Saturate the fabric with the solution and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
If necessary, reapply the solution to keep the fabric saturated. Rinse the
awning thoroughly. Repeat, if necessary, until most of the stains
disappear.
• Water Leaks: If leaking occurs after washing it generally results from
insufficient rinsing. If water drips through the needle holes in the
stitching use a commercial seam sealer which is available in canvas and
trailer supply stores. Paraffin wax may also be applied to the top of the
seams. As the awning “weathers” these holes will normally seal
themselves.
It is normal for slight leakage to occur through the fabric where water is
allowed to accumulate or pocket on the fabric. See “Storm Precautions” for
information on the awning settings for proper water drainage. Sometimes soap
or chemical residue, such as from active agents in insect fog or sprays, 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 repeating the washing and thoroughly rinsing, please contact
Carefree Awning concerning further maintenance.
• Storm Precautions: The warranty does not cover damage caused by acts
of God; therefore, steps should be taken to prevent damage from
occurring due to wind, rain or storms. If you are leaving or retiring for
the night, close the awning. This takes only a few seconds and it gives the
best protection for the awning. If unable to close the awning, lower both
ends of it as far as you can. This will create a sufficient slope for water
run-off. One end may be lowered to sufficiently divert the water, if the
awning is being monitored.
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.
