Fleetwood Pace Arrow - Storm Precautions; Fan; Automatic

114
Discovery, Discovery LXE, Pace Arrow, and
Leaks:
It is normal for slight leakage
to occur through the fabric where
water is allowed to accumulate.
If water drips through the needle
holes in the stitching, use a
commercial seam sealer that is
available in canvas and trailer
supply stores. Parafn wax may
also be applied to the top of the
seams. As the awning “weathers”
these holes will normally seal
themselves.
Soap or chemical residue can
“wet” the fabric so that it appears
unable to repel water. Rinse the
fabric thoroughly and test to see if
it is water repellent after it dries.
If leakage continues after washing
and thoroughly rinsing, please
contact Carefree of Colorado.
Storm Precautions
The warranty does not cover
damage caused by acts of nature;
therefore, steps should be taken to
prevent damage from occurring
due to wind, rain or storms. Retract
the awning in inclement weather
conditions or when leaving the
motorhome unattended. Should the
awning need to be retracted while
the fabric is wet, extend as soon as
possible to allow complete drying.
Retract any awning in small
increnments to allow the water to
evacuate and drain.
INFORMATION:
Water weighs 8.33 pounds
per gallon. The awning was
not designed to withstand
the 500 to 700 lbs. of water
that can accumulate on the
canvas.
FAN
Automatic
A wall-mounted rheostat controls
the vent and speed of the fan. The
fan operates from 12 Volt DC
power.
Fan Operation:
 Turn on interior house
power.
 Push the vent cover knob
to the Automatic position.
NOTE:
Push the manual control
knob in for automatic
operation. Pull the control
knob out to manually
operate the vent lid.
 Turn power knob clockwise
to turn the fan on.
 Set switch to Raise.
 The vent lid will open
approximately 2" before
the fan will operate. The
Fan switch also adjusts fan
speed.
NOTE:
To override the automatic
setting, pull the vent cover
knob out to the manual
position and close vent. The
fan blade will stop spinning
when the vent is closed.
Tips:
Use the fan to help
reduce condensation.
Condensation occurs
naturally from uctuations
in interior and exterior
temperatures, humidity
and dew point changes,
steam from cooking
or when boiling large
amounts of water. Shower
use is another source of
condensation.
 If the fan fails to operate,
check for a blown fuse
either in the house
distribution fuse panel or
the 4 Amp fuse on the fan.
 To remove the screen,
loosen the screws holding
the screen in place. Use
non-abrasive soap and
water to clean and reinstall.
 Slightly open windows
on the shaded side of the
motorhome to create the
most airow, especially
on hot, sunny days.
Direct airow by slightly
opening selected windows.
Maximum airow is
achieved between an open
window and the vent.
