off the gap between the railing and the door jamb ( Fig 8 ).
Before returning the patio deck to the stored position, the rails must be lifted up to release
them from the locking slots in the mounting brackets, and then they can be laid down on
the deck.
(Fig 9) shows the complete patio deck with the optional step ladder.
When returning the patio door to the stowed position, be sure all safety pins
used to secure the rails during transit are in place and secure with the safety
clip in place. Failure to do so could result in damage to the rail and patio deck.
Awnings (if so equipped)
Awning Care
Keep your awnings clean and in good condition to prevent costly repairs.
 Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary.
 Keep the awning fabric clean. For detailed cleaning information, refer to the
manufacturer’s owner information.
Your recreation vehicle may include one or more of the following options:
 Power window awning
 Slide out awnings
 Power awning over entrance door
Power switches to operate the awnings are typically found in the control panel above the
entrance door or if your RV has a touchscreen, the awning controls may be located there.
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the RV in transit.
The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and can cause
severe damage to the awning and/or the recreation vehicle. Retract the aw-
ning if:
 If wind or extended periods of rain are expected
 If you leave the RV unattended for a length of time, to avoid unexpected
climate conditions.
