Arriving on site: Campervan wind out awning
- Your awning comes equipped with a winder handle. Undo the collar, extend the winder, and secure by refastening the collar.
- At the end of the awning is a keyed slot that accepts the end of the winder handle. Insert the winder and hold both white handles.
- Wind in a clockwise direction until the awning is extended. Keep watching the aluminium support arms, which will unfold. The awning is fully extended when these aluminium arms are almost straight, and the awning becomes taught.
- Remove the winder handle.
- A leg then supports the awning at either end. Pull each leg from the channel and lower.
- Undo the retaining thumbscrew at the top of the leg and lower to the floor. Tighten the thumbscrew and repeat for the other leg.
- The bottom part of each leg has a ‘foot’ with peg holes. This allows you to peg each leg securely.
To pack the awning away, follow the steps above in reverse order.
