Operating the awning safely

!
WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could result in death
or serious injury.
Electrocution hazard
• PR2500, only motor version: Disconnect the power supply by
means of the on/off switch before you clean the vehicle in the vicinity
of the awning or the awning itself.
Health hazard
• Do not touch moving parts while operating the awning. There is a dan-
ger of injuries from moving parts.
• Only motor version: Only operate the awning when you can see the
product directly from outside.
• Before starting your journey, check that the awning is fully retracted.
Never move the vehicle when the awning is open.
• Never drive with the crank inserted. Remove the crank before starting
your journey.
• Do not drive the vehicle if the fabric is damaged or torn, even if the
awning has been properly retracted. The awning arms are held in
place by the fabric. If the fabric rips while driving, the awning will
suddenly shoot out. This can lead to serious injury. Secure the awning
so that it cannot extend suddenly and unexpectedly while driving.
• Do not open the awning while driving.
• Do not open the awning in strong winds or snowfall.
• Retract the awning if strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall are
imminent.
• Make sure that water or snow does not accumulate on the fabric.
Otherwise this could damage the awning or the awning arms could
collapse and cause severe injury or fatality.
• Do not approach the awning
– if it was left open during heavy winds
– if pools of water have formed on it
– if snow has accumulated on it
– if any debris is on the awning fabric.
The awning may move unexpectedly, become unstable and bend or
break.
• Do not leave the extended awning unattended. Retract the awning
before leaving your location.
