Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect hardware regularly: Check mounting brackets, bolts, and roof-rack attachments periodically and after off-road trips to ensure everything stays secure.
-
Clean properly: Rinse the awning fabric and frame with cold water and a soft brush; avoid detergents, harsh chemicals, petrol, or diesel that can damage the material.
-
Dry completely before storing: Always allow the awning to dry fully before rolling it up to prevent mildew and fabric damage.
-
Lubricate moving parts occasionally: Lightly lubricate pivot points, hinges, and bushings 2–3 times per year for smooth deployment and retraction.
-
Use support legs and guy ropes when deployed: Always deploy telescoping legs and stake the guy ropes to stabilize the awning and resist wind or uneven ground.
-
Avoid use in strong winds or storms: Retract the awning if winds exceed ~20 mph or during severe weather to prevent damage.
-
Inspect fabric and seams: Periodically check for tears, wear, or UV degradation and address small issues promptly to extend lifespan.
