6.1 Notes on the installation
!WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could result in death
or serious injury.
Fire hazard/Electrocution hazard
• Make sure there are no obstacles (wires, pipes, etc.) on the RV‘s roof
and inside the RV‘s walls.
•Shutoff gas supply to the RV.
• Disconnect AC power from the RV, and disconnect the positive
+12 Vgterminal from the supply battery(s) before drilling or cutting
into the RV.
Impact or crush hazard
• The device may become unstable and could detach, bend, or col-
lapse. Make sure mounting surface on the RV is flat, has solid structural
backing where fasteners penetrate the surface, and will safely and
securely support the product.
• Find a solid structure in the RV wall for support of top mounting
brackets.
Impact or pinch hazard
• Rapid casting spin off may occur. Spring tension will attempt to close
the awning quickly and unexpectedly.
Do not remove the nail from the torsion rod (at end cap) untilboth top
castings are secured to the corresponding main arms, and the awning
safety lock lever is in roll down position.
Straighten, remove, and discard the nail from the left end of the
torsion rod only.
!CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or
moderate injury.
Health hazard
• Use proper lifting technique and control when lifting the device.
• Maintain a horizontal distance of at least 410 mm between the fully
open awning and any permanent objects.

ANOTICE! Damage hazard
• Ensure that the awning rail is parallel to the RV floor, and is not warped
or curved before installing awning fabric. If the awning rail is not
straight, the awning fabric may wrinkle or stretch.
• Install back channels on a flat surface, level, and keep parallel with
each other to ensure correct function and appearance.
• Use sealant after cleaning the parts and surfaces where fasteners enter
the RV’s roof and/or walls to prevent moisture from entering.
• Observe the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
INOTE
• A stepladder may be necessary to reach awning rail.
• Make sure arm assemblies do not restrict use of doors, windows, etc.
• It‘s recommended 2 people install the awning. There are instances
detailed in the installing instructions that require 3 people to fit the
awning.

➤Proceed as shown to open the awning (fig. f, page 19 to fig. l, page 22).
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Ensure the awning is extended high enough before opening the
entry door.
• Ensure the lock lever is not flipped to the “roll-up” position prior to
swinging the main arm away from the RV. Failure to do so can cause
damage to the lock mechanism.
• Whenever heavy or prolonged rain or wind is anticipated, or you will
leave the awning unattended, it is best to close the awning. Damage
as a result of weather is not covered by warranty (see Ain figure
above).
•Donot over extend the awning. This creates a gutter trapping water
over the stitching as well as stretching the fabric, opening up the
holes around the stitching. To remove the gutter and allow the water
to run off the awning needs to be rolled back up so the RH seam is in
the shown position (see Bin figure above).
