5.2 Installing the awning
During installation, observe the following general information:
•
The mounting plates are bolted to the vehicle in the area of the rear hinge. In
addition, they are glued with installation adhesive (e.g. Sikaflex
product) to ensure the load is evenly spread and an optimal level of protection
from moisture is maintained.
•
Observe the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
•
Before installation, check the access to the screw joints. Make sure no cables or
cabinets are damaged when drilling.
•
If you want to use an awning tent with the awning at a later date, ensure that the
vent windows and hatches remain accessible with erected tent when choosing
the awning size and installation position (fig. 5, page 1).
•
Carefully seal the drill holes to prevent moisture from entering the motorhome
wall.
•
Do not open the awning or leave it unattended, before the awning has been
fastened to the mounting rails (fig. 8, page 1 to fig. i, page 2).
•
As part of the regular maintenance procedure, the screws on the rear hinge must
be tightened up by a service partner (fig. 7, page 1). Ensure the users of the
vehicle are aware of this.
➤ Select the location of the installation.
In particular, check that there is enough space in the interior to mount the counter
plates at the points where the screws will be.
➤ Mount the awning (fig. 8, page 1 to fig. i, page 2).
5.3 Installing the crank bracket
➤ Mount the mounting bracket for the crank at a suitable location inside the vehicle
(fig. j, page 2 to fig. m, page 2).
5.4 Installing the mounting bracket (optional)
The mounting bracket must be installed if the awning is to be attached to the side of
the vehicle when extended.
➤ Select the location of the installation.
In particular, check that the support legs reach the installation location on the
wall when the awning is extended.
➤ Mount the mounting brackets (fig. n, page 2 to fig. r, page 2).
