Troubleshooting
Problem
Difficulty in
pumping up
the awning
If you suspect
an air leak
If you think your
awning has a
water leak
If your awning has a
water leak at specific
points/areas
Solutions
1.
The inflation valve is not fully screwed into the
AirPole.
2. The AirPole is twisted at the valve. This may also
be indicated by a noise. DO NOT continue to
inflate until the AirPole has been untwisted (see
page 4).
1.
Check that the inflation valve is properly
screwed in and that the black 'O' ring seal is in
place.
2. Check that the top cap on the inflation valve is
done up tightly.
Most suspected leakage is actually
condensation (see condensation section of
this manual). This forms on the inside of the
awning fabric. Try to increase the ventilation by
opening doors and ventilation ports. Do not
cook in your awning. The fabric used to make
this awning has a massive 6000mm hydrostatic
head; it is extremely unlikely that the awning
would leak.
The main seams of this awning have been
factory taped to help prevent leakage.
Depending upon your expectations, it may be
necessary to treat the remaining seams with
a seam sealant. Seam sealant should also be
applied to areas where the taping is damaged
or has peeled away through wear and tear.
It can also be applied to areas where a leak
may have developed. Seam sealant is available
through your retailer.
