Emergency Operation
If power to the vehicle is not available, the awning can be re-
tracted by jumping the motor using a 10VDC – 14VDC power
source such as a cordless drill battery or car battery.
Locate and separate the quick disconnects located in the motor
arm channel. Position the wires from the motor on the outside
of the channel.
1. Attach jumper wires to the motor wires. Connect the other
ends of the jumper leads to the 10VDC–14VDC source.
If the awning moves in the wrong direction, reverse the
leads.
2. Maintain contact throughout the retraction process.
3. Hold the wires from the motor on the outside of the chan-
nel while closing the awning. This provides access for
opening the awning.
4. When power is restored, use the jumper wires and extend the awning to access the cable
disconnects. Re-attach the disconnects and secure in the arm channel.
Additional Awning Operation Information

When rolled out, the fabric may “bounce” creating a wave like motion in the
canopy fabric. This can creates the appearance of moving jerkily.

Vinyl may have a tendency to “cling” to the when not used for an extended period
of time. Open and close the awning in short bursts 2 or 3 times, the awning will
then open normally.
If the awning does not operate, contact the Carefree Service Center. See www.carefreeof-
colorado.com for a listing of service centers.
