Slide-out Cover
The slide-out cover automatically reacts to
slide-out direction. A fixed edge of the slide-out
cover is installed into an awning rail, mounted
just above the slide-out. A spring-loaded roller
with special brackets mounts to the slide-out. In
a hard rain the cover helps prevent water from
penetrating the seal of the slide-out. The slide-
out cover will automatically reach full extension.
The slide-out cover automatically rolls up into
the travel position when the slide-out room is
completely retracted.
NOTE:
When retracting the slide-out, stop the
room approximately halfway. Confirm
that the fabric is properly rolling before
fully retracting the slide-out.
CAUTION:
The slide room and slide-out awning
should be retracted before heavy wind,
rain or snow to prevent damage to the
awning or motorhome. Wind can drive
rain under the slide-out awning and into
the motorhome.
CAUTION:
At least five feet of clearance is needed
between the side of the motorhome and
any objects, such as trees or fences,
to allow the slide room and slide-out
awning to fully extend.
CAUTION:
Rain water can pool on the slide-out
awning. The added weight will cause
the awning to sag. Upon retracting the
room, material can become caught in
between the top of slide room and the
opening in the motorhome. It will be
necessary to retract the room in small
increments and allow the water time to
run off.
Entry Door Awning (Optional)
To Extend the Awning:
Unlock front arm lock by sliding the lock
up. The lock is located inside main arm
on the side that faces the motorhome.
Hook the pull strap loop with awning
catch rod.


Pull down
on strap until
awning is at full
extension. With
free hand, pull out
brace.
Mate the slot
of brace with
hook on side of
the motorhome.
Repeat procedure for other arm.
Release strap slowly ensuring
braces are secure. Slide the strap to rear
of awning roll tube and tie to rear arm.
To Retract the Awning:
Pull down on pull strap with a firm grip
until tension is off the braces. Fold brace
into main arms.
Carefully allow awning to wind onto
awning roll tube while holding strap in
center position. This will allow material
to roll up evenly.
Awning end caps should be against the
rubber bumpers. If one end cap is off,
pull down on awning pull strap while
holding strap slightly to opposite side,
allowing awning to roll back up into
position.
Lock front arms by sliding lock down.
CAUTION:
When the awning is at full extension,
DO NOT allow the awning to snap back
into the retracted position. Personal
injury or damage to the awning or
motorhome may occur.
