IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE 
 

If you suspect a puncture follow the following procedure: 
 
Close all the isolation valves in the awning.  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 compression fittings are done up tightly.  
If you still suspect a leak it will be necessary to investigate the individual AirPole.   
If tightening the hose fittings does not solve the problem then the AirPole may be 
punctured.   
 

TO REMOVE AN AIRPOLE 

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. 
 

NEVER OPEN THE ZIP ON THE GREY INNER TUBES WHILST 
THE POLES ARE INFLATED 
 

Unzip the sleeve holding the AirPole. 
 

 

Undo the compression fittings on the punctured pole side of the isolation 
valve.  There may be one or two per pole. 

 

You should now be able to remove the AirPole 

 

Unzip the protective cover of the AirPole to expose the inflatable tube. 
NEVER UNDO THE ZIP IF THE TUBE IS UNDER PRESSURE 

 

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 inflatable tube in water.   

 

Once located the tube can be repaired using repair tape.  We recommend 
the following: 

 

 

Kampa Awning & Tent Repair Tape 

 
The repair can be enhanced by using a combination of one of the above with 
one of these flexible adhesives: 
 

 

Kampa Repair Solution 

 
10.  Follow the manufacturers instructions to repair.   
11.  Another alternative is to replace the tube.  Spares are available from your 

dealer or direct from Kampa. 

12.  Reassemble the AirPole, zip back into the sleeve and reconnect the hose/s 

to the isolation valve/s.

CARE 

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.  Dirty awnings can be washed using clean 
water and a soft brush.  Do not scrub and never use detergents. 
 
The  AirPoles  do  not  need  any  maintenance  but  should  be  protected  from 
damage during storage.  Damage due to improper use, wind damage or neglect 
is  not  covered  under  the  warranty.    Have  any  damage  repaired  at  the  first 
opportunity.   
 
Zips  should  be  treated  with  care,  use  two  hands  to  close  and  open  and  never  
tread  on  them.    Never  force  a  zip.   We  strongly  recommend  that  you  carry  a 
comprehensive spares kit including silicone waterproof spray, seam sealer and 
tape for repairing the AirPoles.  
 
Repairs to the flysheet should be made by a company recommended by Kampa 
or  your  supplying  dealer.    Repairs  and  alterations  made  by  an  unauthorised 
company may invalidate your warranty.
