Tip; REFER TO PHOTOGRAPH WHEN PUTTING UP COMPACTALITE PRO CLASSIC 325

Lay the outer/flysheet and spread out on the ground, Ensure all panels are zipped up fully. Before starting to put the

awning on your caravan check the edges of the channel for any sharp corners or damage as this can snag the

fabric and sometimes cause damage to the awning. Slide the awning profile through the caravan rail, and spread

evenly across the caravan roof.

Once the awning is in the desired position on your caravan open the pole bag and take out the 4 fibreglass roof poles

and 4 steel poles and lay out on the ground, (Most poles are broken during pitching so take extreme care at this

stage) – Spare poles can be purchased from outdoor-revolution.com if you accidentally break one. In the case

of the fibre poles ensure the poles are seated correctly within each of the metal ferrules when opening out.

First take one of the fibreglass pole sections and slide through either of the outer roof channels, then locate one of the

steel vertical poles into position using the ferrel at the end of the fibreglass pole. After this has been done locate the

steel pole into position using the pin on the 'ring and pin' assembly located on the black webbing around the foot of the

awning and then tension the pole by using the fitted adjuster Continue this process with the remaining poles. Finally

clip the black plastic locating clips to the poles.

You will now notice the two outer poles will drop inwards onto the awning canvas, in order to rectify this take the

stability strap on one end and peg out, this will pull the pole outwards and hold it in position whilst you work on setting

the awning, after you have done this repeat the process at the other end (only knock the peg in halfway as it is likely

you will have to reset this at the end.) After this has been done the back of the awning by the caravan should now be

pegged through the steel rings at the corners and the buckles tensioned slightly.

The sections for the steel stabiliser pole should now be taken inside the awning. The cross pole should be opened out

and the 2 legs should be attached. If you look at the front of the awning you will see a number of 'zipped sleeves' and

tapes these are to hold the stabiliser pole in place. Unzip the sleeves and offer up the assembly into position and

complete by zipping the sleeves and tying the tapes Then connect the pole legs at either side by using the metal pins

on 'ring and pin' assembly at the base of the awning, then finally zip up the sleeves.

You may notice the front section of the awning may rise up of the ground this is not a problem and once you have the

corners pegged should pull back down (this is due to the tension on the steel stability bar)

Now continue by placing pegs in the 2 front corners of the awning followed by pegging the remaining points along the

front, ensuring all pegging is in a straight line. Remember when pegging to use the 'ring and pin' assemblies as

pegging points through the centre of the ring. (Do not over tension as this can sometimes lead to damaged zips) TIP

pegs perform best when inserted at 45 degrees into the ground.

Peg the gusseted flanges at the rear of the awning in such a way that a seal is formed against the caravan side. The

shock chord can be gently tightened to maximise this seal by pulling tight through the black toggle.

Guy lines can now be tensioned and pegged (remember you may have to re-adjust the yellow stability straps you

positioned earlier) please ensure in heavy weather that ALL guy lines and the stability straps are used.

10.

Take care not to over tension as this can damage your awning or awning zips. (Please note that failure to use all the

lines may result in your awning being damaged)

After use please take extreme care when packing away. Ensure the Compactalite Pro Classic 325 is

dry (including the poles) and air the tent before packing away.

Any dirt or stains can be removed by brushing or gently washing with warm water. DO NOT use

detergents as this will destroy the waterproofing on the fabrics.

We advise that you DO NOT cook or smoke in this awning.

During use, particularly during rain, avoid touching the outer fabric as this may cause moisture to be

drawn into the porch awning.

**We highly recommend that you insure your awning against storm damage or accidental damage, as the

warranty does not cover such eventualities. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused to the

caravan because of misuse, incorrect pitching or extreme weather
