Mounting the POD w/Thule Rails
To use the Thule rail mounting method, the vehicle
MUST have a roof rack that runs from front to back
on each side that is elevated from the roof in the
center of each side span. The Thule rails mount
across the vehicle from side to side.
a) Place the Thule rails across the vehicle
putting the two spans approximately 41.5”
apart, center to center
b) Ensure power is removed
c) Route the control and RG6 cables through
the large round hole at the right rear of the
body of the POD
d) Connect the two RG6 and the one control
cable to the antenna. Ensure the water-tight
seals are in place and snug them down
against the RG6 connections on the antenna
e) Place the antenna inside the POD, if not pre-
installed
f) Place the POD on the Thule rails on the roof
of the vehicle mounting so the double hole
patterns span the Thule rails at both ends of
the antenna
g) Turn on power supply with Display unit
connected, and when READY screen
appears, press the “+” button on the
controller. Antenna will begin to move to the
vertical position.
h) Place the U bracket (shown above) around
the Thule rails and align with holes and put
button screws in place from the top-side
down. Do not tighten
i) Center unit on rails and make final
adjustments of the rails and POD assembly
j) Tighten the button head screws using a 5/32”
Allen wrench (supplied).
k) Tighten the Thule rails by adjusting the screw
mechanisms on each corner
l) Double-check all screws and Thule rails for
secure connection
m) Stow the antenna by pressing the “-“ button
on the control panel
n) When ready, place cover over POD securing
all fastening positions
NOTE: The stow height of your antenna has been
adjusted for optimum factory placement. The antenna
may extend slightly above the POD housing.

Awning/Marine
One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella brand fabrics
looking good and to delay the need for deep or
vigorous cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly
basis with clear water. This practice will help prevent
dirt from becoming deeply imbedded in the fabric and
eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous
cleanings. In most environments, a thorough cleaning
will be needed every two to three years.
When it's time for a thorough cleaning, Sunbrella
fabrics can be cleaned while still on an awning frame
or a boat or, size permitting, they can be removed for
cleaning in a washing machine.
When cleaning Sunbrella fabrics, it is important to
observe the following:
1) Always use a mild soap i.e. Ivory Snow, Dreft
or Woolite. Never detergent.
2) Water should be cold to lukewarm, never
more than 100 degrees.
3) Air dry only. Never apply heat to Sunbrella
fabrics.
If you are cleaning Sunbrella while still on an awning
frame or a boat, follow these simple steps:
1) Brush off loose dirt.
2) Hose down.
3) Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild
soap (no detergents).
4) Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
5) Allow soap to soak in.
6) Rinse thoroughly.
7) Air dry.
If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted
chlorine bleach/soap mixture for spot cleaning of
mildew, roof run-off or other similar stains (see our
Stain Chart at
http://www.sunbrella.com/usa/carecleaning_awningm
arine.shtml for specific recommendations).
1) Prepare a special cleaning mixture:
2) Four ounces (half cup) of chlorine
bleach.
3) Two ounces (one-fourth cup) of mild
soap.
4) One gallon of water.
5) Clean with soft bristle brush.
6) Allow mixture to soak for up to 20
minutes.
7) Rinse thoroughly.
8) Air dry.
9) Repeat if necessary.
Remember to protect the area around your Sunbrella
if using a bleach solution. Carpet or other fabrics that
are not Sunbrella may have an adverse reaction to
the bleach.
If an awning or boat cover is suitable in size for a
washing machine, these steps should be followed:
1) Use only mild soaps. No detergent.
2) Wash and rinse in cold water.
3) Air dry. Never put Sunbrella fabrics in
your dryer.
Re-treating the Fabric
As part of the finishing process, Sunbrella fabrics are
treated with a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances
water repellency. This finish is designed to last for
several years, but must be replenished after a
thorough cleaning. Based on test results, Glen Raven
recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ as the
preferred re-treatment product for Sunbrella fabrics.
Fabrics should be retreated after thorough cleaning
or after five years of use. Check with your local
Sunbrella dealer or distributor for more information.
Applying 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™
303 should be applied to Sunbrella fabrics after each
thorough cleaning, which typically removes the
original fluorocarbon finish and reduces the fabric's
water repellency. After cleaning the fabric, allow it to
air dry completely and then apply 303 in a thin, even
coat. After allowing the first coat of 303 to air dry,
apply a second thin, even coating of 303. Two light
coatings are more effective in restoring fabric water
resistance than a single heavy coating. A 15-ounce
bottle provides coverage of up to 50 square feet of
lightweight fabric. Always apply 303 to clean fabric.
