Mandalay 2006 Presidio, Manual

Page: 78 / 130

Manually Closing the Automatic Awning:
• Two people will be needed to perform this procedure.
• Slide the provided pull strap into the utility slot of the Fabric Roller Tube Assembly.
• Make sure that one person is securely holding onto the pull strap, while the other
person removes the bolt in the top of the right top casting. Once the bolt is removed
the FRTA will want to roll in on its own. This is why it is very important to hold the
strap securely.
• While holding the strap, let the FRTA slowly retract until it is in the closed position.
• Once the awning is in the closed position, align the hole where the bolt was removed
and reinstall to secure the awning. The bolt must be reinstalled to prevent the awning
from opening during travel.
NOTE: The awning must be serviced by a Dometic Service Center or a qualified service
technician before attempting to open the awning after this procedure has been
performed.
NOTE: If threatening weather approaches, you need to retract all awnings. If the
awnings are rolled up wet, open them back up as soon as possible to allow them to
dry. Also, do not drive during periods of high winds.
