To Retract the Patio Awning:
1. Loosen the strap from the awning leg if stored.
2. Support the weight of the awning with one hand while opening the
extension lock handle and lower the awning until the arms rest on the
lower stop bolt. Loosen the two black locking knobs enough to allow the
support brace to travel freely.
3. If equipped with Canopy Clamps, remove and store the clamps at this time.
4. Release the locking tab on the end cap of the awning leg and slide the inner
support brace down the awning leg to the stop bolt. Repeat for opposite side.
5. While pulling down slightly on the pull strap, slide the brake control down.
6. Keeping downward pressure applied, slide the pull strap to the center of the
awning while holding on to the strap.
7. Place the hook end of pull wand into pull strap loop to assist in retracting
the awning. Make sure pull wand does not slip out of pull strap loop, allow
the awning to roll up to the stored position.
8. Store the pull wand.
9. Verify that the brake control is in the locked or closed position. Snap the
arm storage locks into the down position and tighten black locking knobs.
Rain Release Setting:
Choose the rain release position to prevent water build up
on an extended awning. Position the awning in the rain release
setting by lowering one arm of the awning and leaving the
other arm in the normal position to create enough of a slope for
adequate water run off.
NOTE:
Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon. The awning was not
designed to withstand the 500 to 700 pounds of water that may
accumulate.
Using the Carport Feature (N/A on Carefree One Touch Awnings):
1. Unlock and extend the awning as described under “To Unlock the
Patio Awning” and “To Extend the Patio Awning.”
2. Unlatch the bottom of the rear arm by pushing in on the lock handle
on the arm bracket. Swing the arm away from the motorhome to an
upright position.
3. Drive the stakes through the bottom holes in the arm.
4. Raise the rear arm extension lock handle all the way up or to the
desired height and lower the lock handle to lock the arms in place.
5. Repeat instructions 2 through 4 for the front arm.
NOTE:
Reverse the above steps to move the awning out of the
carport position.
