Unscrew the top cap, of the inflation valve (6), and attach the pump nozzle (7). Start to
pump (8). It is not possible to over inflate the awning with the pump supplied. An ideal
inflation pressure will be between 9 -11 psi (0.62 - 0.76 BAR), but do not worry about the
pressure when using the pump supplied as it cannot over-inflate the awning. Pump as
much air as you can. Once the awning has a good amount of air in it, pull or push the front
of the awning outwards so that the AirPoles can assume their correct shape (9).
Once all the AirPoles have sprung outwards, give the awning a few more pumps until the
poles feel hard to the touch (10). If necessary take a rest before adding more pressure.
Pegging
The awning should be pegged out in a set sequence to help ensure the correct shape
and fit is achieved. Close all doors and entrances. The rear corners will have already been
pegged by this stage (Peg Points A - please refer to diagram).
The front corners should now be pegged (Peg Points B). Make sure that the awning is sit
-
ting squarely on your caravan, if necessary adjust the pegging at the four corners ensuring
that the sides and front are stretched tight. Go inside the awning and ensure that the main
AirPoles are sitting in their pockets at the base of the awning.
The centre points along each side panel (Peg Points C) should now be pegged (Rally only).
All remaining intermediate pegging points and the awning skirt can now be secured. The
pegging points have a range of possible pegging options (3a). Select a point that puts the
awning under tension but without over stressing. Once completed, the awning should look
taut without too many creases - if necessary re-adjust the pegging and if the poles are
bent increase the pressure.
Once you are happy with the pressure screw on the inflation point cap until it is tight to
prevent leaking.
Quickpitch Guying
The Rally AIR, Rally AIR Pro and Ace AIR come with a Quickpitch guying system (11).
Fiesta AIR Pro awnings have traditional type guy lines that are pre-attached (12). We
recommend that these are used at all times. Peg the straps so that the awning is under
tension without distorting the shape, they should run in-line with the seams. The guy lines
can be adjusted using the buckles (Quickpitch System) or the runners (traditional type guy
lines).
DO NOT allow children to play around your awning.
Guy lines are a trip hazard
Pegs
The awning comes complete with general purpose pegs. These will be suitable for
many sites but there will be some instances where different pegs will be necessary. Your
dealer will stock a range of pegs suitable for different types of ground. For maximum
effectiveness, pegs should be driven into the ground at a 45° angle away from the pegging
point (see Diagram).
CAUTION: Pegs can be sharp. Do not allow children to play around the
awning and ensure that suitable protective footwear is worn.
