Manual-instructions
Congratulations on purchasing your new StarCamp awning. If looked
after, your awning could give many years of trouble free enjoyment.
Please read the instructions before attempting to pitch your awning and
retain for future reference.
We highly recommend that your awning be insured against theft and
storm or accidental damage. Storm and accidental damage is not covered
under the warranty.
Important – Check your equipment
Before going away with your awning, ensure that you are familiar with
the pitching of the awning and that all parts are present. You should
familiarise yourself with the awning including any limitations the awning
may have for your particular use. An awning is a portable structure that,
under most circumstances, will provide comfortable shelter against the
elements. There are however extremes of weather for which allowance
should be made.
Erecting your awning
Make sure enough people are available to erect the awning without
exerting undue stress on the poles.
1. Ensure that the ground is free of stones and other sharp objects. You
may wish to lay a sheet of polythene on the ground to protect your
awning. Unpack and spread the awning on the ground.
2. Thread the beading, on the back of the awning, through the rail on
the caravan to the desired position. This would normally be centrally
over the caravan door.
3. Now start, before placing the frame, to peg out the corners of the
awning first. It is important that you start pegging out the awning at
the caravan side of the awning. Doing so make sure all the doors are
closed. Pull the corners of the awning towards the caravan in order
to close the space between the awning and the caravan and peg
out the side wall in an outside angle. Next peg out the corners at the
front making sure that the awning is pegged out in a square shape
and in straight line. Also peg out the ladder strap in the centre of the
side walls. (The leg with the black flanged foot can be placed at this
position later on)
4. Assemble the frame parts. Feed the horizontal bar through the black
tunnel at the front of the roof and connect the legs to the horizontal
bar.
