supply and wind has unrestricted access to wind sensor cup on roof of
motorhome. Push the bottom button to extend the awning and the top button
to retract it. The awning can be stopped at any point by pushing the center
button marked
STOP .
The wind sensor dominates and will override any push button commands
in the event of excessive winds. If the wind sensor is activated the awning will
close completely. The awning will not re-open automatically. It must be opened
by using the extend button once again. This feature is intended to prevent the
awning from extending or retracting excessively, further preventing possible
overheating of the motor.
Care and Cleaning of Acrylic Fabric:
The acrylic fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt,
leaves, etc., are allowed to accumulate on, and become embedded in, the fabric.
The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the awning. Simply
brush off any loose dirt, leaves, etc. Hose down and clean with a cloth and mild
soap.
Do not use detergents. Allow to air dry, preferably on a warm sunny day.
Should you have to retract the awning when the fabric is wet, it should be
extended at the first opportunity to finish air drying.
• Avoid leaving the awning partially extended during rainy conditions. The
awning is at the strongest setting when the awning is fully extended.
• If the wind sensor retracts the awning, it is recommend leaving it in until
the winds subsides.
The motorhome is equipped with a slide-out awning that will automatically
roll out with the slide room when it is extended. When the slide room is extend-
ed, the awning can then be fully extended providing shade to the windows.
To Extend the Awning:
The slide-out awning arms are equipped with locks.
• Open the locks with the awning wand.
• Use the wand to pull down on the strap. Grasp the strap firmly
hooking the loop on the end of the strap to the catch.
To Retract the Awning:
• With a strong grasp unhook the awning strap and insert the
awning wand into the loop of the strap.
• Carefully allow the spring tension to wind the awning fabric onto
the awning roll tube. Do not allow the awning to snap back into
place. Damage to the awning or the motorhome may result.
• Secure the awning arm locks with the awning wand.
