Installing the awning
During installation, observe the following general information:
•
The mounting plates are bolted to the vehicle in the area of the rear hinge. In
addition, they are glued with installation adhesive (e.g. Sikaflex
®
-221 or a similar
product) to ensure the load is evenly spread and an optimal level of protection
from moisture is maintained.
•
Observe the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
•
Before installation, check the access to the screw joints. Make sure no cables or
cabinets are damaged when drilling.
•
If you want to use an awning tent with the awning at a later date, ensure that the
vent windows and hatches remain accessible with erected tent when choosing
the awning size and installation position (fig.

•
As part of the regular maintenance procedure, the screws on the rear hinge must
be tightened up by a service partner (fig.
