WINDOUT AWNING
29 TOGETHER WE’RE GOING PLACES
Your vehicle may be fitted with a wind out awning which, when extended, will
provide a shaded area next to your motorhome.
Winding out the awning
• Place the winding handle into the socket on the left-hand side of the awning.
• Turn the winding handle clockwise – the awning will start to open after
approximately two turns.
• Continue winding. When the awning has extended to approximately 1m, stop
winding, lower the supporting legs from the awning and adjust the length of
the legs until they come into contact with the ground.
• Continue unrolling the blind until it is fully extended, moving the support legs
as necessary.
• Adjust the height/position of the supporting legs to ensure that the blind fabric
is taut, and allowing water to run o in the event of rain.
• Remove the winding handle.
• We would recommend that the support legs are pegged into the ground.
• On vehicles fitted with either the 4m or 4.5m awnings, a central support
rafter can be inserted between the awning case (fitted to the vehicle) and the
awning facia (the section that winds out), to add extra stability.
Winding in the awning
• Remove the central support rafter if fitted.
• Insert the winding handle into the socket and turn anti-clockwise – the awning
will start to retract (the legs, if pegged into the ground, should be released).
• When the awing is retracted to within 1m of the vehicle, the supporting legs
can be folded back into the awning facia.
• Continue winding anti-clockwise until the awning snaps back fully into the
awning box.
• Continue winding slowly until the handle stops, as this engages the locking
mechanism of the awning.
• Remove the winding handle.
Please note: The awning is designed to be a sunshade and not as rain protection.
The awning should be closed in the likelihood of high winds, storm, snow, or heavy
rain.
Awning space LPG appliance exhaust
No danger is caused if the LPG exhaust from the refrigerator vents into an
enclosed awning. If totally enclosed, space heaters may produce enough exhaust
fumes to pollute an enclosed awning to levels of discomfort. In extreme cases,
carbon monoxide could build up to reach dangerous levels. You are advised to allow
some additional ventilation when such appliances are in use.
