F40 VAN Awning
Check that nothing has been damaged or deformed during transport.
In the event of doubts or questions concerning the installation, use or
limitations of the product, contact the dealer. We recommend that the
installation is carried out by qualified personnel and in compliance with
current local regulations.
Installation instructions
ATTENTION: INSTALLATION ON FIXING KIT
The brackets must always be well-aligned to each other to avoid later
problems.
The installation of the awning can occur only when the brackets are perfectly
aligned to the roof of the vehicle.
ATTENTION. To install the bracket, follow the specific installation
instructions.
Instructions for use
6 – USE OF THE PRODUCT. In order to avoid unnecessary strain on the
awning as well as on the vehicle roof, we suggest to take out the legs at
about 50 cm from the opening.
Grasp the leg near its hinge-joint and pull it toward you. Unhook and lower
the leg.
After unrolling the awning completely, adjust the legs at the chosen height.
To avoid the awning being lifted up by an unexpected gust of wind, it is
necessary to secure the legs to the ground with the provided hooks. For
safety’s sake, we strongly advise you to anchor the awning with the Tie-Down
(Optional).
The foot for leg has been created to prevent its incorrect placing inside the
housing of the lead bar during the closing phase of the awning. With an
incorrect placing of the foot the lead bar will not close completely;
therefore it is advisable to always place it properly into the housing with
the base turned to the lead bar (1).
Safety instructions
Before leaving, make sure the awning is correctly closed.
We remind you that the awning is a sun protection, so please close your awning in case of rain, wind or snow. Otherwise, please take the following precautions: lower one side of your awning, so that water can flow away.
In case of problems please contact your local dealer indicating the data on the nameplate. Consult our website for spare parts drawing.
Read the following instructions and warnings carefully; failure to observe
these installation and usage instructions as well as the Highway Code in the
relevant country may cause severe harm or damage for which the manufacturer
declines all responsibility.
Keep the original packaging to be used in case of return.
In the event of an accident involving the vehicle and/or the product, ensure
that the product has not been damaged. In the event of damage, contact your
local retailer before moving the vehicle.
Fiamma declines every responsibility for any modification of the product that
may cause damage and/or injury to things and people.
Before installation, ensure compatibility with the vehicle on which the
product must be installed. Checking that the wall/rear door is sufficiently
solid and suitable for guaranteeing the resistance of the anchoring points is
always mandatory. If this is not the case, tightness is not guaranteed and it
will be necessary to reinforce it.
Before leaving, make sure the awning is correctly closed. A damaged fabric
does not allow the awning to perfectly roll in. Never use the awning with a
damaged fabric.
Periodically check the fixing condition of the brackets, especially after
having travelled the first kilometres from the installation and always before
and after long trips, making sure that they have not moved and that the fixing
is correct.
Always comply with speed limits and the Highway Code. The speed should always
be suitable to traffic conditions and towed load.
The awnings are produced with a high quality standard, but some
characteristics of the materials (as little imperfections on paint or
linearity of aluminium profiles; minor marks or light strains of plastic
parts), which could be interpreted as defects, come from the materials and
from the specific work processes, and take place even though Fiamma uses
advanced, innovative machinery and production and packaging techniques.
Apart from our strict quality controls, we also have our fabrics continuously
checked by independent laboratories to ensure that they are resistant to tear,
to the pressure of water and to weather agents, and that their colours are
light-fast. To guarantee a perfect quality, the fabrics are waxed or laminated
several times.
During this operation, single coloured pigments may move and thus create small
bright spots in the material, which are only irregularities that are
technically unavoidable, but do not compromise the waterproofing of the fabric.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure that your awning is completely dry and clean before closing it.
The remaining humidity could cause stains. If, however, you have no choice but
closing the awning when it is still wet, make sure to open it for drying
within 12 hours maximum. Most dirt is superficial and can be removed with water
and a clean cloth or soft brush. If the fabric is very dirty, add some neutral
detergent (Marseille soap).
Never use any aggressive chemical and never clean the fabric with a high
pressure machine. We recommend not to use the awning at a temperature below
0°C.
It is recommended not to wash the outer casing of the awning with an
aggressive product (or a rough cloth) that could change the surface finishes or
materials.
If the awning is more than 100 mm out of the vehicle shape, the presence of
the awning must be recorded in the vehicle’s registration documents (DIN 75303
– 2019).
