WARNING

  This product can expose you to chemicals including Di-

isodecyl phthalate (DIDP), Vinyl Chloride and Formaldehyde, which are 
known to the state of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other 
reproductive harm.  For more information visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov 

 

 

WARNING

  Risk of fire.  Keep all sources of heat and 

flame away from the awning canopy.  Fabric is 

NOT

 fireproof. 

 NOTICE  

Awnings are designed to provide shade and protection from the 

sun.  The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and can cause 
severe damage to the awning and/or the vehicle.  If wind or extended periods of 
rain are expected, roll up the awning.

 

 NOTICE

 

 

It is recommended that if leaving the RV unattended for a 

length of time, retract the awning to avoid unexpected weather conditions. 

NOTICE  

If installed, LED lighting must be turned off when the awning 

is in the rolled up position.  This is to prevent possible damage to the LEDs 
and/or canopy. 

NOTICE  

When the awning is in the retracted (rolled up) position, shut 

off the power switch to avoid accidentally extending the awning.  For 
safety, the power switch must be turned off before moving the RV. 

NOTICE

 

 

When storing the support legs, make sure that the legs are 

firmly secured inside the lead rail.  Open the latch and spread the channels 
until tight, then close the latch.  If not properly secured the supports can 
shift and catch inside the awning.  This can cause serious damage to the 
awning. 

Additional Cautions and Notices are included in the text for the proper operation 
of the awning.
