Closing the awning manually in emergencies
If the awning is damaged, the motor is faulty or the power supply is
unavailable, the awning can be closed manually.
To do this, you need the following tools:
Flat screwdriver
10-mm open-ended or ring spanner.
!
WARNING!
Disconnect the awning from the power before you start the
procedure. Otherwise the awning could start working again
unexpectedly. The awning motor could rotate the hexagonal shaft
causing the tool to spin uncontrollably and lead to serious injury or
cause serious damage to your vehicle.
➤ Use a screwdriver to loosen the two lugs (fig. 7 2, page 4) on the left-
hand cap (fig. 7 1, page 4) and remove the cap.
➤ Turn the hexagonal shaft (fig. 8 1, page 4) clockwise with a 10 mm
open-ended or ring spanner, until the awning is fully retracted.

NOTE
Due to its design, the awning is not able to retract as far
manually, as it can in the electric mode. A gap remains between
the front cover and the housing. This does not affect safety.
When the awning has been retracted manually, the outer stop
limit is no longer correct. After repair, the awning's outer limit
needs to be reset, see chapter "Resetting the outer limit" on
page 44.
➤ Put on the left-hand cap.
➤ Contact the service partner in the respective country to get the awning
repaired.
