CAREFREE OF COLORADO ELECTRIC AWNING
If your specific model is equipped with a Carefree of Colorado 12v electric awning it can be
extended or retracted with the switch located on the wall inside your unit (see picture below).
CAUTION- Extend only until you see the gray flap at the end as damage could occur if you
continue to hold the button. In addition the awning will wrap itself backwards which will make
the button appear to work opposite of the way it’s designed
