NOTE
Ensure the user of the vehicle is aware that the screws on the
rear hinge (fig. 3, page 3) 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 rails are bolted to the vehicles in the area of the rear hinge.
In addition, they are glued with installation adhesive (e.g. Sikaflex
®
-252
or a similar product) to ensure the load is evenly spread and an optimal
level of protection from moisture is maintained.
Observe the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
An illustrated instruction manual that covers each type of installation is
enclosed with every vehicle-specific installation kit. As with the installation
instruction manual, this manual must be observed closely and complied
with.
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 inclina-
tion different to the default setting.
If you wish 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. 4, page 3).
Clean the adhesive surfaces on the mounting rail 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.
Seal the bore holes carefully to ensure no moisture can enter.
Do not open the awning or leave it unattended, before the awning has
been fastened to the mounting rail.
As part of the regular maintenance procedure, the screws on the rear
hinge must be tightened up by a service partner. Ensure the users of the
vehicle are aware of this.
➤ Install the awning using the instructions in the operating manual enclosed
with your mounting rail.
