Window Awnings (Optional); Awning Maintenance - SAFARI Trek 2002 Owner's Manual

Window Awnings (Optional)

Window awnings are a very popular option on the Safari Trek. A manufacturer's manual
with detailed installation and operation instructions has been provided in your warranty
package. Please familiarize yourself with these instructions before operating awnings.
To open the window awning:
1. Grasp the loop on the pull strap and pull it DOWN to extend the awning.
2. Hook the loop onto the window strap hanger when in place.
To close the window awning:
3. Remove the loop from the window strap hanger.
4. Slowly allow the awning to roll up by feeding the pull strap upward and diagonally.
This will prevent the strap from binding up and creating a bulge in the fabric. The
awning is now ready for travel with no locking required.
WARNING: Do not release strap when closing the awning. The awning is under
tension and may snap back against the vehicle.

Awning Maintenance

Washing your awnings will help keep them in their best condition and ensure that they
will last for as long as you own your coach.
On a monthly basis, loosen hardened dirt and dust with a medium-bristled brush and then
thoroughly rinse both the top and bottom with a hose. Wash both sides of the awning with
a mild soap solution, scrubbing with the brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry.
WARNING: Never use strong detergents or stain removers on your awning. They
can destroy the water-repellent properties of the fabric.
The acrylic fabric of your awning is synthetic and mildew does not form on the fabric
itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt and grime.
Refer to the awning manufacturer's operating instructions for detailed cleaning instruc-
tions and maintenance.
