1.
Unzip the outer sleeve holding the AirPole.
2.
Undo the collar and slide down the conical split washer on the affected side of the isolation valve. There may be multiple
valves per AirPole. You should now be able to remove the AirPole (keep the collar and washer safe).
3.
Unzip the protective sleeve of the AirPole to expose the bladder (inner tube).
4.
Locate the puncture. This is made easier if you
blow some air into the tube. For small holes it may
be necessary to submerge the bladder in water.
5.
Once the puncture has been located the bladder
can be repaired using repair tape. We recommend
product Kampa Dometic Awning & Tent Repair
Tape.
z
The repair can be enhanced by using a
combination of Repair Tape and Repair
Solution, which is a flexible adhesive. Follow the
manufacturer instructions to repair.

Another alternative is to replace the tube.
Spares are available from your dealer.
6.
Reassemble the AirPole, zip back into the sleeve
and reconnect the hoses to the isolation valves.
If you suspect a puncture follow the following procedure:
Inflate the awning and close all interior isolation valves (see Diagram 16). Wait for a while and then check each AirPole for
pressure. If there is reduced pressure in any AirPole check the connecting hoses to make sure that the collars are done up tightly
on the isolation valves. If you still suspect a leak it will be necessary to investigate the individual AirPole. If tightening the valve
collars does not solve the problem then the AirPole may be punctured.
You can remove an AirPole when the awning is inflated or deflated but if it’s inflated the isolation valves around the pole must be
closed.
WARNING
NEVER OPEN THE ZIP ON THE PROTECTIVE SLEEVE WHILST AN
AIRPOLE IS INFLATED. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE AIRPOLE BURSTING.
Awnings are best stored opened out. Air fully and ensure it is totally dry before packing away. Store in a well ventilated dry place.
A wet/damp awning will develop mildew surprisingly quickly. Mildew can also form when an awning is left up for long periods of
time with poor ventilation.
Dirty awnings can be washed using clean water and a soft brush. Do not scrub and never use detergents. If this does not clean the
awning, we recommend the use of Kampa Dometic Awning and Tent Cleaner. This cleaner, available as a 1 Litre spray and in 1L
Eco-Pouch Concentrated Refills, is ideal for use on Kampa Dometic awnings and tents and will thoroughly clean and help prevent
damage to our synthetic or our cotton materials.
As a precaution, we would always recommend that the awning is re-coated with our Kampa Dometic Waterproofer, available as a
Care
Kampa Dometic 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 and these may be present from new. 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. Do not let snow
build-up against windows.
