Troubleshooting

NOTE:
Optionally use optional Limpet Fix Kit for the fastening of the AIR Awning to the motorhome/caravan (fig. e, on
page 5).
4. Fasten the rear upright poles with the tapes to the AIR Awning inner wall (fig. f, on page 6).
Snow support poles
1. Remove the snow support poles (fig. j, on page 7) from the transport bag.
2. Fit the snow support poles together.
3. Insert the snow support pole through the loops on the inner wall of the AIR Awning (fig. g, on page 6).
4. Place the upper part of the snow support pole on the plastic base and fix it carefully in height with the fixing lever
(fig. e, on page 5). Repeat this procedure on the other side.
Roof lining
1. Unfold and align the roof lining.
2. Hook the roof lining all around with the plastic hooks into the plastic rings (fig. c, on page 5).

Problem
Difficulties in inflating up the AIR Aw-
ning.
A part of the AIR Awning does not
inflate.
A part of the AIR Awning does not
deflate.
The AIR Poles are kinked.
Air deflates.
Water penetrates into the AIR Awning at
certain points.
Water penetrates into the AIR Awning
from multiple points.
Water enters the AIR Awning at the be-
ading connection to the motorhome/
caravan.

Reason
• The inflation valve is not screwed
into the AIR Pole completely.
• The deflation valves are open.
The isolation valves that connect the AIR
Poles may be closed.
An isolation valve may be closed.
The air pressure is too low in the AIR
Poles.
• The collars of an isolation valve are
not properly fastened or the black
O-ring seal is not correctly fitted.
• The upper cap of the inflation valve
is not tightly closed.
• One or more deflation valves are
open.
• There is a leakage in an AIR Pole.
• There is a leakage in an AIR hose.
The main seams of the AIR Awning
were industrially glued to prevent water
penetration.
In most cases this is condensation.
A special waterproof sewing thread is
used. If this thread gets wet, it swells
and thus seals the pinholes.

Solution
1. Fully screw in the inflation valve.
2. Close the deflation valves.
3. Check the function of the pump.
1. Open all isolation valves.
Air inflates all AIR Poles.

Do not close the isolation valves during
normal usage.
1. Check the isolation valve(s).
2. Open the closed isolation valve(s).
Add air to 0,62 bar / 9 psi.
1. Fit the O-Ring seal and screw in the
isolation valve correctly.
2. Close the upper cap of the inflation
valve tightly.
3. Close all deflation valves.
4. Check all AIR Poles for holes and
repair if required.
5. Check all AIR hoses for holes and
repair if required.
Observe the section on the AIR hose
"Repair or replace an AIR Pole" on page
13.
Treat the seams with seam sealant.
Seam sealant should also be applied to
areas where the adhesive seal has been
damaged or has become loose due
to wear. It can also be applied to areas
where leaks may have formed.
1. Open and ventilate doors/windows.
2. Lay out a waterproof floor covering.
The fabric of the AIR Awning is designed
that no water can penetrate.
It may take some soaking processes
before the seal becomes effective (We-
athering).
