SITING
Choose a site that is flat and, if possible, protected
from the wind. Try to set up your awning with the
doors facing away from the wind.
SET UP
To protect your awning from dirt and damage, it may
be beneficial to lay a groundsheet or awning carpet
down before unpacking.
Unpack the awning, separate and identify the differ-
ent parts (a frame diagram is included with these
instructions). At this stage you may wish to zip out
the four wall panels. This will make it easier to han-
dle the awning roof.
Slide the awning beading, on the rear of the awning
roof, through the caravan awning channel until it is
in your required position (A). Attach the bracket
pads to the beading on the inside of the roof (B).
There are three brackets. One should be positioned
in the middle of the awning and one in each of the
rear corners. Undo the turn-screw to loosen the
clamp, attach and then retighten. Do not worry too
much about positioning as these can be adjusted
when the awning is set up. Identify the different
parts of the awning frame and roughly lay them out
under the awning canvas in their approximate posi-
tions. Go inside the awning and taking bracket (1)
pass this through the hole in the centre apex of the
awning. The arm with the plastic adjusting clamp
should pass through to the outside. Attach leg (5) to
the centre bracket but do not extend the leg above
head height. Locate the hook on the end of the roof
rafter (4) into the centre bracket pad (C) and extend
it so that some pressure is exerted on the front
bracket (D). Take one of the apex to eave poles
(10) and attach to one side of the centre bracket (E).

Attach the corner bracket (2 or 3) onto the end of
this pole and locate through the opening (F) in the
top corner of the awning (adjusting clamp out
again). Attach a leg (6) into the bracket (G) and
then take a roof rafter (4) attach it to the corner
bracket pad (H) and then attach the end of the pole
onto the corner bracket. Repeat the other side.
Before raising the legs to their full height go outside
and attach the stub canopy poles (8) to the brackets
and then insert the front canopy poles (11/12)
through the sleeves (I) in the front of the canopy
and attach to the hooks on the stub canopy poles
(J).
Using the clamp attach the rear legs (7) to the two
outside roof rafters (K). Adjust the length and ten-
sion. These should be positioned against the rear
bumper pad and the pads against the caravan.
Replace all panels and close all doorways and en-
trances.
