EQUIPMENT
The Carefree One Touch automatic awning requires
only “finger tip” operation. A key lock on the One
Touch switch pad is provided to prevent accidental
deployment of the awning while the motorhome is in
motion. The key is removable in the lock or unlock
position. Gas filled struts keep the awning fabric tight
at any extended position. The 12 Volt DC motor for
the One Touch awning uses approximately 15 Amps
while in operation.
To Extend the Awning:
• Verify all persons and objects are
clear from the extend path of the
awning and related hardware.
• Turn the One Touch key to the ON
position.
• Press and hold the momentary switch
to EXTEND . Motor will
automatically stop at full extension.
• Allow 14 seconds for awning to reach
full extension.
• Extension distance or fabric tension is
adjusted by toggling between
RETRACT and EXTEND .
• Turn the One Touch key to the OFF
position.
• Install the wind braces (2) between
the upper rafter and the main arm.
Adjust wind brace so the inner spring
is under tension.
CAUTION: The patio awning requires nine feet of lateral clearance
from the side of the motorhome. This distance will allow the
awning to reach full extension. The One Touch patio awning was
not designed with a carport feature or a rain release setting. The
awning should be retracted if the motorhome is left unattended or
high wind conditions exist. Otherwise, wind damage to the
awning may occur.
NOTE: It is not required to have the awning at full extension.
Awning may be stopped at any time of extension or retraction by
releasing the momentary switch.
Wind Brace.
