The QuickPitch straps/guy lines should be utilised at all times. However, for extra security an optional Storm Tie-Down Kit is
available (see Diagram 14a/14b). Ensure that the storm strap is pegged under tension but not so that it distorts the shape of the
awning. The tie-downs should always be used in pairs.
Storm Tie-Down Kit (optional)
To pack away the awning:
1.
Inspect the awning to ensure that all the interior isolation valves are open (these usually remain open and do not normally
need to be adjusted) (see Diagram 17).
2.
Close all doors and openings.
3.
Close all window blinds or remove curtains.
4.
Unpeg any Quickpitch straps/guy lines and, if fitted, the tie down kit.
5.
Unpeg all pegging points but keep the four corners in place.
6.
Open all external deflation valves (2). The awning will start to deflate. Wait until most of the air has been expelled.
7.
Unpeg the four corners and slide the awning out of the awning rail.
Note: If fitted to a roll-out awning this may need to be unwound slightly. Please ensure that the roll-out awning mechanism is
supported during this process.
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.
The main seams of Pro awnings 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 tape is
damaged or has peeled away through wear and tear. It can also be applied to areas where a leak may have developed. Kampa
Dometic
seam sealant is available from your dealer.
All-Season awnings are sewn with a special waterproof thread to help to prevent leakage. This thread swells when wet to fill the
needle holes but the thread needs to become wet several times before it is totally effective. This process is known as ‘weathering’
and it may take several soakings for the weathering to be fully effective. This area can also be treated with seam sealant.
Awning fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Kampa Dometic 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
fading and may lead to 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.
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.
Fit the curtains (see Diagram 15). Check curtain size/shape against window size/shape before fitting.
