Wind Out Awning
Wind Out Awning (if fitted)
Your vehicle may be fitted with a wind out
awning which, when extended, will provide
a shaded area next to your Motorhome.
Operation
Winding Out The Awning
• Locate the winding handle into the socket
on the left hand side of the awning.
• Turn the winding handle clockwise –
the awning will start to open after
approximately two turns.
• Continue winding. When the awning has
extended to approximately 1 metre stop
winding and lower the supporting legs from
the awning and adjust the length of the legs
until they come into contact with the ground.
• Continue unrolling the blind until it is
fully extended.
• Adjust the height / position of the supporting
legs to ensure that the blind fabric is taught
and allowing water to run off in the event
of rain – remove the winding handle.
• We would recommend that the support legs
are pegged into the ground.
Winding In The Awning
• Remove the central support rafter if fitted.
• Insert the winding handle into the socket
and turn anti clockwise – the awning will
start to retract (the legs, if pegged into
the ground, should be released).
• When the awing is retracted to within 1
metre of the vehicle the supporting legs
can be folded back into the awning facia.
• Continue winding anti clockwise until the
awning snaps back fully into the awning
box – continue winding slowly until the
handle stops as this engages the locking
mechanism of the awning.
• Remove the winding handle.
Please note that the awning is designed to
be a sun shade and not as rain protection.
The awning should be closed in the likelihood
of high winds, storm, snow or heavy rain.
