IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Don't pack the awning away when it's wet.

  • Don't leave your awning unattended unless you've deployed the guy ropes.

  • While this unit handles the wind better than many awnings, we recommend that you deploy the guy ropes if the wind picks up. When in any doubt about the wind, we suggest that you use your guy ropes.
