OWNER MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1. Lubricate the rafter arms and support arms using paraf-
fin wax or silicone spray.
2. Periodically clean the awning fabric with 1/4 cup of dish
soap and 1/4 cup of bleach mixed with 5 gallons of warm
water. Allow to dry before rolling awning back up.
3. Mildew cannot form on the fabric, but rather will form on
dirt or dust on the fabric. The key is to keep the fabric
clean.
4. To remove grease spots from vinyl fabrics, use only a
soap and water solution. Avoid use of caustic household
cleaners, mildew removers or hard bristle brushes.
5. Occasionally the awning may develop a pinhole, actu-
ally a spot of paint flakes off from the top layer of vinyl.
This may be quickly remedied with a very small dab
of VLP (Vinyl Liquid Patch) on the tip of a Q-tip®. By
gently rolling the Q-tip® around the pinhole, the VLP
will melt the paint (in the stripe) and that will quickly fill
in the pinhole with a perfect match. Be sure to wait until
the VLP (Dometic P/N 143498) sets before rolling up
the awning.
6. Always make sure the awning is extended high enough
before opening entry door.
7. Lower one end of awning for proper water run-off and
to avoid water pooling.
