The Carefree One Touch automatic awning requires
only “finger tip” operation. A key lock on the One Touch
switch pad is provided to prevent accidental deployment of
the awning while the motorhome is in motion. The key is
removable in the lock or unlock position. Gas filled struts
keep the awning fabric tight at any extended position.
The 12 Volt DC motor for the One Touch awning uses
approximately 15 Amps while in operation.
To Extend the Awning:
• Verify all persons and objects
are clear from the extend
path of the awning and
related hardware.
• Turn the One Touch key to
the ON position.
• Press and hold the momen-
tary switch to EXTEND.
Motor will automatically
stop at full extension.
• Allow 14 seconds for awning
to reach full extension.
• Extension distance or fabric
tension is adjusted by
toggling between
RETRACT and EXTEND.
• Turn the One Touch key to
the OFF position.
• Install the wind braces (2)
between the upper rafter and
the main arm. Adjust wind
brace so the inner spring is
under tension.
CAUTION: The patio awning requires nine feet of lateral
clearance from the side of the motorhome. This distance will
allow the awning to reach full extension. The One Touch patio
awning was not designed with a carport feature or a rain release
setting. The awning should be retracted if the motorhome is left
unattended or high wind conditions exist. Otherwise, wind
damage to the awning may occur.
NOTE: It is not required to have the awning at full extension.
Awning may be stopped at any time of extension or retraction by
releasing the momentary switch.
Wind Brace.
