Tightening the screws on the hinges

The screws on the hinges must be tightened up after being used for the first time:
• after the first holiday using the awning
• after driving 20000 km or six months after the awning was mounted
(whichever occurs first)
The screws on the hinge also need to be checked during the routine vehicle
inspection.
Contact your service agent to tighten up the screws.

NOTICE!
The awning arms must not bear any load. This is to prevent the fastening
torque of the screws from being distorted.
1. Lift up the front panel slightly so that the hinge does not bear any load.
2. Tighten the screws with 15 – 25 Nm.
