DYNASTY 2006 EQUIPMENT — SECTION 5 • 179
After Extending the Awning:
Once the awning is fully extended no further setup or hardware installation is necessary. The 120 Volt AC power
supply must remain on for the awning to automatically retract in excess wind. The awning is equipped with a
remote mounted anemometer (wind speed sensor) that detects wind speed and automatically retracts (requires
120 Volt AC) the awning when wind speed exceed a preset speed for more than a few seconds. If the wind speed
sensor retracts the awning, leave the awning retracted until wind subsides to prevent possible awning damage.
Retract the awning in inclement weather conditions, or when leaving the motorhome unattended.
Retracting the Awning:
• Clear away any leaves, pine needles or other debris by lightly tapping the awning from underneath using a
broom handle or other instrument that will not harm the fabric.
• Press the switch twice to retract the awning when at full extension. Awning travel can be stopped by
pressing the switch once more. After stopping the awning, the awning will reverse direction when the
switch is pressed once again.
NOTE:
If the fabric was wet when the awning was retracted, extend the awning at the soonest
opportunity to allow the fabric to thoroughly dry.
Emergency Procedure:
If the awning does not operate:
• Check to make sure the 120 Volt AC is on by hooking to shore power, starting the generator or turning on
the inverter.
• Check the circuit breaker in the 120 Volt AC breaker panel located in the bedroom.
• The circuit breaker inside the awning motor may have tripped. Wait 30 minutes to one hour then retry. If
the awning still does not respond, the awning can be manually retracted by using the supplied telescoping
crank handle.
INFORMATION:
Follow the instructions for manual awning retraction in the equipment manufacturer’s
manual.
Wind Sensor Adjustment:
To prevent damage, the awning system utilizes a Wind Sensor that will retract
the awning in case of sustained winds. In order for the Wind Sensor to operate,
the motorhome must be hooked to shore power, the generator running or the
inverter turned on. The Wind Sensor will override any switch command. An
adjustable potentiometer, located in the awning control box, sets the wind speed
necessary to retract the awning. The potentiometer, adjustable between 12 and
31 mph, is preset from the factory at 22 mph. The control box is located in the
forward cabinet of the curbside living room overhead. The access panel must be
removed to adjust the wind speed sensor.
Wind Sensor: Located on the
roof of the motorhome.
