Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Emergency Operation
If power to the vehicle is not available, the awning can be retracted by jumping the motor
using a 10VDC – 14VDC power source such as a cordless drill battery or car battery.
Locate and separate the quick disconnects located in the motor arm channel. Position the
wires from the motor on the outside of the channel.
1. Attach jumper wires to the motor wires. Connect
the other ends of the jumper leads to the 10VDC–
14VDC source. If the awning moves in the wrong
direction, reverse the leads.
2. Maintain contact throughout the retraction process.
3. Hold the wires from the motor on the outside of the
channel while closing the awning. This provides ac-
cess for opening the awning.
4. When power is restored, use the jumper wires and
extend the awning to access the cable disconnects.
Re-attach the disconnects and secure in the arm
channel.
Additional Awning Operation Information
 When rolled out, the fabric may “bounce” cre-
ating a wave like motion in the canopy fabric.
This can creates the appearance of moving
jerkily.
 Vinyl may have a tendency to “cling” to the when not used for an extended period
of time. Open and close the awning in short bursts 2 or 3 times, the awning will
then open normally.
If the awning does not operate, contact the Carefree Service Center.
