Tighten up the screws on the rear hinge

The screws on the rear hinge must be re-tightened after being subjected to a load for
the first time:
• after the first holiday using the awning
• after driving 20,000 km or six months after the awning was installed
(whichever occurs first)
The screws on the rear hinge must be checked during the routine vehicle inspection.
Contact your service partner to re-tighten 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 lead rail slightly so that the hinge is not bearing any load.
➤ Tighten the screws with 15 – 25 Nm.

Patching small holes in the fabric

You can patch any small holes in the fabric or parts where the coating has come off:
➤ Use a cotton cloth to rub around the damaged area with a small amount of liquid
vinyl plaster (ref. no. 9103104018, available from your service partner).
✓ The liquid vinyl plaster dissolves the coating. The coating seals the hole when it
dries.
➤ Wait until the area is dry before you retract the awning again.
