Installing the awning
A
NOTICE!
• If the vehicle-specific installation manual specifies through bolting,
ensure the inner screw joints are accessible.
• If there is insufficient space above the door after the awning is
mounted, the door must remained closed when retracting or
extending to avoid the door making contact with the arms or the front
panel.
The required space depends on the design of the door (door width,
swing or sliding door) as well as the set awning angle of inclination
(fig. 2, page 4).
• The cables and cabinets in the interior of the vehicle may not be
damaged by drilling the holes.
I
NOTE
Ensure the user of the vehicle is aware that the screws on the rear hinge
(fig. 3, page 4) must be tightened up (see operating manual). The arms
must not bear any load. This must be done by the service partner.
6.3 Installing the awning
During installation, observe the following general information:
• The mounting rails are bolted to the vehicles in the area of the rear hinge. In
addition, they are glued with installation adhesive (e.g. Sikaflex
product) to ensure the load is evenly spread and an optimal level of protection
from moisture is maintained.
• Observe the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
• An illustrated instruction manual adapted to each type of installation is enclosed
with every vehicle-specific installation kit. As with the installation instruction
manual, this manual must be observed closely and complied with.
• Before installation, check the access to the screw joints. Make sure no cables or
cabinets are damaged when drilling.
• Contact your local service partner if you wish to have an angle of inclination
different to the default setting.
• If you want to use a tent with the PerfectRoof Awning PR4500 at a later date,
ensure that the vent windows and hatches of the erected tent remain accessible
when choosing the awning size and installation position (fig. 4, page 5).
• Clean the adhesive surfaces on the mounting rail and the wall.
• Prepare the adhesive surfaces with the primer.
