An isolation valve may be closed. 1. Check the isolation valve(s).
2. Open the closed isolation valve(s).
The AIR Poles are kinked. The air pressure is too low in the AIR
Poles.
Add air to 0,62 bar / 9 psi.

3. Closealldeationvalves.
4. Check all AIR Poles for holes and

5. Check all AIR hoses for holes and
repair if required.
Observe the section on the AIR hose
“Repair or replace an AIR Pole” on page
13.
Water penetrates into the AIR Awning at
certain points.
The main seams of the AIR Awning
were industrially glued to prevent water
penetration.
Treat the seams with seam sealant.
Seam sealant should also be applied to
areas where the adhesive seal has been
damaged or has become loose due
to wear. It can also be applied to areas
where leaks may have formed.
Water penetrates into the AIR Awning
from multiple points.
In most cases this is condensation. 1. Open and ventilate doors/windows.
2. Layoutawaterproofoorcovering.
The fabric of the AIR Awning is designed
that no water can penetrate.
Water enters the AIR Awning at the be-
ading connection to the motorhome/
caravan.
A special waterproof sewing thread is
used. If this thread gets wet, it swells
and thus seals the pinholes.
It may take some soaking processes
beforethesealbecomeseective(We-
athering).

Pressure loss test
1. InatetheAIRAwningandcloseallisolationvalves(g.k 2, on page 7).
2. Wait a while and then check every AIR Pole for pressure loss.
3. Incaseofreducedpressure,checktheAIRhoses(g.k 1, on page 7).
4. Checkthatthecollars(g.k 4/5, on page 7) are done up tightly on the isolation valves. If there is still pressure loss,
then the AIR Pole has a puncture.
Reseating the isolation valves
The repeated folding, transporting, unfolding and setting up process can pull on the connection and loosen it. This is not a fault
with the AIR Awning but a procedure that may have to be performed from time to time.
1. Check the connections.
2. Inatetheawningtothespeciedpressureof0,62bar/9psi.
3. Closeallisolationvalves(g.k 2, on page 7).

5. IdentifytheaectedAIRPoleortheisolationvalves.
NOTE:
There may be more than one defective isolation valve.
