DEFLATION
To pack away the awning:
1. Remove the optional inner tent, if fitted.
2. Close all window blinds
3. Remove the groundsheet, if fitted.
4. Close the doors.
5. Un-peg the guy lines and tie them neatly to avoid future tangling.
6. Un-peg the intermediate pegging points but keep the four corners in place.
7. Open the valves on each pole. The awning will start to deflate. Wait until
most of the air has been expelled.
8. Un-peg the four corners.
9. Fold/roll the awning towards the deflation valves to expel more air and then
roll to fit in the carry bag.
10. Ensure that the awning is totally dry before storing in a cool, dry, dark space: if
possible opened out.
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 dam-
age during storage. Damage due to improper use, wind damage or neglect is
not covered under the warranty. Have any damage repaired at the first oppor-
tunity.
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 awning 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.
