Thank you for purchasing your Dometic awning. Please read these instructions carefully before

attempting set up and retain for future reference. If used properly, your awning should give you years of

trouble free use. We recommend that your awning is insured against accidental and storm damage as

this is not covered by the warranty.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:

Fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Under normal

holiday use your awning will give long service but use for extended periods in

strong sunlight will soon cause deterioration. In those cases it would be wise

to use a site as shaded as possible. UV degradation is not covered under the

warranty. The warranty does not cover products on permanent sites, displays

or for commercial purposes.

The awning material has a waterproof PU coating over its entire surface (except All-Season) and

the main seams of your 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.

Seams treated with seam sealant cannot leak. 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. Dometic seam sealant is available from your dealer.

The awning keder beading is sewn to the awning with a special waterproof sewing thread. This

thread swells when wet to fill the needle holes but the thread needs to become wet several times

before it is totally effective. This process is known as ‘weathering’ and it may take several soakings

for the weathering to be fully effective. This area can also be treated with seam sealant.

Slide the awning keder beading, on the rear of the awning roof (see Diagram 1), through the caravan

awning channel until it is in your required position. The awning should be positioned on a horizontal part of

the caravan (see Diagram 2).

Locate the deflation valves at the bottom of each of the AirPoles (3). Ensure that the deflation valves are

closed by turning the tap clockwise 90° (see Diagram 3).

Locate the inflation valve on the awning (4). Unscrew the top cap and attach the pump nozzle (5). Start to

pump (6).

Once the awning has a good amount of air in it, pull the front of the awning outwards so that the AirPoles

can assume their correct shape (7).

Pegging Point A: Peg the corners of the awning (8a). Each corner should be pegged vertically in-line with the

top of the canopy, at an equal distance away from the caravan and in-line with each other.

Pegging point B: Loosen the quick pitch straps and peg them out diagonally from the corners (9b). Tighten

the quick pitch straps once in position(10b).

Clip the storm straps into place (11c) and hook the pegging “O” ring onto the bottom of the strap (12d) and

peg down using the provided steel peg.

Set-Up

Welcome

Your awning is designed for use in light to moderate weather. During very strong winds

or snowfall we recommend that you take your awning down. The awning is designed

for touring use; it is not designed for seasonal pitch or commercial use.

We recommend a trial run before using your awning for the first time. This will allow

you to familiarise yourself with the awning, its set up and any limitations the awning may

have for your particular use.

Attach the AccessoryTrack awning bracket to the AccessoryTrack placement located in the inside corners of

your sunshine awning (13e).

Clip the hooks at the top of the side wall fabric to the long pole (14).

Place the hooked end of the pole into the AccessoryTrack awning bracket (15e) then push the open end of

the pole onto the connection point inside the front corner of the awning (16f).

Use the locking mechanism (17) once in place to stabilise the pole and help keep side walls taut.

Attach the ladder pegging straps to the anchor points located at the bottom of the side walls, then start by

pegging the rear pegging points of the side wall (18g) slightly underneath your caravan.

Continue pegging the remaining pegging points of the side wall.

Keep pumping until the ideal inflation pressure of 9 psi (0.62 BAR) is achieved. If necessary take a rest

before adding more pressure.
