Attach the crocodile clips to the 12 volt power source, either on your caravan or car battery,
ensuring correct polarity. Firmly press the button on the pump and the pump should start.
(The
switch is waterproofed and may require firm or repeated pressure until it starts up.)
When using the foot operated pump, connect in the same way
. (5 ltrs. of air is delivered with each
press and the pump is only capable of inflating to a maximum of 0.3Bar.)
During the inflation procedure, you will need to assist the inflation beams by lifting
“GENTLY”
on
the canvas from the centre and each front corner, with the storm strap fitments on the canvas.
IMPORTANT
If using the electric pump you will notice it will stop momentarily and immediately re-
start with a change in the sound of the pump.
This is the change from turbine to piston pumping
mode and it is at this point
you should assist the canvas.
Once fully inflated, check the awning’s position relative to the caravan. Make sure the awning is both
square to the caravan and that the base of the awning, along each side and across the front, are
taut. (
If you chose to do this earlier check the fit and alignment and, if necessary, re-peg.)
Should there be any diagonal creases within the awning roof section, you should adjust the pegging
at the front corners. This should see the diagonal creases disappear.
Once happy with the general fit of the awning, attach the sliding pegging clips to the small piping
fitment on all the panels. Fit the remaining pegging ladders to both the sliding and fitted clips and
peg all round with the large grey plastic pegs.
We strongly recommend that you cross peg at each
doorway
to reduce pressure on the zip and stop the sliders “riding up” and opening.
(Keep the pump
attached for the moment in case it is necessary to partially deflate and re-inflate)
At this point of assembly you may decide to fit an extension(s).
If you are not fitting an extension
then proceed immediately to the section marked (*).
We recommend that the pressure be reduced on the “main” base unit of the awning, sufficient to
ensure the unit can stand unassisted but low enough to allow easy access to the “joining” zippers.
The left hand facing side panel should now be removed to allow a connection between the main unit
and the chosen extension.
IMPORTANT
It is vital that the side panel be separated from the main
unit by unzipping from the top of the awning and disconnecting the zippers at the ground level
end.
(This removed side panel will then be re-fitted to the extension once the extension has been
fitted to the main unit. If using Modul-AiR in a “full awning” configuration with a front closure unit,
this side panel becomes redundant).
Thread the chosen extension into the awning channel from the front of the caravan until it meets
the main base unit. Connect the joining zippers on both the extension and main base unit.
IMPORTANT
This connection must be made at the ground level end
, then slide the zipper’s slider
all the way to the other end of the zipper as far as it will go.
(
It is vital the zipper is fully closed at the
top next to the caravan).
Connect the black clip and buckle arrangement together
(this is found at the top next to the caravan
)
and adjust the buckle to ensure the piping fitment of both the main base unit and the extension are
fully closed together.
Repeat the above for each extension you wish to add. If using only one extension the side panel
should now be re-fitted again making sure the zipper connection is made at ground level. The black
clip and buckle arrangement will also need to be connected.
