6 Using the annexe

CAUTION! Risk of injury and material damage

Never open the zipper on the protective sleeve while an air pole is inflated. This will result in the air pole bursting.

6.1 Before first use

Before using the product for the first time, perform a test set-up to familiarize yourself with it. Check if the scope of delivery is complete.

6.2 Choosing a site

Choose a flat site that is protected from wind:

1. If necessary, use a windbreak.
2. Choose a shaded site to reduce UV degradation of the fabric.
3. Do not pitch under trees as falling branches, resin, or other debris can damage the product.
4. Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to protect the groundsheet.
5. Set up the product with the doors facing away from the wind.

6.3 Setting up the annexe

NOTICE! Material damage

Do not open or close the zippers by force.

NOTE

• The supplied pegs are heavy duty pegs. They will be suitable for most sites, but special pegs may be required for certain ground types. Ask your dealer.
• Drive the pegs at a 45^ angle away into the ground.
• Peg the guy lines in line with the seam it starts from.

Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the annexe:

• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• Push the poles into the sleeves from front to rear.
• After standing the annexe upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a rectangular shape.
• Peg the guy lines so that the annexe is under tension without distorting the shape.
• If available, attach the storm tie down kit.
• Regularly check the guy lines to ensure adequate tension. If necessary, use the runners to adjust.

The annexe can be fitted to either side of the awning tent, or both. The side panels can also be reversed.

Set up the annexe as follows:

1. To protect the annexe from dirt and damage, lay down a groundsheet or footprint before unpacking.
2. Unpack the annexe.
3. Separate and identify the different components.
4. Remove the relevant side panel from the awning tent by unpegging and unzipping the panel.
5. Zip the annexe making sure that it is not inside out.
6. Slide the curved roof pole into the sleeve on the outside of the annexe.
7. Attach a leg on each side and insert the other end onto the ring and pin located along the bottom edge of the annexe.
8. Tension the webbing strap.
9. Peg out the awning tent starting with the two corners closest to the awning, then the two far corners, and then the intermediate pegging points.
10. Peg out the guy lines.
11. Ensure that the sides and the roof of the annexe are taut. If necessary, re-peg.
12. Go inside and attach the inner tent using the O rings on the inside of the annexe ensuring that the door is facing to the front.
13. Peg down the four corners of the inner tent groundsheet.

6.4 Dismantling the annexe

NOTICE! Material damage

Do not use force when dismantling the annexe. Otherwise you might damage any material.

1. Reverse the set up procedure.
2. Push the poles out of the sleeves, do not pull.
3. Ensure that all parts are clean before packing in the transportation bag.
4. If the annexe is wet or damp, dry fully as soon as possible.

7 Cleaning and maintenance

NOTICE! Material damage

Do not use sharp or hard objects or cleaning agents for cleaning.
Do not use alcohol based materials, chemicals, soap and detergents for cleaning.
Remove bird droppings and tree resin as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage to the material.

1. If necessary, clean the product with clean water and a soft brush.
2. Apply impregnation against water and UV radiation before each trip.

7.1 Storing the annexe

CAUTION! Health hazard and material damage

A wet or damp annexe will quickly develop mold. Mold can also develop if the annexe is left up for long periods of time with poor ventilation.

Fully set up the annexe for cleaning.
Choose a sunny day for cleaning to ensure the material will dry thoroughly.

1. Clean the annexe.
2. Air fully and ensure the annexe is totally dry before packing away.
3. Store in a well ventilated, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

8 Troubleshooting

NOTE

During first exposure to water there may be some moisture at the seams. Through this moisture the threads will swell and fill the holes that are created in the sewing process.

A fully equipped spare parts kit should include:

• Waterproof
  • Repair tape and repair solution
  • Silicone spray for the zippers
• Spare pegs

All these spare parts can be purchased from any reputable caravan or camping dealer.

Problem Suggested remedy
Water leak	> Check for leaky seams, damaged tapings and moist areas.
	> If you cannot find any leaks, see Condensation on page 6.
	> If you find any leaks, apply seam sealant.
Rip in the fabric	> Use repair tape to seal the fabric.
	> Have repairs carried out by an authorized specialist.

8.1 Condensation

The product suffers from internal condensation if one or more of the following conditions apply:

• High air humidity
• High ground moisture
- A drop in temperature

Severe condensation can run down the inside of the roof and drip off ties, tapes and other internal fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.

Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows.
Ensure that the material is not permanently damp. If necessary, dry it completely to avoid mold growth.
Install a waterproof groundsheet.

9 Disposal

Place the packaging material in the appropriate recycling waste bins, wherever possible. Consult a local recycling center or specialist dealer for details about how to dispose of the product in accordance with the applicable disposal regulations.
