Please refer to the awning OEM operator's
manual. Keep your awning in good condition to
prevent costly repairs. It is very important to
keep the awning clean. If weather conditions
are windy or stormy, close the awning into the
travel mode position. Shut the awning in the
travel position if you will be away from the RV
for an extended period of time.
The 12-volt power awning may need to be
adjusted (retracted) to operate the entry door
(some OCTANE models).

Make sure that all obstacles are removed from
the path of the screen wall. Grip the strap
attached to the screen wall pull bar and pull
down. Grasp the pull bar and continue pulling
the screen wall until it is completely extended.
The screen wall has a grabber catch to secure
it at the floor of the trailer. To store the screen
wall, pull up on the pull bar handle to release it
from the grabber catch and push the screen up
until it is fully retracted.
To avoid damage to the screen wall and
possible injury, make sure it is fully
extended and snapped in place at the floor
when in use and fully retracted when not in
use.

If your RV is
factory-equipped
with
the rear
patio canopy and
screen
room
option, refer to
the
instructions
supplied by
Jayco in your
Goodie Bag. DO NOT use the instructions or
lift cables supplied by the Carefree of
Colorado. The rear ramp label should be kept
permanently affixed to your RV.
The factory-installed awning rail is standard
equipment above the ramp door on most
models. Jayco has made OEM approved
changes; to ensure correct installation of the
rear screen room use the following steps (it
may be easier with at least two people).
Setting up the ramp door
1. Unlock and lower the ramp door. Make
sure the transition ramp is folded back on
to the ramp door.
The screen room installer must use care
and not puncture or tear the screen room
on
the transition ramp during this
installation procedure.
2. Lift the ramp door parallel to the ground
and install the Jayco supplied cables (do
not use the OEM cables). The Jayco
added center cable support
must be
attached to the ramp door to keep the ramp
