AWNINGS

Slide-out Cover

The slide-out cover automatically reacts to
slide-out direction. A fi xed edge of the slide-out
cover is installed into an awning rail, mounted
just above the slide-out. A spring-loaded roller
with special brackets mounts to the slide-out. In
a hard rain, the cover helps prevent water from
penetrating the seal of the slide-out. The slide-
out cover will automatically reach full extension
when the slide-out room is fully extended.
The slide-out cover automatically rolls up into
the travel position when the slide-out room is
completely retracted.
CAUTION:
The slide room and slide-out awning
should be retracted before heavy wind,
rain or snow to prevent damage to the
awning or motorhome. Wind can drive
rain under the slide-out awning and into
the motorhome.
CAUTION:
Rain water can pool on the slide-out
awning. The added weight will cause
the awning to sag. Upon retracting the
room, material can become caught in
between the top of slide room and the
opening in the motorhome. It will be
necessary to retract the room in small
increments and allow the water time to
run off.
CAUTION:
At least five feet of clearance is needed
between the side of the motorhome and
any objects, such as trees or fences, to
allow the slide room and slid-out awning
to fully extend.

NOTE:
When retracting the slide-out, stop the
room approximately halfway. Confirm
that the fabric is properly rolling before
fully retracting the slide-out.
