HELPFUL HINTS FOR WINDING DOWN ROOF

Every now and then the canvas may stretch or shrink

and winding action may cause the roof roll back

unevenly. This generally results in one side of the

canvas end being longer that the other. To correct this

take the following steps:

•

When the roof is approx. half rolled in check the

straightness of the roof in relation to the container

lip.

•

If the end nearest the winder is longer than the

other end, push up on the winder handle so that

the roller shaft moves up the slot in the end of the

box. Then hold that position and continue to wind

into the container.

•

If the end nearest the winder is shorter than the

other end, pull down on the winder handle so that

the roller shaft moves down the slot in the end of

the box. Then hold down and continue to wind into

the container.

•

If you over compensate or under compensate it

may be necessary to partially or fully wind out the

roof and repeat the winding process.

•

It is not recommended to try and adjust the roof

evenness by pulling on the canvas whilst rolling in.

•

Where possible use winder in a clockwise

direction. The flexible spring section of the

winder has been designed to wind in a clockwise

direction. Heavy use in an anti-clockwise direction

may cause the spring to slip on the winder and

in some cases wind itself off the handle. If this

occurs the spring section can be refitted to the

winder handle simply by knocking on.

MAINTENANCE

ROOF AND WALLS CANVAS

We recommend you erect and hose your Coolabah

awning roof and annexe walls prior to initial use. The

first time it is wet it may leak through the stitching

holes only. After being seasoned by soaking and

drying several times the stitching will take up the

space in the stitch hole and become completely

waterproof.

See further information on Canvas Care Card.

HINGE

These hinges are designed to bend one way only

and have been positioned to enable the arms to fold

back into the container. Care needs to be taken when

erecting, not to force the hinges. If the arm won't

straighten to enable the sleeve to be engaged, lift

up the end of the arm at the outrigger and this will

automatically straighten the arm with no pressure on

the hinge.

BRAKE HANDLE

Occasionally wind out the brake handle on the roller

(when roof is extended) and place a small amount of

petroleum jelly on the thread end.

NUTS & BOLTS

Check all regularly and tighten if loose.

WINGNUTS

Check and tighten wing nuts on collar clamps before

travelling.

ELASTIC CORD

The only function of this cord is to maintain tension on

and retract the stainless wires at the time the awning

is being folded away for travel. This tension is pre-set

in the factory but within 1-2 months of use, the outer

fabric on the elastic cord relaxes and allows the overall

tension to relax. It may be necessary at this time to

re-tighten this cord to maintain tension. Undo knot at

wire, tighten and re-knot.

If tension is not maintained on wires they may come

off the rollers and jam. The wires can be reset on the

rollers with the aid of a small screw driver.
