!
WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could result in death
or serious injury.
Fire hazard/Electrocution hazard
• Make sure there are no obstacles (wires, pipes, etc.) on the RV‘s roof
and inside the RV‘s walls.
•Shut off gas supply to the RV.
• Disconnect AC power from the RV, and disconnect the positive
+12 Vg terminal from the supply battery(s) before drilling or cutting
into the RV.
Impact or crush hazard
• The device may become unstable and could detach, bend, or col-
lapse. Make sure mounting surface on the RV is flat, has solid structural
backing where fasteners penetrate the surface, and will safely and
securely support the product.
• Find a solid structure in the RV wall for support of top mounting
brackets.
Impact or pinch hazard
• Rapid casting spin off may occur. Spring tension will attempt to close
the awning quickly and unexpectedly.
Do not remove the nail from the torsion rod (at end cap) until both top
castings are secured to the corresponding main arms, and the awning
safety lock lever is in roll down position.
Straighten, remove, and discard the nail from the left end of the
torsion rod only.
!
CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or
moderate injury.
Health hazard
• Use proper lifting technique and control when lifting the device.
• Maintain a horizontal distance of at least 410 mm between the fully
open awning and any permanent objects.
