6.
Open the deflation valves on each pole (5). The awning will start to deflate. Wait until
most of the air has been expelled.
7.
Un-peg the four corners and slide the awning out of the awning rail.
8.
Using two people, hold the awning at the tie down attachment points and lay the
awning down on the ground so that the outside of the roof is on the ground and
the front windows are upwards on top of the roof. Protect the awning from dirt and
damage. Fold each end inwards to create a rectangle. Roll the awning towards the
deflation valves to expel more air and then roll to fit in the carry bag. Please refer to
the Diagram 17 sequence for guidance)
9.
Ensure that the awning is totally dry before storing in a cool, dry, dark space: if
possible opened out.
Seams
The main seams of this awning have been factory taped to help prevent leakage.
Depending upon your expectations, it may be necessary to treat the remaining seams
with a seam sealant. Seam sealant should also be applied to areas where the taping
is damaged or has peeled away through wear and tear. It can also be applied to areas
where a leak may have developed. Kampa® seam sealant is available from your dealer.
The awning beading is sewn to the awning with a special waterproof sewing thread. This
thread swells when wet to fill the needle holes but thread needs to become wet several
times before it is totally effective. This is known as ‘weathering’.
UV Degradation
Awning fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Kampa awning
fabric is treated to protect it from UV. Under normal holiday use your awning will give long
service but use for extended periods in strong sunlight will soon cause deterioration. In
those cases it would be wise to use a site as shaded as possible. UV degradation is not
covered under the warranty. The warranty does not cover awnings used on permanent or
semi-permanent sites, displays or for commercial purposes.
Condensation
Under certain conditions awnings will be affected by condensation inside. Please refer
to the section at the beginning of the manual for more information about condensation.
Condensation and its effects are not covered under the warranty.
SAFETY
DO NOT COOK IN THE AWNING OR USE NAKED FLAMES.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FIRE PRECAUTIONS LABEL
SEWN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE AWNING.
Windows
Kampa use a high quality window material designed to give the clearest view out. Due to
environmental regulations, the composition of the window material means that there may
be some impressions in the window, particularly after storage and folding. These are not
faults. We suggest, particularly in cold conditions and certainly in sub-zero temperatures,
that the awning/panels containing the windows are thoroughly warmed up before set up.
