6.
Tighten the black adjustment knob and flip the travel lock latch down. Repeat on other side. The awning is
now ready for travel.
CAUTION
The awning roller tube is under great tension from internal springs, and will begin to roll up as soon as the locking lever
is moved to the "ROLL UP" position. Great caution should be used to insure it does NOT fully retract in a swift,
uncontrolled manner. Damage to the RV, awning, and personal injury are possible.
Window Awning (Optional)
Also optional on this unit are the matching window awnings. To operate, follow these instructions.
Extending
1.
Grasp the loop on the pull strap and pull down to extend the awning. Then hook the loop onto the window
strap hanger.
Retracting
1.
Remove loop on the pull strap from the window strap hanger.
CAUTION
Do not release the strap as the window awning is under tension and may snap back against the vehicle.
2.
Slowly allow the awning to roll back to the closed position by feeding the pull strap upwards and diagonally.
This prevents the strap from building up and creating a bulge in the fabric.
3.
The window awning is now ready for travel with no further locking required.
Power Awnings
If your unit is equipped with power operated awnings, the switches to operate them are typically located in the
cabinet above the entry door, or on the wall adjacent to the entry door. Rocking the switch to “Extend” will
deploy the awning; “Retract” returns the awning to its stored position.
CAUTION
It is important to examine the travel path of the awning to insure it can fully extend or retract without interference with
trees, posts, etc.
