PW1100
A
NOTICE! Beware of damage
The fabric of the awning should not hang down at the edges, and must
remain taut at all times. If the fabric hangs down, it could rub against the
arms and become damaged.
The fabric used for long awnings may sag in the middle.
Positioning the support legs on the ground
!
WARNING! Beware of injury
•
Only position the support legs on solid ground.
•
Secure the support legs from slipping.
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. 5, page 5 and fig. 6, page 5).
Securing the support legs on the vehicle
You can secure the awning on your vehicle directly if you have already mounted the
latches for the support legs.
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. 7, page 6 and fig. 8, page 6).
Mounting the tension rafter
Awnings with a length of 4 metres or more need to have a tension rafter fitted in the
middle of the awning. This prevents the awning from sagging.
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. 9, page 7 and fig. 0, page 7).
6.3 Retracting the awning
A
NOTICE!
•
Only retract the awning when the fabric is free of debris (branches,
leaves or similar). Otherwise the awning may be damaged when it is
retracted.
•
Keep the awning free of dirt to prevent abrasions, stains and mildew.
•
When retracting the awning, make sure that no branches or other
objects are trapped in it.
•
If the awning is retracted when wet, extend it again and let the fabric
dry out at the next opportunity. If the wet fabric stays rolled up for a
long time, mildew will form and the fabric can fade.
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. a, page 8 to fig. e, page 10).
