Water Pooling Hazard:
Whenever heavy rain is expected the awning
must be placed in the storage position. Pool-
ing of water on top of the awning fabric, will
make the awning unstable causing the arms
and roller tube to bend or collapse. Never re-
lease lift handle locks with water pooled on
canopy. This will result in personal injury,
death and damages to the awning and/or rec-
reational vehicle.
