➤ Press the switch for the 12 V motor until the awning has retracted far enough to
tauten the fabric.
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 should not sag in the middle.
Positioning the struts on the ground
!
WARNING! Beware of injury
• Only position the struts on solid ground.
• Secure the struts from slipping.
➤ Position the struts vertically underneath the front panel.
➤ Secure the struts with pegs (fig. 8, page 4).
➤ Position one of the struts slightly deeper so that the front panel hangs at an angle.
This allows rain to run off easier (fig. 9, page 5).
Securing the struts on the vehicle
You can secure the awning on your vehicle directly if you have already mounted the
latches for the struts.
➤ Slide the cover of the latch up (fig. 0, page 5).
➤ Fit the strut into the latch (fig. 0, page 5).
➤ Slide the cover of the latch down (fig. 0, page 5).
➤ Position one of the struts slightly deeper so that the front panel hangs at an angle.
This allows rain to run off easier (fig. a, page 5).
Mounting the tensioning arm
Awnings with a length of 4 m or more need to have a tensioning arm fitted in the
middle of the awning. This prevents the awning from sagging.
➤ Slide in the tensioning rod (fig. b, page 6).
➤ Fit the top end of the tensioning arm into the attachment on the housing (fig. b,
page 6).
➤ Slide the other end of the tensioning arm into the attachment in the front panel
(fig. b, page 6).
