How to roll out the awning
When rolling out the awning it is important to take notice of the following:
- Only roll out the awning just enough to be able to get the support legs in place.
- Place the support legs on the ground before you roll out the entire awning. This will prevent unnecessary unbalanced weight distribution and prevent damage to your awning.
- Unfold the legs and place them on the ground. Then lock the hinges.
- We always recommend using pegs for the support legs.Â
- Now roll out the awning a little more but make sure the legs are supporting all the way out to the desired length.
