If you want to fasten the support legs to the
vehicle, put the terminals into the wall
brackets. The brackets can be fixed only in
reinforced points.
Caution: Swift recommend that the awning
be ground mounted only.
Side mounting brackets are supplied. But
in inclement weather conditions may cause
damage to the motorhome bodywork
Caution: The awning is a sun protection,
please roll up your awning in case of rain,
wind or snow.
Alternatively lower one side of your awning,
so that water can flow away and assemble
the tension rafter as shown in the figure
(not included for all awning lengths).
Make sure that the awning perfectly rolls up:
when it is, the red indicators on the front profile
ends are no longer visible. A damaged fabric
does not allow the awning to perfectly roll up.
Never use the awning with a damaged canopy.
Wash the canopy with Fiamma BRILL.
NOTE: In case of problems refer to the user
manual or contact your dealer.
Suggestions for use and maintenance for
the fabric of your awning
Fiamma fabrics are made with PVC and
Polyester layers and their properties can
change in certain weather conditions.
For example, if you close the awning which
has been opened in the sun for a long time,
wrinkles can appear on the fabric.
In low temperature, the fabric becomes less
pliable and there is a risk of cracks.
Please find here a list of some practical advice
for the best and long lasting use of your awning:
1. Open and close the awning in normal
condition of dampness and temperature
(at night or in the morning) making sure the
fabric has no sharp objects on it and is clean.
2. When closing the awning after a long
period in the sun, wrinkles may appear and
prevent the awning closing completely. In
this case the security of the awning is not
compromised, as the security winch will
prevent accidental opening. If wrinkles appear
re-open the awning and leave in the sun for
some hours and the folds will disappear. Then
of course you need to re-close the awning in
normal conditions (see point 1).
3. Residual damp can cause spots on the
fabric. If the awning has to be closed when
the fabric is damp we suggest you re-open
it as soon as possible to dry.
4. We suggest you avoid using the awning
below freezing 0°C.
5. When closing the awning you should
support the front bar.
6. Most of the dirt seen on the fabric will
be superficial and can be cleaned with
water and a cloth. Stubborn marks can be
removed using a light detergent. Please do
not use aggressive chemical substances
and do not use high pressure cleaning tools.
