Assemble the two Easy Alloy “back poles” and fit the blanked end of the pole into the small black
pocket on the “packer”, located down the side of the caravan. Ensure that the packer itself is lying
flat against the caravan.
The AiR tube must be fully into the top corner of the awning with the
packer lying flat between the caravan and AiR tube and the Velcro strips art the very top attached
.
As shown in the photos below.

IMPORTANT
The foot of the “back pole” should be inserted into a pegging ladder at the base of the
packer. By doing this, you will get much better tension and a much better overall appearance of the
awning. As mentioned previously, there are 2 sewn-in ladder clips at this point. One to peg to the
ground with and the other for this pole. See diagram 2 on page 2. Apply a small amount of vertical
tension to the pole from the ground upwards, to hold the packer against the caravan.
(Too much
tension here will damage the pocket into which the pole is fitted. Please make sure the pole is not
extended further than the height of the pocket).
Tie the pole in position with the ties provided.
At this point you can peg the two front corners of the awning. Before pegging you must
a)
ensure
that the canvas footprint is square to the caravan and taut along the bottom of all three sides and,
b)
you peg, if possible on the same “ladder” position you used when pegging at the back next to the
caravan. Ladder “Rung” number 3 is ideal. Rungs 1 and 6 are for emergency use only.
There are 2 pump adapters supplied. The larger for the electric pump, the smaller for the foot pump.
These should be fitted to each pump hose. You may have to remove any already fitted adapter from
the hose ensuring you leave on the fitting that connects to the pump
. (It is easier to simply cut off
the unwanted fitting.)
Screw the valve inflation adapter into the chosen valve ensuring that it is not cross threaded
. (This
should only require between 0.5 and 1.0 clockwise turn to seal sufficiently.)
If using the electric pump, set the dial located on the front of the pump body to
“30”.
This should
deliver a final pressure of approx.
0.3Bar
, the working pressure. The pump will automatically stop at
the pre-set pressure. Should the pump not automatically stop, it is likely that a valve has been left
“locked open” (see paragraph 3 on page 1) or the adapter is cross threaded.
(The pump is capable of
delivering up to 1.0Bar which is
too high,
so please ensure the dial is set correctly).
