3 Operation
WARNING: IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD.
Failure to obey the following warnings could
result in death or serious injury:
• Do
not
travel in the RV if the awning fabric is torn or
damaged, even if the awning closes fully. Damaged
awning fabric can compromise the awning’s stability
and could allow the awning to extend quickly and
unexpectedly during transit.
• Verify that the ignition/safety interlock is working
correctly before traveling in the RV. If the awning
responds to the wall switch when the ignition is in
the ON position, accidental operation during transit
could occur. Disable the awning. Contact a qualified
service technician.
CAUTION: PINCH HAZARD.
Keep clear of the shoulder assemblies while closing
the awning. Shoulder assemblies close against the
back rail. Failure to obey this caution could result in
minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE:
Do
not
allow the awning fabric to rest on the
rafters. Wind can cause the awning fabric to rub against
the shoulder assemblies, which could result in premature
wear and abrasions.
This section describes how to operate, and adjust the awning.
