Electric Awning
When extending the awning always support to front as it extends. Do not allow the awning to carry the full extended
weight as this may damage the hinges. Support the end manually by hand or by using the extendable legs. Never
allow water to pool on the awning, during rain lower one side to a level that allows the water to freely run off and
not pool. In light to moderate breeze guy ropes should be used. In stronger winds the awning should be retracted
completely.
During rain, the awning should be lowered on one side as illustrated below.
To use guy ropes with your awning you should purchase sail track inserts pictured below that slide into the sail track
on the awning fascia. The displayed item is available from the brand Thule.
