Installing the awning
6.3 Installing the awning
During installation, observe the following general information:
• The awning can be attached in two ways:
– to the side of the vehicle using mounting plates
– to the existing piping rail on the side of the vehicle
• The mounting plates are bolted to the vehicle in the area of the rear hinge. In
addition, they are glued with installation adhesive (e.g. Sikaflex
product) to ensure the load is evenly spread and an optimal level of protection
from moisture is maintained.
• Observe the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
• 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 inclination
different to the default setting.
• If you want 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. 6, page 1).
• Clean the adhesive surfaces on the mounting rails 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.
• Carefully seal the drill holes to prevent moisture from entering the motorhome
wall.
• Do not open the awning or leave it unattended, before the awning has been
fastened to the mounting rails.
• 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.
