Care & Maintenance
Washing:
On a monthly basis, loosen hardened dirt
and remove dust from the awning with a dry,
medium bristle brush. Thoroughly rinse both
the top and bottom with a hose. Wash both
sides of the awning using a quality vinyl
cleaner solution and a soft brush. (Washing the
awning can be made easier with use of awning
maintenance products.) Saturate the fabric with
the cleaning solution and leave it on for 15 to
20 minutes. If necessary, reapply the solution
to keep the fabric saturated. Rinse the awning
thoroughly. Repeat if necessary until most of
the stains disappear.
NOTE:
Allow awning to thoroughly dry
before retracting the awning. Clean
metal surfaces with soapy water and
thoroughly rinse.
Water Leaks:
If leakage occurs after washing the awning,
it is a result of insufficient rinsing. If water
drips through needle holes in the stitching use
a commercial seam sealer, available in most
canvas and recreational vehicle supply stores.
Paraffin wax may be applied to the top of the
seams. As the awning ages these holes will
normally seal themselves.
It is normal for slight leakage to occur
through the fabric where water is allowed to
accumulate or pocket on the fabric. See “Rain
Release Settings” for information on proper
water drainage.
Sometimes soap or chemical residue, such
as from active agents in insect fog or sprays,
can “wet” the fabric so that it appears unable
to repel water. Rinse the fabric thoroughly and
test to see if it is water repellent after it dries.
INFORMATION:
For further information on care and
maintenance of the awning, consult
awning OEM manual.
LADDER (OpTIONAL)
The rear ladder allows access to the roof
of the recreational vehicle. Use care when
ascending or descending the ladder. Limit
access to the roof to cleaning and sealing
purposes only.
NOTE:
Maximum weight rating is 300 lbs.
ROOF vENTS/FANS

crank knob in the desired direction. The vent is
for ventilation only, it is not designed to cool
the recreational vehicle.
Power
The power roof vent is operated by pushing
the power switch. The vent must be opened
before using the power roof vent. To close the
power roof vent, push in the power switch to
