ERECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Tip; REFER TO P OTOGRAP W EN PUTTING UP COMPACTALITE PRO CLASSIC 250
Ideally this is a 2 person process to avoid awning damage.
1.
Lay the outer/ lysheet and spread out on the ground, Ensure all panels are zipped up ully. Before starting to put the
awning on your caravan check the edges of the channel for any sharp corners or damage as this can snag the
fabric and sometimes cause damage to the awning. Slide the awning pro ile through the caravan rail, and spread
evenly across the caravan roo .
2.
Once the awning is in the desired position on your caravan open the pole bag and take out the 3 ibreglass roo poles
and 3 steel poles and lay out on the ground, (Most poles are broken during pitching so take extreme care at this
stage) – Spare poles can be purchased from outdoor-revolution.com if you accidentally break one. In the case
o the ibre poles ensure the poles are seated correctly within each o the metal errules when opening out.
3.
First take one o the ibreglass pole sections and slide through either o the outer roo channels, then locate one o the
steel vertical poles into position using the errel at the end o the ibreglass pole. A ter this has been done locate the
steel pole into position using the pin on the ‘ring and pin’ assembly located on the black webbing around the oot o the
awning and then tension the pole by using the itted adjuster. Continue this process with the remaining poles. Finally
clip the black plastic locating clips to the poles.
4.
You will now notice the two outer poles will drop inwards onto the awning canvas, in order to recti y this take the
stability strap on one end and peg out, this will pull the pole outwards and hold it in position whilst you work on setting
the awning, a ter you have done this repeat the process at the other end (only knock the peg in hal way as it is likely
you will have to reset this at the end.) A ter this has been done the back o the awning by the caravan should now be
pegged through the steel rings at the corners and the buckles tensioned slightly.
5.
The sections or the steel stabiliser pole should now be taken inside the awning. The shaped cross pole should be
opened out and the 2 legs should be attached. I you look at the ront o the awning you will see a number o ‘zipped
sleeves’ and tapes these are to hold the stabiliser pole in place. Unzip the sleeves and o er up the assembly into
position and complete by zipping the sleeves and tying the tapes Then connect the pole legs at either side by using
the metal pins on ‘ring and pin’ assembly at the base o the awning, then inally zip up the sleeves.
6.
You may notice the ront section o the awning may rise up o the ground this is not a problem and once you have the
corners pegged should pull back down (this is due to the tension on the steel stability bar)
7.
Now continue by placing pegs in the 2 ront corners o the awning ollowed by pegging the remaining points along the
ront, ensuring all pegging is in a straight line. Remember when pegging to use the ‘ring and pin’ assemblies as
pegging points through the centre o the ring. (Do not over tension as this can sometimes lead to damaged zips) TIP
pegs per orm best when inserted at 45 degrees into the ground.
8.
Peg the gusseted langes at the rear o the awning in such a way that a seal is ormed against the caravan side. The
shock cord can be gently tightened to maximise this seal by pulling tight through the black toggle.
9.
Guy lines can now be tensioned and pegged (remember you may have to re-adjust the yellow stability straps you
positioned earlier) please ensure in heavy weather that ALL guy lines and the stability straps are used.
10.
Take care not to over tension as this can damage your awning or awning zips. (Please note that ailure to use all the
lines may result in your awning being damaged)
