PEGS
The Travel Pod Xpress awning comes complete with general purpose wire pegs.
These will be suitable for many sites but there will be some instances where different
pegs will be necessary. Your dealer will stock a range of pegs suitable for different
types of ground. For maximum effectiveness, pegs should be driven into the ground at
a 45°angle away from the pegging point. CAUTION: Pegs can be sharp. Do not allow
children to play around the awning and ensure that suitable protective footwear is
worn.
GUY LINES
The Travel Pod Xpress comes with guy lines pre-attached. We recommend that these
guy lines are used at all times (14). Peg the guy lines so that the awning is under ten-
sion without distorting the shape, they should run in line with the seams. The guy lines
can be adjusted using the runners. Guy lines should be secured using suitable pegs -
see above. DO NOT allow children to play around your awning. Guy lines are a trip
hazard.
SEAMS
The main seams of this awning have been factory taped to help prevent leakage. De-
pending 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 pur-
poses.
CONDENSATION
Awnings contain a high proportion of synthetic materials and under certain conditions
will be affected by condensation inside the awning. This should not be confused with
leaking and condensation can be improved by ensuring adequate ventilation. Conden-
sation and its effects are not covered under the warranty.
SAFETY
DO NOT COOK IN THE AWNING OR USE NAKED FLAMES. READ AND UNDER-
STAND THE FIRE PRECAUTIONS LABEL SEWN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE AWN-
ING.
