Section 4: Vehicle Operation

Do
not
allow dirt, leaves, or other debris to accumulate on the awning, which
could cause abrasion and stains. Mildew could grow on dirt and organic debris,
causing permanent discoloration, stains, and odors to the awning fabric.

Do
not
use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean parts, as their protective sur-
faces will be damaged. Clean awning hardware (as needed) with a mild surface
cleaner.

Apply silicone spray lubricant as needed to the moving parts on the fabric roller
tube assembly.

Lubricate all pins and sliding surfaces of the arm assemblies with silicone spray,
as needed.

Do
not
use abrasive or corrosive cleaners, mildew removers, or hard bristle brush-
es on the awning fabric.
Vinyl awning fabric is durable and water resistant. Wrinkling is a normal characteristic,
which may be more noticeable when the awning is retracted, and after prolonged periods of
stowage (rolled up). Leave the awning open during warm weather to minimize wrinkling. A
slight “travel line” may appear where the door roller (if installed) contacts the fabric. This is
normal and does
not affect the integrity of the fabric.
To clean the fabric:

Open the awning.
 Mix 1/4 cup soap with five gallons of fresh water. Always use a natural soap, not
a detergent. The water should be cold to lukewarm, never more the 100° F.

Liberally drench the fabric with cleaning solution.
 Close the awning and allow the cleaning solution to soak for five minutes.
 Open the awning and thoroughly hose off the top and bottom of the fabric with
clean water. Repeat if necessary.

Remove the solution COMPLETELY from the awning fabric.

Make sure the fabric is dry before closing the awning. Air-dry only. Never apply
heat to the fabric.
Your recreation vehicle may include one or more of the following options:

Power window awnings

Slide out awnings

Power awning over entrance door
Power switches to operate the awnings are typically found in the control panel above the
entrance door or if your RV has a touchscreen, the awning controls may be located there.
Power Awnings (if so equipped)
™
NOTE: Electric awnings requires connection to a 120-volt power source.
Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating your awning
(refer to
Electrical Systems,
Calculating electrical load).
Each power awning will have its own control switch. Pressing and holding the switch will
extend or retract the awning. The awning should automatically stop when the switch is
released.
™
NOTE: Do not overextend the awning. If the awning or awing skirt show
signs of overextending, retract the awning until it is in the appropriate posi-
tion.

Most power awnings give you the ability to adjust the awning pitch (slope).
This will help with water runoff and pooling. When adjusting the awning
scope, be aware of entrance door and window clearances. Coming into con-
tact with a door or window can damage or tear the awning fabric.
