Before first use
Familiarize yourself with the product by carrying
out a test set up before the product is used for the
first time. Check if the scope of delivery is
complete.
Choosing a site
Choose a flat site that is protected from wind:
1. If necessary, use a windbreak.
2. Choose a shaded site to avoid UV degradation
of the fabric.
3. Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches,
resin, etc. can damage the product.
4. Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to
avoid damaging the groundsheet.
5. Set up the product with the doors facing away
from the wind.
Setting up the awning tent

Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the
awning tent:
• The figures provide a general overview of the
set-up. The actual set-up will vary slightly based
on the model of awning tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• After standing the awning tent upright, check
the corner pegs and re-peg if necessary. The
groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in
a rectangular shape.
• Peg the guy lines so that the awning tent is under
tension without distorting the shape.
• If available, attach the storm straps.
• Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure
adequate tension, if necessary use the runners to
adjust.
Set up the awning tent as follows:
1. To protect the awning tent from dirt and dam-
age, lay down a groundsheet or footprint
before unpacking.
2. Unpack the awning tent.
3. Separate and identify the different compo-
nents.
4. Proceed as shown to set up the awning tent
CAUTION! Risk of injury and mate-
rial damage
Never open the zipper on the protective
sleeve while an air pole is inflated. This
will result in the air pole bursting.
NOTE
When attaching to fixed awning rails, the
optional Club/Ace/Grande extensions
and sun-wings can be used.
When attaching to cassette awning rails,
it is recommended to
not
use the
optional Club/Ace/Grande extension.
CAUTION! Risk of injury and mate-
rial damage
• Do not use any type of compressor
designed to inflate car tires.
• Only inflate the air poles into the green
zone of the pressure gauge of the sup-
plied hand pump (9 psi/0.62 bar).
NOTICE! Material damage
• Do not open or close the zippers by
force.
• If a wind-out awning is used to attach
the awning tent, support the wind-out
awning while working to avoid putting
too much stress on it. After attaching
the awning tent, rewind the wind-out
awning fully back into its housing.
NOTE
• The awning tent comes with heavy
duty pegs. These will be suitable for
many sites but for some types of
ground special pegs will be needed.
Ask your dealer.
• Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away
from the awning tent into the ground.
• Peg each guy line in-line with the seam
it starts from.
