7. Next peg the annexe starting with
the rear corners (nearest the
caravan) ensuring that you pull the
pegging point under the van to
create a seal whilst ensuring the
sidewall is as vertical as possible.
Then peg the front corners, ensuring
that there is no slack material
between the four corners. Peg the
remaining pegging points, cross
pegging the doorways andentrances.
Adjust storm straps as necessary.
1. Ensure that the ground is free of stones and other sharp objects.
You may wish to lay a sheet of polyethylene on the ground to protect
your annexe. Unpack and spread the annexe on the ground.
2. Thread the annexe’s beading through the sail track on the caravan to
the desired position. The annexe should be positioned on the caravan
so the beading is horizontal. The beading should not slope.
3. Locate your annexe anchor clips which are sewn into the bottom
of the flysheet.
4. Attach the supplied ladder bands onto all the anchor clips by simply
pushing the ladder band into the anchor clip. To avoid damage to your
annexe, use all pegging points. The ladder bands are replaceable.
5. Next locate the inflation valve which is near ground level on the
main air beam. The valve is attached by a retaining strap and is not
pre-fitted therefore you will need to carefully screw this into place.
Remove the main valve cap and insert the Orbit® Air Pump’s inflation
nozzle and operate the pump accordingly. It may be necessary to
elevate the tube during the latter stage of inflation. Inflate to a
maximum of 7 psi and then screw the valve’s cap into position.
6. Close all zip entrances on the annexe flysheet
and peg out the storm straps.

SAIL TRACK
INSTALLATION
1. Layout the sail track lengths supplied in your
Orbit® Air Annexe bag in front of the caravan wall
that you will be installing on.
2. On the caravan wall, carefully measure and mark
a straight line and a starting point for your sail
track to follow.
3. Once you have worked out your end point cut
the excess length of sail track. Clean up the ends of
the sail track with a small round file to give a nice
clean entry. It is harder to do this after it is fixed to
the side of the caravan wall.
4.Apply small squares (say 10mm x 10mm)
of double sided self adhesive foam tape (1.5mm
thick) about every 300mm to the caravan wall
along the line where you want the sail track to be
positioned. Keep the end patches about 75mm
from the ends of the sail track.
5. Then apply a bead of Sikaflex 11F between the
tape patches for the full length of the sail track.
6 . Press the sail track onto the tape
patches and squeeze the Sikaflex out.
The tape will hold the sail track in
position until the Sikaflex sets (allow 24
hours minimum before "testing”).
Important: When fixing and aligning
the sail track lengths to the caravan
wall, make sure there is no gap
between the sail track join, so the air
annex slides in and out of the sail track
channel smoothly. Seal joins with extra
Sikaflexto avoid water going through
if needed.
7. Clean up any excess Sikaflex
immediately with clean rags and turps
as excess Sikaflex will hamper the air
annexe to slide in and out of the sail
track smoothly.
8. Job done!
8. Your annexe is supplied with two adjustable rear support poles.
Ensure the rear weather seal pads are located between your caravan’s
wall and the rear support poles. The poles should be inserted with the
bottom part through the retaining loop located at the base of the rear
seal pads and with the flat end inserted into the integral pocket in the
top back end of annexe above the rear seal pads. Adjust these poles
as necessary to obtain the correct tension using the adjustable quick
lock bracket.
9. Ensure the weather skirt is laid and pegged correctly to help stop any
water entering the annexe. The weather skirt has a dual pegging system
so the skirt can be pegged inside or outside the annexe.
10. Located in the central air beam is an integral sewn-in vertical storm pole
pocket which can be used in conjunction with a rear support pole in
certain weather conditions to aid stability and any water dispersal.
Insert the flat end of the pole with the black plastic protection piece
into the integrated storm pole pocket and adjust it to the correct tension
(slightly lifting the roof, but taking care not to over adjust) and tighten
using the quick lock brake.
TAKING DOWN YOUR ANNEXE
Taking down your annexe should ideally be done when the annexe is
completely dry. If taken down wet, dry completely at the first opportunity
to avoid damage to your annexe.
To dismantle your annexe, deflate each tube by unscrewing the dust cap
and then the valve from the bladder. Un-peg the annexe and then
release the beading from the caravan sail track channel.
The annexe should be folded carefully and packed in a dry safe place.
Leave the valves un-fitted whilst being stored.

ANNEXE WEATHERING
Your Orbit® Air Annexe has been sewn using a special waterproof
thread. This special thread swells to seal the needle holes made
during the manufacturing process. In order for the thread to become
functional it needs to be weathered. The weathering process will
require the thread to be wet through several times before becoming
totally effective. This area may also be treated with seam sealant.
UV DEGRADATION
Your annexe is a temporary structure which has a UPF50 protection
factor but is itself susceptible to attack from UV. Long term or
permanent exposure to UV can weaken the fabric.
MAIN SEAMS
Your Orbit® Air Annexe is manufactured using waterproof fabric and
has had most of its main seams hot air taped, during production to
help prevent water leakage. However, it is sometimes not possible to
fully seal these seams, due to the nature of the materials used,
features incorporated or sewing methods utilised, and it may be
necessary to apply seam sealant manually. A tube of seam sealant is
supplied with your annexe for this purpose.
REMAINING SEAMS
To maximise the Orbit® Air Annexe’s weather proofing it will be
necessary to treat the remaining seams with the seam sealant
provided. Seam sealant should also be used where the tape may be
damaged, peeled away or interrupted by tie points, suspension
points or other features.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
WE HIGHLY RECCOMMEND INSTALLING A
‘’ANNEXE DOOR PROTECTION ROLLER” TO
AVOID TEARING YOUR ORBIT AIR ANNEXE
This roller must be fitted to the top outer corner of the door to prevent the
corner of the door causing damage to your annexe. If the roller is not fitted,
the fabric of the annexe can be damaged by the sharp corner of the door
when it is opened.
DRYING YOUR ANNEXE
If you do need to pack away your annexe while it’s wet, remove all storm
straps first and pack these separately. This will help to avoid any damage
to your annexe. When drying your annexe, dry it with the flysheet top side
exposed. Failure to do this will result in damage to the waterproof coating
on the underside of your flysheet,which may result in colour distortion,
waterproof failure and fabric failure.
CONDENSATION
Annexes containing synthetic material are sometimes affected by
condensation. This can normally be cured by ensuring adequate ventilation
through making full use of the annexe’s ventilation or by leaving doorways
slightly unzipped whenever possible. Under certain conditions, all annexes
will suffer from internal condensation depending on atmospheric
conditions, evening and night time temperatures, and moisture in the air
and ground. Condensation can be quite severe, causing a film of water
inside the roof and walls which can drip into the annexe and even leave
puddles of water. Don’t blame the annexe or confuse this with leakage –
ventilation is the answer.

CARBON MONOXIDE
Ensure you understand the
dangers of carbon monoxide
poisoning and take precautions
at all times. Remember you
can’t smell it or see it but it can
kill you. Do not use a barbecue
in your annexe. Remove side
door panels if there is a vent or
a flue inside the annexe.
FIRE SAFETY
Annexe fabric is fire retardant but not fireproof.
Do not smoke or use a naked flame in or near
your annexe.
TRIP HAZARD
Storm straps may be a trip hazard.
Take care when walking around them.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DEATH
WARNING: UNZIP BOTH DOOR SECTIONS
This will ensure ventilation for gas & carbon monoxide required

CARE INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
STORM STRAPS
Your annexe is supplied with storm straps that should be attached to the
captive clips on the flysheet. Storm straps are intended to help secure your
annexe but should not be relied on in extremes of weather.
ZIPS
Zips should be treated with care. Use two hands when closing and opening
and do not step on them during set-up or take-down. Never force a zip. If a
zip opening is tight, it is more than likely because the annexe is not pitched
correctly.
ALTERATIONS
Alterations made to the annexe are made at the owner’s risk and will
invalidate your warranty.
REPAIRS
Repairs made to the annexe that are not carried out by an authorised Orbit®
Air Annexe agent or recommended repairer are done at the owner’s risk.
CLEANING
The inside and outside of your annexe should be cleaned only with fresh
clean water and a damp cloth. Under no circumstances use detergents or
chemical cleaners as they will damage the fabric and its waterproofing.
STORING
Annexes must only be stored when completely dry. Remove all storm
straps if they are not completely dry to avoid any damage being done to
your annexe. A wet or damp annexe can develop mildew or mould
very quickly. Store your annexe and its components in a dry, well
ventilated place.
orbitairtech.com.au

INFLATABLE AIR BEAMS
Your Orbit® Air Annexe has inflatable air beams which are held and
protected within a stout retaining sleeve. The zips on the retaining sleeves
are secured with a fabric tie and should not be undone unless you need to
replace or repair a bladder. If you remove the ties for any reason while
deflated, ensure you close the zips and secure them with the ties before
re-inflating.
Bladders on your annexe require a maximum 7 psi of pressure so it is
important to use the pump provided, which has a pressure gauge and
dump valve so that this is not exceeded. Because air pressure increases
when the air is warmed, we recommend that you pump to less than 7 psi
in extremely hot weather or pump to 7 psi and monitor the tubes, letting
air out as necessary. See the VARIATION IN TEMPERATURE section for
further information. An emergency repair patch is enclosed for repair of
small holes in your air beam.
VARIATION IN TEMPERATURE
It may be necessary to monitor the air pressure in your air tubes from
time to time, especially if the weather is fluctuating or the temperature
is hotter or colder than average.
Hot Weather - When the outside temperature rises, the air pressure in
the bladders may increase, so monitor the air tubes and release air as
required. Not doing this may cause the bladder to fail.
Cold Weather - When the outside temperature falls, the air pressure in
the bladders may decrease and it may be necessary to top up the air
pressure to keep the bladders firm. A drop in pressure should not be
treated as a leak or puncture until further investigated.
VALVES
The valves on the air tubes are attached by retaining straps. The valves are not pre-fitted so you
will need to screw them into place. Screw the valve body on, ensuring you do not cross-thread
it. Seal the valve securely but do not over-tighten. A faulty valve may cause air tubes to deflate
and this should be investigated fully.
Please note that all valves should be fully unscrewed when you take your annexe down.
Do not store your annexe with the valves in place as they may become ineffective if stored
whilst under compression.
AIR PUMP
Your Orbit® Air Annexe is supplied with a manual air pump which has a
pressure gauge and dump valve and has been specially designed for use
on our Orbit® Air Annexes. Do not use any other type of pump. Attach the
dump valve and hose to the side marked “inflate” and use the gauge to
avoid over-inflation.
Always store your pump in the carry bag provided. The pump contains
lubricant to function, and storing it in the bag will protect your annexe
from contact with the lubricant.
