CAUTION
Pinch Hazard. Ensure there are no
people who could be harmed or objects
that can be damaged. Failure to heed this
warning could result in severe injury and/
or property damage.
Operating the Awning
Note: The awning opens and closes with a steep
pitch. On low profile vans, the leading
edge of the awning may hit the top of the
sliding door if the door is open while
extending or retracting the awning.
Carefree recommends that the awning
should be opened a minimum of 16
inches before opening the side door. The
side door should be closed when
retracting the awning.
• Press and Hold the Patio Awning switch
DOWN (to extend) or UP (to retract) until the
awning is in the desired position, then release
the switch.
• After extending, attach the vertical support
legs to provide increased stability.
Note: The ground support legs do offer
increased stability but do not compensate
for harsh weather conditions such as
wind and/or heavy rain. During
inclement weather, retract and secure the
awning in the travel position.
Ignition Lockout System
The ignition lockout system will disable the
extend function while the vehicle ignition key is
in the On position. With this feature, the Awning
will only extend when the vehicle ignition key is
in the Off position. The Awning can retract
anytime regardless of the ignition key position.
Further Information
For complete operating instructions, features,
safety precautions, and maintenance care, refer to
the Awning manufacturer's user guide provided
in your InfoCase.
