Storm Precautions
The warranty does not cover damage caused
by acts of nature; therefore, steps should be
taken to prevent damage from occurring due
to wind, rain or storms. Retract the awning in
inclement weather conditions or when leaving
the motorhome unattended. Should the awning
need to be retracted while the fabric is wet,
extended it as soon as possible to allow it to
completely dry.
INFORMATION
Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon.
The awning was not designed to
withstand the 500 to 700 pounds of
water that could accumulate on the
canvas.
FANS
Automatic
A wall rheostat controls the automatic vent
and power of the fan. The system operates
from 12 Volt DC power.
Fan Operation:
Ensure house batteries are on.
Turn on the battery cutout switch.
Push the vent cover knob to the
Automatic position.
Use the wall switch to raise the vent
cover. The vent cover must be open
approximately 2" before the fan will
run.
Turn power knob clockwise to turn fan
on. The power knob also adjusts fan
speed.
NOTE
Push the knob in for automatic. Pull
the knob out for manual.
NOTE
To override the automatic setting, pull
the vent cover knob out to the manual
position and close vent. The fan blade
will stop spinning when the vent is
closed.
WARNING
DO NOT hold switch after the motor
has stopped. This may cause damage
to the automatic lift system resulting in
a stuck vent.
NOTE
The safety switch built into the fan
will not allow the fan blade motor
to operate unless the vent is open
approximately 2
"
or more.
Tips for Fan Operation:
Operate the fan to reduce condensation
inside the motorhome. Condensation
occurs naturally from fluctuations in
interior and exterior temperatures,
humidity, steam from cooking. Shower
use is another source of condensation.
If the fan fails to operate, check for
a blown fuse either in the house fuse
panel or the 4 Amp fuse on the fan.
To remove the screen, loosen the
screws holding the screen in place. Use
a non-abrasive soap and water to clean
and reinstall.
Slightly open windows on the shaded
side of the motorhome to create the
most airflow, especially on hot, sunny
days. Direct airflow by slightly opening
selected windows. Maximum airflow is
achieved between an open window and
the Fantastic Vent.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave the fan switch in the
active mode while the motorhome is
stored or unattended for extended
periods. High winds, unusual
conditions or obstructions may prevent
the fan cover from fully closing,
resulting in leakage and serious
damage.
BEDROOM cEILINg FAN (OpTIONAL)
A bi-directional 12 Volt DC powered ceiling
fan is located in the bedroom. Place the
switch in the up position to move the blades
counterclockwise and push air down (for
cooling in summer). Place the switch in the
down position to move the blades clockwise
and pull air up (for warming in winter). Turn
the fan off before reversing fan blade direction.
Fan operation is controlled by a switch
next to the bed and has three positions: Off,
High Speed, and Low Speed. The battery
cutout switch must be on for the ceiling fan to
operate.
Periodic maintenance consists of cleaning
the blades with a soft cloth towel or a vacuum
to remove dust build up.
