UV DEGRADATION
Awning fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight. 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 sites, displays or for commercial pur-
poses.
CONDENSATION
Awnings contain a high proportion of synthetic materials and under certain conditions
will be affected by condensation inside the awning. This should not be confused with
leaking and condensation can be improved by ensuring adequate ventilation. Conden-
sation and its effects are not covered under the warranty.
SAFETY
DO NOT COOK IN THE AWNING OR USE NAKED FLAMES. READ AND UNDER-
STAND THE FIRE PRECAUTIONS LABEL SEWN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE AWN-
ING.
DISMANTLING
Reverse the set up procedure. Ensure that all parts are clean before packing in the
carry bag. If the awning is wet or damp, dry fully as soon as possible. Curtains should
be packed separately to the awning.
CARE
Awnings are best stored opened out. Air fully and ensure it is totally dry before pack-
ing 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.
To prevent corrosion steel and aluminium poles can be stored with a light coating of
petroleum jelly to protect them. Ensure that this is completely removed before use.
Damage due to improper use, wind damage or neglect is not covered under the war-
ranty. Have any damage repaired at the first opportunity.
Failure in the poles normally occurs through incorrect use. Make sure that poles sec-
tions are fully inserted into their adjoining pole. You can purchase replacement poles
from your dealer.
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, repair tape, and spare guy ropes and pegs for extreme
weather.
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.
