From inside the awning you will see that the extensions “cross beam” inflation tube is fitted with
Velcro on the end. This should be attached to the opposing Velcro found on the side of the main
inflation beams. The connection here can be re-adjusted at any time following inflation.
Once all required extensions are in place, repeat the first part of the pegging process as you did on
the main unit, re-inflate the main unit and then inflate each extension beginning with the extension
closest to the main unit.
(Pressures required are the same for both the main unit and the
extensions.)
Once happy with the general fit of the awning, attach the “sliding” pegging clips to the small piping
fitment on all the extension 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)
(*) Using the “mushroom” headed pegs, secure the mud-wall inside the awning, pushing the pegs
through the eyelets within the mud-wall material.
Assemble the curtain rods by fitting the black plastic “rod ends” one to each tube. The rod ends have
2 internal diameters, the first for the thicker of the rods, the second for the thinner. Once pushed
home (they are a tight fit), they will remain in place and there is no need to remove them after use.
Slide the correct size curtain onto one of the thicker rods
(one to each rod for the side panel
windows)
then insert the thinner rod into it and fit the rod ends into the black loops found at the top
corners of each window. “Tie Backs” are provided at the bottom of each window. Please refer to the
curtain configuration sheet within the pack, to establish which curtains go where.
On the front windows, attach the elastic/toggle to the black loops at the bottom corner of each
window. This will ensure that when the curtains are drawn they are held against the front panel of
the awning.
Should there be the possibility of adverse weather conditions, we recommend that you use the
“storm straps” fitted to the front of the awning. These simply click into the fitted buckles and are
then pegged out at an appropriate angle and adjusted at the buckle.
(Do not over-tension these as
they may adversely affect the overall shape of the awning.)
On a new awning we would advise starting the pump again to ensure any movement caused by the
bladder settling, has not dropped the pressure slightly.
(This pumping cycle may not even start or
may last only a few seconds.)
There is an elasticated draw string fitted within the outer edges of the base unit and on one side of
each extension. This draw string should be tensioned from the bottom of the awning on both the
outer edges and where any extensions are fitted and can be locked by means of the toggle lock
attached to the draw string. The tension applied can vary from unit to unit but would recommend
that at least
one metre
of the draw string
is pulled through but not more than
two metres
. This will
ensure the joining zips are fully protected from the weather.
(Do not forget to de-tension these draw
strings before taking the awning down.)
That’s it, enjoy!
