IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE
If you suspect a puncture follow the following procedure:
Inflate the awning and then close all the isolation valves in the awning. Wait for
a while and then check each AirPole for pressure. If there is reduced pressure
in any AirPole check the connecting hoses to make sure that the compression
fittings are done up tightly. If you still suspect a leak it will be necessary to
investigate the individual AirPole. If tightening the hose fittings does not solve
the problem then the AirPole may be punctured.
TO REMOVE AN AIRPOLE
You can remove an AirPole when the awning is inflated or deflated but if it’s
inflated the isolation valves around the pole must be closed.
NEVER OPEN THE ZIP ON THE GREY INNER TUBES WHILST
THE POLES ARE INFLATED
Unzip the sleeve holding the AirPole.
Undo the compression fittings on the punctured pole side of the isolation
valve. There may be one or two per pole.
You should now be able to remove the AirPole
Unzip the protective cover of the AirPole to expose the inflatable tube.
NEVER UNDO THE ZIP IF THE TUBE IS UNDER PRESSURE
Locate the puncture. This is made easier if you blow some air into the tube.
For small holes it may be necessary to submerge the inflatable tube in water.
Once located the tube can be repaired using repair tape. We recommend
the following:
Kampa Awning & Tent Repair Tape
The repair can be enhanced by using a combination of one of the above with
one of these flexible adhesives:

Follow the manufacturers instructions to repair.

Another alternative is to replace the tube. Spares are available from your
dealer or direct from Kampa.
3.
Reassemble the AirPole, zip back into the sleeve and reconnect the
hoses to the isolation valves.

CARE
Awnings are best stored opened out. Air fully and ensure it is totally dry before
packing away. Store in a well ventilated dry place. A wet/damp awning will
develop mildew surprisingly quickly. Dirty awnings can be washed using clean
water and a soft brush. Do not scrub and never use detergents.
The AirPoles do not need any maintenance but should be protected from
damage during storage. Damage due to improper use, wind damage or neglect
is not covered under the warranty. Have any damage repaired at the first
opportunity.
Zips should be treated with care, use two hands to close and open and never
tread on them. Never force a zip. We strongly recommend that you carry a
comprehensive spares kit including silicone waterproof spray, seam sealer and
tape for repairing the AirPoles.
Repairs to the flysheet should be made by a company recommended by Kampa
or your supplying dealer. Repairs and alterations made by an unauthorised
company may invalidate your warranty.
