Using the awning
!
CAUTION! Risk of injury and material damage
Never open the zipper on the protective sleeve while an air
pole is inflated. This will result in the air pole bursting.
Before first use
Familiarize yourself with the product by carrying out a test set up before
the product is used for the first time. Check if the scope of delivery is
complete.
Choosing a site
Choose a flat site that is protected from wind:
1. If necessary, use a windbreak.
2. Choose a shaded site to avoid UV degradation of the fabric.
3. Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches, resin, etc. can damage
the product.
4. Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to avoid damaging the
groundsheet.
5. Set up the product with the doors facing away from the wind.

NOTE
•
The awning comes with heavy duty pegs. These will be
suitable for many sites but for some types of ground
special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.
•
Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the awning into
the ground.
•
Peg the guy lines in line with the seam it starts from.
Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the awning:
•
The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up
will vary slightly based on the model of awning.
•
Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
•
After standing the awning upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg
if necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a
rectangular shape.
•
Peg the guy lines so that the awning is under tension without distorting
the shape.
•
If available, attach the storm straps.
•
Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if
necessary use the runners to adjust.
Set up the awning as follows:
1. To protect the awning from dirt and damage, lay down a ground-
sheet or footprint before unpacking.
2. Unpack the awning.
3. Separate and identify the different components.
4. Proceed as shown to set up the awning (fig. 3, page 5 to fig. l,
