Follow the seam down from the pole
sleeve and locate the ring and pin at
the bottom of the awning. Put the pin
into the open end of the leg. This will
be easier if the leg is in its shortest
position and the webbing strap,
holding the ring and pin, is released to
make it longer. Tighten the webbing
strap until it is within 3 or 4 centimetres
of its tightest position. You can
tension the awning more later.
Repeat with the second red roof pole
and leg. Take care in really windy
weather - if necessary ask for help or
wait until the wind has abated.
Repeat with the other two, outside,
roof poles and legs. If necessary you
can stabilise the awning at this stage
by using the guy lines. Do not over
tighten at this stage.
Zip in the three front panels and the
two side panels. Each panel will have
two sets of zip runners and each
runner should be started from the
bottom of each panel. The two side
panels are larger than the front panels
and the front panels are all the same
size.
Attach the plastic clips that run down
the seams to the each of the legs.

Assemble the straight aluminium roof
stretcher pole. One end has an
adjustable sliding pole that is held with
a clamp. Insert the other end into the
pocket at one end of the awning about
halfway up the roof. It will be easier if
you use your caravan step.
Put the other, adjustable, end into the
same pocket on the other side of the
awning. Stretch the pole and tighten
the clamp. You may have to tighten
this pole again later.
Ensure that the
screw thread protruding from the
clamps is pointing away from the
awning fabric.
Locate the two tie tapes, along the
length of the pole, and tie them to the
stretcher pole.
Repeat this process with the pre-bent
stretcher pole that goes into the front
of the awning. The pockets are in the
front corners of the awning.
