Mounting the roof awning (sectional view)
Roof awning
• An awning offers protection from the sun, not against the
elements.
• Do not place people or obstacles in the extension/retrac-
tion area of the awning.
• The awning winding mechanism is fitted with a mecha-
nical block control to limit the extent to which it can be
extended. Never attempt to exceed the block control by
force.
• Always support the awning with the integrated support
legs when extended.
• The awning must always be completely retracted and
secured before driving.
Extending
• Insert the hook on the winding handle into the slot
j
on the win-
ding mechanism.
• Hold the handle with one hand on the upper twist grip and the
other on the lower twist grip. During the operating procedure
gently pull the handle towards you and hold it as vertically in the
slot
j
as possible.
• Turn the winding handle clockwise until the awning has been
rolled out about 1 m.
• Unfold the adjustable support legs on the inside of the drop tube
and use them to support the awning.
• Insert the fastening hook.
• Only then should you roll out the awning to the desired position.
• Remove the winding handle.
• Then, to stabilise the awning, fold out and fasten the supporting
arms which are also located on the inner side of the front profile.
