Athena EN V01 2019
3.3. Unpacking the awning
Make sure that the weight of the Awning is towards the ground (gravity will help this
process). Unscrew and remove completely all 12 screws; 4 at each end of the tube and also
the 4 screws of the hardware compartment; put them aside for storage. Make sure that all
screws are removed since they may damage the awning if left on the tube. Once the
screws are removed, remove the end caps and the accessory compartment cover.
Afterwards, cut and remove the two green straps and pull the awning out of the tube, on
your lawn or on a canvas. A second person will be needed to safely perform this
operation.
Rest the awning on stands, on a canvas (tarp) or two stable chairs with the brackets and
the hand crank upwards. Remove the accessories packed on the awning. Carefully
remove the plastic wrapping, there is a groove behind the awning, this is the place to
insert the security knife. Do not use a regular knife or exacto as this can damage the
awning.
CAUTION: The Athena’s arms are spring-loaded and could open without warning. They
were closed in the factory, but if damaged during transportation, they could abruptly
open while being unwrapped.
