AWNING CARE
Maintaining a Carefree Awning is easy. Just follow these basic steps:
• Always operate the awning according to the instructions.
• Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary.
• Keep the awning fabric and arms clean.
CAUTION
The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable. Severe
damage to the awning and the vehicle may result. I
F WIND OR EXTENDED
PERIODS OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED
, RETRACT THE AWNING.
FABRIC CARE
CAUTION
DO NOT USE OIL BASED CLEANERS OR ANY CAUSTIC, GRANULATED, OR ABRASIVE TYPE
CLEANERS ON YOUR
CAREFREE PRODUCT.
1. One of the best ways to keep the fabric looking good and to delay the need
for deep or vigorous cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with
clear water. This practice will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply
imbedded in the fabric. In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be
needed every two to three years.
2. When it’s time for a thorough cleaning, the fabric can be cleaned while still
on the awning frame. Use a stiff brush and warm water with soap.
3. When cleaning the fabric, it is important to observe the following:
• Always use a natural soap, never detergent.
• Water should be cold to lukewarm, never more than 100°F.
• Air-dry only. Never apply heat to the fabric.
• Always allow the fabric to dry thoroughly before retracting the awning.
POOLING
When water collects on the top of the fabric, this is known as "pooling". This can
occur during inclement weather or if a running air conditioner discharges over the
awning. It is recommended that if water accumulates on the top; retract the awning in
steps (8"-12") to dump the water. This will help prevent the fabric from stretching.
