WARNING!
Do not operate awning if adjustments or repairs are necessary.
If you discover any damage, contact the service partner in the respective
country (addresses on the back of the manual).
➤ Frequently examine awning for imbalance, or signs of wear or damage to cables
and other critical parts.
➤ Check the awning regularly:
– Is the fabric undamaged?
– Are the arms and front cover undamaged and free from any signs of wear?
– Does the awning close properly?
Tighten up the screws on the shoulder joint (fig. 0,
8.4
page 5)
The screws on the shoulder joint must be tightened up after being used initially:
• after the first holiday using the awning
• after driving 20000 kilometres or six months after the awning was mounted
(whichever occurs first)
The three screws on the shoulder joint also need to be checked during the routine
vehicle inspection.
Contact your service partner 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.
➤ Lift up the front panel slightly so that the hinge is not bearing any load.
➤ Tighten both central screws with 20 – 22 Nm.
➤ Tighten both lower screws with 16 – 18 Nm.
