Using the AIR Awning
7 Using the AIR Awning

7.3 Before first use

It is recommended that a test setup is carried out before the AIR Awning is used for the first time. Check the AIR Awning
strip/awning channel (keder strip) of the motorhome/caravan for damage or sharp edges.

7.4 Choice of location

Choose a flat location away from the wind. Sloping ground can affect your finished AIR Awning.

7.5 Set up

CAUTION!
Risk of injury from bursting AIR Poles!
• Never open the zipper of the protective cover while an AIR Pole is inflated.
• Deflate the AIR Poles first.
NOTICE!
Material damage due to over-inflated AIR Poles!
• Do not use a compressor designed for car tires.
• Use a hand pump or a specially designed electric pump (PU0165 Gale 12 V).
• AIR Poles inflated by too much air are not covered by the product guarantee.
NOTICE!
Material damage due to overloading when using a cassette awning!
• Do not put too much strain on the cassette awning when mounting it.
• Support the AIR Awning when mounting. After assembly, crank the awning completely back into the housing.
Pull the AIR Awning along the awning channel until it is in the wanted position (fig. 3, on page 2).
To protect the AIR Awning laid out a groundsheet or awning floor covering before unpacking.
1. Unpack the AIR Awning and check the content for completeness.
2. Lay down the AIR Awning and align it with the opening (keder strip) towards the motorhome/caravan.
Possibilities to attach the AIR Awning to the motorhome/caravan:
• awning channel:
Insert the AIR Awning into the awning rail (fig. 1, on page 2). Use the suitable diameter size of the keder strip (fig. 2,
on page 2).
• cassette awning:
If the motorhome/caravan has a crank cassette awning, use the suitable diameter keder strip that can be inserted into the
front awning channel of most models. When using the cassette awning, first crank the awning to a comfortable height
before inserting the AIR Awning beading through the awning channel at the front of the cassette awning (fig. 1 /2, on
page 2).
NOTE:
For easier installation on the motorhome/caravan, inflate the AIR Awning.
3. Position the pegging point so that the sidewalls of the AIR Awning are aligned vertically (fig. 3 A, on page 2). Peg the
rear corners of the AIR Awning.
4. Close the deflation valves (turn the tap clockwise 90°) (fig. 4 1, on page 2).
5. Locate the inflation valve on the AIR Awning (fig. 4 2, on page 2).
6. Unscrew the top and attach the pump nozzle (fig. 5, on page 3).
7. Carefully inflate the AIR Poles (fig. 6, on page 3) using the hand pump.
8. Once the AIR Awning contains enough air, pull out the front of the AIR Awning, so that the AIR Poles can take their final
shape (fig. 7, on page 3).
NOTE:
The optimal air pressure is 0,62 bar / 9 psi.
