Using the awning tent
!
CAUTION! Risk of injury and material damage
Never open the zipper on the protective sleeve while an air
pole is inflated. This will result in the air pole bursting.
Before first use
Familiarize yourself with the product by carrying out a test set up before
the product is used for the first time. Check if the scope of delivery is
complete.
Choosing a site
Choose a flat site that is protected from wind:
1. If necessary, use a windbreak.
2. Choose a shaded site to avoid UV degradation of the fabric.
3. Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches, resin, etc. can damage
the product.
4. Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to avoid damaging the
groundsheet.
5. Set up the product with the doors facing away from the wind.

NOTICE! Damage hazard
If a wind-out awning is used to attach the awning tent,
support the wind-out awning while working to avoid putting
too much stress on it. After attaching the awning tent,
rewind the wind-out awning fully back into its housing.

NOTICE! Material damage
Do not open or close the zippers by force.
I
NOTE
• The awning tent comes with general purpose pegs.
These will be suitable for many sites but for some types
of ground special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.
• Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the awning tent
into the ground.
• Peg each guy line in-line with the seam it starts from.
Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the awning tent:
• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up
will vary slightly based on the model of awning tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• Push the poles into the sleeves from front to rear.
• After standing the awning tent upright, check the corner pegs and re-
peg if necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in
a rectangular shape.
• Peg the guy lines so that the awning tent is under tension without dis-
torting the shape.
• If available, attach the storm straps.
• Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if
necessary use the runners to adjust.
