NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Ensure the awning is extended high enough before opening the
entry door.
• Ensure the lock lever is not flipped to the "roll-up" position prior to
swinging the main arm away from the RV. Failure to do so can cause
damage to the lock mechanism.
• Whenever heavy or prolonged rain or wind is anticipated, or you will
leave the awning unattended, it is best to close the awning. Damage
as a result of weather is not covered by warranty (see A in figure
above).
• Do not over extend the awning. This creates a gutter trapping water
over the stitching as well as stretching the fabric, opening up the
holes around the stitching. To remove the gutter and allow the water
to run off the awning needs to be rolled back up so the RH seam is in
the shown position (see B in figure above).
➤ Proceed as shown to open the awning (fig. f, page 19 to fig. l, page 22).
