Important Information
Recommendations
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you rst install your Rhino
SUNSEEKER II Awning. Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (probably once a week
is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). You should also check the
roof bars each time they are retted.
Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Layout
Note: Use caution in windy conditions!
The pegs and ropes must always be used
when the SUNSEEKER II awning is open.
