MONSOON POLE - RALLY 200 ONLY
Assemble the aluminium Monsoon Pole. Pass it over
the centre aluminium stretcher bar (19) with the plastic
clip towards the front of the awning. Push the other
end into the pocket near the caravan (20) and clip the
other end onto the front stretcher bar (21). Attach the
Monsoon Pole to the roof of the awning using the two
velcro straps.
MONSOON POLES (OPTIONAL EXTRA)
The Monsoon poles are designed to give extra support
to the roof in extreme weather conditions. They may
also offer extra support where the awning fit to the
caravan is not perfect.
The Monsoon Poles are sold singly. The Rally 260
and 330 will accept two poles and the Rally 390 three
Monsoon Poles. The optional Monsoon Poles are not
suitable for the Rally 200.
Assemble the Monsoon Poles - these are shock
corded and just need slotting together, ensuring that
each pole is fully inserted into the adjoining metal
ferrule.
One end, of the pole, has a rubber stopper. Push this
end of the pole over the centre aluminium stretcher bar
(22) and then push the rubber stopper into the pocket
near the roof ensuring that it is fully inserted (23).
Attach the clip, on the other end of the pole, onto the
stretcher bar at the front of the awning (24) ensuring
that the Monsoon pole is parallel with the exterior roof
poles.

SEAMS
The main seams of this awning have been factory taped to help prevent leakage.
Depending upon your expectations, it may be necessary to treat the remaining seams
with a seam sealant. Seam sealant should also be applied to areas where the taping
is damaged or has peeled away through wear and tear. It can also be applied to areas
where a leak may have developed. Seam sealant is available through your dealer.
SUITABILITY
This awning is designed for use in light to moderate weather. During strong winds or
snowfall we recommend that you take your awning down. The awning is designed for
occasional use; it is not designed for static or commercial use.
UV DEGRADATION
Awning fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Under normal
holiday use your awning will give long service but use for extended periods in strong
sunlight will soon cause deterioration. In those cases it would be wise to use a site as
shaded as possible. UV degradation is not covered under the warranty. The warranty
does not cover awnings used on permanent sites, displays or for commercial
purposes.
CONDENSATION
Under certain conditions awnings will be affected by condensation inside. See page 2
for more information about condensation. Condensation and its effects are not
covered under the warranty and should not be confused with leaking.
SAFETY
DO NOT COOK IN THE AWNING OR USE NAKED FLAMES. READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE FIRE PRECAUTIONS LABEL SEWN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE
AWNING.
STORM TIE DOWN KIT (OPTIONAL EXTRA)
The Rally is supplied with a full set of guy lines that
should be used at all times. For extra security a Storm
Tie Down Kit is available. Attach each tie down to the
awning frame, on each of the corners. At the other
end of the tie down you will find a metal ‘D’ ring.
Attach the hook, connected to the
tension band, to the ‘D’ ring and
then peg the tension band using the
large peg supplied or another
suitable peg (26). Ensure that the
storm strap is pegged under tension
but not so that it distorts the shape
of the awning. The tie downs should
always be used in pairs.
