Retract the awning if strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall are
imminent.

Make sure that water or snow does not accumulate on the fabric.
Otherwise this could damage the awning or the awning arms could
collapse and cause severe or fatal injury.
•
Do not approach the awning
–
if it was left open during heavy winds
– if pools of water have formed on it
– if snow has accumulated on it
– if any debris is on the awning fabric.
The awning may move unexpectedly, become unstable and bend or
break off.
•
Do not leave the extended awning unattended. Retract the awning
before leaving your site.
•
Keep a safe distance away from the awning when having barbecues or
open fires. The fabric can be damaged by heat or catch fire.

This device can be used by children aged 8 years or over, as well as by
persons with diminished physical, sensory or mental capacities or a

A
NOTICE!
•
Park the motor home or caravan at a site where debris (branches,
leaves or similar) cannot fall onto the fabric.
•
The fabric of the awning should not hang down at the edges, and must
remain taut at all times. If the fabric hangs down, it could rub against
the arms and become damaged.
The fabric used for long awnings should not sag in the middle.
•
Only retract the awning when the fabric is free of debris (branches,
leaves or similar). Otherwise the awning may be damaged when it is
retracted.
•
Keep the awning free of dirt to prevent abrasions, stains and mildew.
•
Only retract the awning if it is wet for safety reasons. Extend it again as
soon as possible. Otherwise, mildew or stains can form or the colour
may fade.
•
Never bend down an awning arm or the cover to drain water off the
awning. This can bend the awning and impair its function.
