NOTE:
If ratchet lever is difficult to operate, use pull strap to rotate
roller slightly as if to slacken fabric further. This reduces
tension on mechanism and lever.
WARNING: To avoid damage to awning or R.V. DO
NOT release ratchet lever without holding pull strap.
The awning is under tension and will snap back against
the vehicle.
Step 4.
Slide pull strap more towards the centre of awning. Use pull
strap to control speed of awning when rolling back towards
R.V.
NOTE: To avoid creating a bulge in awning fabric allow strap
to roll up diagonally side by side across roller and fabric.
Step 5.
a) Lock both support arms in travel position. To lock
squeeze rafter and top support arm together rotate
travel locks behind rafters.
b) Tighten black knobs (See Figure 12), (Opposite of Step 1
& 2 of Rollout Procedure).
c) Ensure roller does not move when pull strap is given a
slight tug. This confirms the ratchet mechanism is
working correctly.

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. To avoid excessive force being exerted on ratchet
mechanism do not remove support arm from bottom
bracket until ratchet lever has been placed in down (roll
out) position. Refer to label on support arm. Return
ratchet lever to travel position when arm is replaced.
2. If the ratchet mechanism is subjected to excessive force
the ratchet lever may become over tensioned and
difficult to operate. To relieve the tension:
a) In roll up position: release right support arm from
bottom bracket. Swing arm away from R.V. slightly
until ratchet lever can be moved to open (roll out)
position. Return support arm to bottom bracket.
b) In rolled out position: rotate roller slightly, as if to
slacken fabric. Reverse ratchet lever. When
releasing lever maintain your grip on pull strap, to
prevent awning from snapping back against R.V.
3. CLOSE awning in strong winds or rain.
4. In light rain conditions, lower one arm 300mm-600mm
to allow water to drain from fabric and avoid water
pooling.
5. Damage to awning fabric, hardware and locking
mechanism cause by wind or water pooling is NOT
covered by warranty. NEVER leave awning rolled out
when unattended.
6. Damage to awning fabric caused by extreme
temperatures is not covered by warranty. (Never use
awning in snow or freezing temperatures as fabric may
crack or otherwise be adversely affected.)
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE:
i) Lubricate control handles, lock buttons, locking
knobs, support arms and rafter sliders with silicone
or similar lubricant to ensure easy operation.
ii) Check correct setting of adjustable stop bolts.
iii) Ensure all rivets and screws in brackets are tight.
