NOTE: To move the awning out of the carport position reverse
the above steps.
Securing The Awning For Travel:
Before traveling, check the following:
1. The awning is fully retracted against the sides of the motorhome.
2. The black locking knobs are tightened.
3. The storage locks are down and in the locked position.
4. The brake control is in the full down (locked) position, and no red
warning is showing.
Rain Release Setting:
After the awning has been extended, choose
the rain release position to prevent water build up
on the awning. To position the awning in the rain
release setting, lower one arm of the awning and
leave the other arm in the normal position. This will
create enough of a slope for adequate water run off.
Using The Carport Feature:
To safely use the carport feature:
1. Extend the braces and lock them
into the end of the side arms.
Tighten the black knobs.
2. Extend the awning as described
under "To Extend Awning."
3. Unlatch the bottom of the rear arm
by pushing in on the lock handle on
the arm bracket. Swing the arm
away from the motorhome to an
upright position.
4. Raise the rear arm extension lock
handle all the way up to the
unlocked position. Extend the arm to
position the awning at the desired
height and lower the lock handle to
lock the arms in place.
5. Drive the stakes through the bottom
holes in the arm.
6. Repeat instructions 1 through 5 for
the front arm extension lock handle.
