Frequently Asked Questions - PerfectWall PW1000 DOMETIC

How to unfold the PerfectWall PW1000 outdoor awning?

Insert the crank into the housing, turn until about 1.5 m of deployment, then install the right and left poles by fixing them to the ground or the vehicle. Turn the crank to the desired position and give a quarter turn back to tension the fabric.

Can I use the outdoor awning in windy or rainy weather?

No, it is forbidden to open the awning in case of strong wind, heavy rain or heavy snowfall. Fold it immediately if such conditions are expected.

How to correctly fold the outdoor awning?

First remove any dirt from the fabric. Detach the poles, insert the crank and turn until about 1.5 m. Fold the poles completely, then turn the crank to fully close the awning. Check that the front is against the housing.

What to do if the fabric is wet after folding the awning?

Unfold the awning as soon as possible to let it dry. Do not leave it folded when wet, as this can cause mold or discoloration.

How to clean the outdoor awning?

Use lukewarm water with 30 g of detergent and 30 g of bleaching agent per 10 liters of water. Lather, let it act for 5 minutes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and let dry. Never use a pressure washer or abrasive products.

What accessories are available for this awning?

Optional accessories include Dometic Light LK120 LED lighting (ref. 9106504018) and Tie Down Kit (ref. 9103104000).

How to repair a small hole in the fabric?

Apply a little vinyl repair liquid (ref. 9103104018) around the hole using a cotton cloth. The liquid corrodes the coating and closes the hole as it dries. Wait until fully dry before folding.

Is it safe to drive with the awning unfolded?

No, never move the vehicle when the awning is open or partially unfolded. Check before departure that it is fully folded and the crank is removed.

How to lubricate the awning joints?

If needed, use paraffin wax or Teflon or silicone oil. Apply to the joints to ensure smooth movement.

2 Safety instructions

Please observe the safety instructions and stipulations issued by the vehicle manufacturer and service workshops.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage in the following cases:

● Damage to the product resulting from mechanical influences and excess voltage
- Alterations to the product without express permission from the manufacturer
- Use for purposes other than those described in the operating manual

Please note the following warnings:

WARNING!

• Before starting your journey, check that the awning is fully retracted. Never move the vehicle when the awning is open.
• Never drive with the crank inserted. Remove the crank before starting your journey.
• Do not drive the vehicle if the fabric is damaged or torn, even if the awning has been properly retracted. The awning arms are held in place by the fabric. If the fabric rips while driving, the awning will suddenly shoot out. This can lead to serious injury.

Secure the awning so that it cannot extend suddenly and unexpectedly while driving.

• Do not open the awning while driving.
• Do not open the awning in strong winds or snowfall.
• Retract the awning if strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall are imminent.
  ● Make sure that water or snow does not accumulate on the fabric. Otherwise this could damage the awning or the awning arms could collapse and cause severe injury or fatality.

• Do not approach the awning

• if it was left open during heavy winds
  – if pools of water have formed on it

• if snow has accumulated on it
• if any debris is on the awning fabric.

The awning may move unexpectedly, become unstable and bend or break.

• Do not leave the extended awning unattended. Retract the awning before leaving your location.
• Keep a safe distance away from the awning when having barbecues or open fires. The fabric can be damaged by heat or catch fire.
• This device can be used by children aged 8 years or over, as well as by persons with diminished physical, sensory or mental capacities or a lack of experience and knowledge, providing they are supervised, or have been taught how to use the device safely and are aware of the resulting risks.
  ● Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.

NOTICE!

• Park the motorhome or caravan so that no debris (branches, leaves or similar) can get onto the fabric.
• The fabric of the awning should not hang down at the edges but must be taut at all times. If the fabric hangs down, it could rub on the arms and get damaged.
  The fabric should not sag in the middle with long awnings.
• Only retract the awning, when the fabric is free of debris (branches, leaves or similar). Otherwise the awning can be damaged when it is retracted.
• Keep the awning free of dirt to prevent abrasions, stains and mildew.
• Only retract the awning if it is wet for safety reasons. Extend it again as soon as possible. Otherwise, mildew or stains can form or the colour may fade.
• Never bend an awning arm or the cover down to drain water off the awning. This can bend the awning and impair its function.
• Do not hang any objects on the awning, on the front cover or the awning arms.
• Do not use any sprays (e.g. insect repellent, hairspray) near the awning. This will soil the fabric or the water-repellent effect of the fabric will be lost.
• If there is insufficient space above the door after the awning is mounted, the door must remain closed when retracting or extending to avoid the door making contact with the arms or the front panel.
  The required space depends on the design of the door (door width, swing or sliding door) as well as the set awning angle of inclination.

5 Intended use

The awnings PerfectWall PW1000 and PW1500 are suitable for installing on motorhomes or caravans.

The awnings shall only be used when the vehicle is stationary.

6 Technical description

The PerfectWall PW1000 and PW1500 are awnings which can be extended and retracted using a hand crank. The awnings are secured on the side of the vehicle or on the ground with struts.

7 Operating the awning

Observe the safety instructions in chapter "Safety instructions" on page 9.

7.1 Note on the vehicle location

NOTICE!

• Park the vehicle so that no debris (branches, leaves or similar) gets on to the fabric.
• Keep the awning free of dirt to prevent abrasions, stains and mildew.

7.2 Extending the awning

WARNING! Beware of injury

Keep a sufficient distance from objects or other vehicles. Once it is retracted, it should be at least 40 cm away from other objects and vehicles.

▶ Click the hand crank into the holder in the awning (fig. 1, page 3).
▶ Turn the hand crank until the awning is extended by about 1.5 m (fig. 2, page 3).
▶ Slide the right strut into the front cover completely together so that you can move them freely (fig. 3, page 4).
▶ Turn the right strut to the side (fig. 3, page 4).
▶ Fold the right strut down and set it on the ground (fig. 4, page 4).
▶ Adjust the strut to the required height (fig. 5, page 5).
▶ Fold the lever of the strut up to secure the struts (fig. 6, page 5).
▶ Extend the other strut in the same way.
▶ Turn the hand crank until the awning is extended to the required position. Position the strut vertically under the front cover regularly so that the awning stays secured at all times.
▶Turn the hand crank approx. a quarter of the way back to tighten the fabric.

NOTICE! Risk of damage!

The fabric of the awning should not hang down at the edges but must be taut at all times. If the fabric hangs down, it could rub on the arms and get damaged.

The fabric should not sag in the middle with long awnings.

▶Remove the hand crank from the holder on the awning.

Positioning the struts on the ground

WARNING! Beware of injury

● Only position the struts on solid ground.
- Secure the struts from slipping.

▶Position the struts vertically underneath the front panel.
▶ Secure the struts with pegs (fig. 7, page 5).
▶ Position one of the struts slightly deeper so that the front panel hangs at an angle. This allows rain to run off easier (fig. 8, page 6).

Securing the struts on the vehicle

You can secure the awning on your vehicle directly if you have already mounted the latches for the struts.

▶ Slide the cover of the latch up (fig. 9, page 6).
▶ Fit the strut into the latch (fig. 9, page 6).
▶ Slide the cover of the latch down (fig. 9, page 6).
▶ Position one of the struts slightly deeper so that the front panel hangs at an angle. This allows rain to run off easier (fig. 10, page 6).

Mounting the tensioning arm

Awnings with a length of 4 m or more need to have a tensioning arm fitted in the middle of the awning. This prevents the awning from sagging.

▶ Slide in the tensioning rod (fig. 11, page 7).
▶ Fit the top end of the tensioning arm into the attachment on the housing (fig. 11, page 7).
▶Slide the other end of the tensioning arm into the attachment in the front panel (fig. 11, page 7).

7.3 Retracting the awning

NOTICE!

• Only retract the awning, when the fabric is free of debris (branches, leaves or similar). Otherwise, the awning can be damaged when it is retracted.
• Keep the awning free of dirt to prevent abrasions, stains and mildew.
• When retracting the awning, make sure that any branches or other objects are not trapped in it.

▶Remove any debris (branches, leaves or similar) lying on the fabric.
▶Loosen the struts from the fastenings (pegs or latches on the vehicle).
▶Click the top end of the hand crank into the holder in the awning.
▶ Turn the hand crank until the awning is extended by only about 1.5 m. Position the struts vertically under the front panel regularly so that the awning stays secured at all times.
▶Fold the lever of the right strut down to loosen the struts.
▶Slide the struts together completely.
▶Fold the right strut up.
▶Turn the right strut into the front panel.
▶Slide the bottom part of the right strut into the latch of the front panel.
▶ Extend the other strut in the same way.
▶Turn the hand crank until the awning is fully retracted.
▶ Double-check that the awning is fully retracted before starting your journey. The front panel should rest closely alongside the housing.
▶Remove the hand crank from the holder on the awning.

NOTICE! Risk of damage!

If the awning is retracted when wet, extend it again at the next opportunity and let the fabric dry out. If the wet fabric stays rolled up for a long time it becomes mildewed and can fade.

8 Cleaning and maintenance

8.1 Cleaning

NOTICE! Risk of damage!

● Never clean the awning with a high-pressure cleaner.
- Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning, as these can damage the product.

Remove any debris (twigs, leaves or similar) lying on the awning fabric to prevent abrasions, stains and mildew. The awning can also get damaged when it is retracted.

▶Clean the awning fabric regularly to remove any dirt and dust:

• To do this, use water with 30 ml detergent and 30 ml bleach for 10 l of water.
  — Soap down the fabric and leave the liquid to soak in for five minutes.
  – Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  Make sure that the detergent with the bleach is completely washed off. Otherwise it can damage the fabric.
  – Leave the fabric to dry.

NOTE

The manufacturer recommends:

- To clean the cloth, use the Dometic Clean&Care awning cleaner (item no. 9103501116, available from your service partner).

8.2 Lubricating

▶If required, lubricate the joints of the awning with paraffin wax, teflon oil or silicone oil.

8.3 Checking

WARNING!

Do not use the awning if any settings or maintenance work are required.

If you discover any damage, please contact the service partner in the respective country (see addresses on the back of the manual).

▶Check the awning regularly for any imbalance and wear, as well as damage to major parts.
▶Check the awning regularly:
– Is the fabric free of damage?
- Are the arms and front panel free of damage with no signs of wear?
– Does the awning close properly?

8.4 Tightening the screws on the hinges

The screws on the hinges must be tightened up after being used for the first time:

● after the first holiday using the awning
● after driving 20000 km or six months after the awning was mounted (whichever occurs first)

The screws on the hinge also need to be checked during the routine vehicle inspection.

Contact your service partner to tighten up the screws.

Instructions for servicing (fig. 12, page 7)

NOTICE!

The awning arms must not bear any load. This is to prevent the fastening torque of the screws from being distorted.

▶ Lift up the front panel slightly so that the hinge does not bear any load.
▶ Tighten the screws with 15 – 25 Nm.

8.5 Patching small holes in the fabric

You can patch any small holes in the fabric or parts where the coating has come off:

▶Use a cotton cloth to rub around the damaged area with a small amount of liquid vinyl plaster (item no. 9103104018, available from your service partner).
√ The liquid vinyl plaster dissolves the coating. The coating seals the hole when it dries.
▶Wait until the area is dry before you retract the awning again.
