the motorhome and that all panels are correctly tensioned.
Once satisfied check the AirPoles are inflated sufficiently (9 psi) and, if necessary, add more air. Once you are happy
with the pressure replace the inflation valve cap until it is tight to prevent leaking.
Guying
Quickpitch guying system: (see Diagram 12a/12b) Corner straps should be pegged at 45°degree from the corner
seams. Any straps along the front panel(s) should be pegged at 90° degrees in relation to the panel.
First, release the straps to their maximum length.
Peg the loop ensuring tension along the bottom webbing strap.
Tighten by pulling the straps through the buckles. Do not over-tension as this can distort the shape of the awning.
DO NOT allow children to play around your awning.
Guylines are a trip hazard.
Pegs
The awning comes complete with general purpose pegs. These will be suitable for many sites but there will be some
instances where different pegs will be necessary. Your dealer will stock a range of pegs suitable for different types
of ground. For maximum effectiveness, pegs should be driven into the ground at a 45° angle away from the pegging
point (see Diagram).
CAUTION: Pegs can be sharp. Do not allow children to play around the
awning and ensure that suitable protective footwear is worn.
Sealing Bumper Pads
To help create a seal between motorhome and awning there are sealing bumper pads (13) sewn to the rear panels.
Using the rear pegging points, these bumpers should be pulled towards the motorhome. An improved seal can be
maintained by use of the rear upright pole set in two ways:
A: Insert the top of each pole into the closed pocket in the top rear corners (13b), adjust the height to bring the pole
under tension (13c) and then secure the pole to the bumper pads using the tie tapes.
B: If using with a wind-out awning there may be a gap at the top. If this is the case detach the velcro at the top of the
bumper flap. Insert the pole through the open pocket and push the pole back towards the motorhome (13a). The
sucker on the end of the pole should be secured against the underside of the wind-out awning cassette. Tension the
pole (13c).
The seal can be further enhanced by the use of optional Kampa Dometic Limpets (see Diagram 13d).
Curtains
Fit the curtains (see Diagram 14). Check curtain size/shape against window size/shape before fitting.
Storm Tie-Down Kit (optional)
The QuickPitch straps/guy lines should be utilised at all times. However, for extra security an optional Storm Tie-Down
Kit is available (see Diagram 15a/15b). Ensure that the storm strap is pegged under tension but not so that it distorts
the shape of the awning. The tie-downs should always be used in pairs.
