Patio Awning
The Eclipse awning operates on 12 Volts
DC. The awning requires 10' of lateral side
clearance.
To Operate Awning:
The interior awning power switch must
be on before interior and exterior awning
switches will operate.
Push and hold the retract/extend switch
to extend the awning. Release the switch
at any time for partial extension.
Push and hold the switch to retract
awning.
If the awning fails to operate:
Ensure ignition is off.
Check power at 15 Amp mini breaker in
front electrical bay on the roadside.
NOTE:
See OEM manual for detailed
operation instructions.
Awning Care & Cleaning
On a monthly basis, loosen hardened dirt
and remove dust from the awning with a dry,
medium bristle brush. Thoroughly rinse both the
top and bottom with a garden hose.
A high-quality acrylic fabric cleaner may be
used to help maintain appearance. Carefully
follow the instructions on cleaning products.
Metal surfaces should be cleaned with soapy
water and thoroughly rinsed. Allow the awning
to thoroughly air dry while extended. Awning
maintenance products can be found at RV
supply stores.
Acrylic Awnings:
Wash both sides of the awning with a mild
soap (i.e., dish soap) and lukewarm water. DO
NOT use detergents. If necessary, reapply the
solution to keep fabric saturated. Rinse the
awning thoroughly. Repeat, if necessary, until
most of the stains disappear. Contact Carefree of
Colorado for removal of stubborn stains.
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,
extended it as soon as possible to allow it to
completely dry.
NOTE:
Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon.
The awning was not designed to
withstand the 500 to 700 pounds of
water that could accumulate on the
canvas.
