Installing the awning
Installing the awning
During installation, observe the following general information
- The mounting plates are bolted to the vehicle in the area of the rear hinge. In addition, they are glued with installation adhesive (e.g. Sikaflex®-221 or a similar product) to ensure the load is evenly spread and an optimal level of protection from moisture is maintained.
- Observe the sealant manufacturer’s instructions.
- Before installation, check the access to the screw joints. Make sure no cables or cabinets are damaged when drilling.
- If you want to use an awning tent with the awning at a later date, ensure that the vent windows and hatches remain accessible with erected tent when choosing the awning size and installation position (fig. 5, page 1).
- Carefully seal the drill holes to prevent moisture from entering the motorhome wall.
- Do not open the awning or leave it unattended, before the awning has been fastened to the mounting rails (fig.8, page 1 to fig.i, page 2).
- As part of the regular maintenance procedure, the screws on the rear hinge must be tightened up by a service partner (fig.7, page 1). Ensure the users of the vehicle are aware of this.
Select the location of the installation.In particular, check that there is enough space in the interior to mount the counter plates at the points where the screws will be.
