Additional Awning Operation Information
The awning motor is equipped with a thermal protection circuit to protect the motor
from overheating. Operating the awning repeatedly over a short time period may cause
the circuit to sense an overheat condition and shut off the motor. If this occurs, wait
approximately 15 minutes to allow the motor to cool then operate the awning in normal
fashion.
The awning seems to extend and retract slowly. Normal operation time is 28-35
seconds to extend or retract. If the power supply is on the low side of the acceptable
voltage range (10VDC – 14VDC) the awning will move slower.
If the awning does not operate, contact the Carefree Service Center. Visit the Carefree
website at www.carefreeofcolorado.com for a listing of service centers.
Always operate the awning according to the instructions.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. (Tighten if necessary)
Keep the awning fabric and arms clean.
