WARNING!
Do not operate awning if adjustments or repairs are necessary.
If you discover any damage, contact the service partner in the
respective country (addresses on the back of the manual).
➤ Frequently examine awning for imbalance, or signs of wear or damage to
cables and other critical parts.
➤ Check the awning regularly:
– Is the fabric undamaged?
– Are the arms and front cover undamaged and free from any signs of
wear?
– Does the awning close properly?
Tighten up the screws on the rear hinge (fig. 9, page 5)
The three screws on the rear hinge must be tightened up after being used
initially:
after the first holiday using the awning
after driving 20000 kilometres or six months after the awning was
mounted (whichever occurs first)
The three screws on the rear hinge also need to be checked during the
routine vehicle inspection.
Contact your service partner to tighten up the screws.
Instructions for servicing:
➤ Lift up the front panel slightly so that the hinge is not bearing any load and
tighten the three screws with 15 – 20 Nm.
Patching small holes in the fabric
You can patch any small holes in the fabric or parts where the coating has
come off:
➤ Use a cotton swab to rub around the damaged area with a small amount
of liquid vinyl patch (item no. 860020001801429, available from your
service partner).
✓ The vinyl liquid patch dissolves the coating. The coating seals the hole
when it dries.
➤ Wait until the area is dry before you retract the awning again.
