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. Always set the awning for wet conditions if leaving up overnight in case of unexpected rain. If
high winds are possible, pack the awning away overnight. It is your responsibility to know the weather prediction.
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.
