• If there is insufficient space above the door after the awning is
mounted, the door must remain closed when retracting or extending
to avoid the door making contact with the arms or the lead rail.
The required space depends on the design of the door (door width,
swing or sliding door) as well as the set awning angle of inclination
(fig. 4, page 1).
• The cables and cabinets in the interior of the vehicle may not be
damaged by drilling the holes.

NOTE
• Ensure the user of the vehicle is aware that the screws on the rear hinge
(fig. 5, page 1) must be tightened up (see operating manual). The
arms must not bear any load. This must be done by the service partner.
6.3 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.
• Contact your local service partner if you wish to have an angle of inclination
different to the default setting.
• If you want to use an awning tent with the awning at a later date, ensure that the
vent windows and hatches of the erected tent remain accessible when choosing
the awning size and installation position (fig. 6, page 1).
• Clean the adhesive surfaces on the mounting rails and the wall.
• Prepare the adhesive surfaces with the primer.
• After gluing, wait until the adhesive has set. For further details, please refer to the
information provided by the sealant manufacturer.
• Carefully seal the drill holes to prevent moisture from entering the motorhome
wall.
