plates need to
be adequately lined under the fastening points.
•
If there is insufficient space above the door after the awning is
mounted, the door must remain closed when retracting or extending
to avoid the door making contact with the arms or the lead rail.
The required space depends on the design of the door (door width,
swing or sliding door) as well as the set awning angle of inclination
(fig. 4, page 1).
•
The cables and cabinets in the interior of the vehicle may not be
damaged by drilling the holes.
