Installing the awning
6.2 Installing the awning
During installation, observe the following general information:
• The mounting rails are bolted to the vehicles 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.
• An illustrated instruction manual that covers each type of installation is enclosed
with every vehicle-specific installation kit. As with the installation instruction
manual, this manual must be observed closely and complied with.
• Before installation, check the access to the screw joints. Make sure no cables or
cabinets are damaged when drilling.
• Contact your local service agent if you wish to have an angle of inclination
different to the default setting.
• If you wish to use an awning tent with the awning at a later date, when choosing
the awning size and installation position ensure that vent windows and hatches
remain accessible with erected tent (fig. 4, page 4).
• Clean the adhesive surfaces on the mounting rail 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.
• Seal the bore holes carefully to ensure no moisture can enter.
• Do not open the awning or leave it unattended, before the awning has been
fastened to the mounting rail.
• As part of the regular maintenance procedure, the screws on the rear hinge must
be tightened up by a service agent. Ensure the users of the vehicle are aware of
this.
➤ Install the awning using the instructions in the operating manual enclosed with
your mounting rail.
