INSTALLATION
A. Determine Awning Location
1.
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD.
Make sure mounting surface on RV is flat, has
solid structural backing where fasteners pene-
trate surface, and will safely and securely sup-
port product. Otherwise, product may become
unstable and could [detach / bend / collapse].
Failure to obey this warning could result in death
or serious injury.
Find a solid structure in RV wall (centered over
door) for support of awning rail and back rail (all
mounting points).
2.
Allow for sufficient clearance be
-
tween awning fabric and entry door to accom-
modate awning pitch (slope).
Avoid location that interferes with entry door
swing when awning is completely extended. See
subsection, "A. Door Clearance" on page (4).
3.
Maintain a minimum of 1/2″ clearance at top and
sides of awning case.
Additional clearance is recommended to
allow easier access for servicing.
B. Install Awning Rail And Secure Awning
1.
Install awning rail on a flat surface
(with solid structural backing), straight (without
curves), and parallel to RV floor to ensure cor
-
rect function and appearance.
ALWAYS
use sealant on (clean) parts and sur-
faces where fasteners enter RV’s [walls / roof /
floor]. Otherwise, water leakage could occur.
Apply sealant to the back edge of awning rail,
and to the #6-20 X 1/2″ screws (provided). Then
place and tighten screws through awning rail
and into solid structure of RV.
The awning rail is
NOT
provided with this
awning, but it may be ordered separately
from Dometic Corporation.
#6 X 1″ wood screws (installer supplied)
may be used if strength requirements are
met for the safe installation and operation
of this awning.
