2. Determine mounting bracket location relating
to awning rail and slide out room ange. See
(FIG. 2), (FIG. 3), (FIG. 4) & (FIG. 5).
If Slide out room has extra anges, it may
be necessary to install mounting brackets
directly on ange, but ONLY if it provides
solid structural support.
To help accommodate water and debris runoff, awning fabric should have as
steep a pitch (slope) as feasible without
exceeding the maximum distance shown
between awning rail and mounting bracket. Exceeding the maximum distance will
expose awning fabric to catch wind (causing fabric to billow or tear).

B. Installation Instructions
1. Determine awning rail location relating to mount-
ing bracket & slide out room ange. See (FIG. 2)
& (FIG. 3).
2. Remove any ashing or drip shields that will interfere with the Slide Topper.
The Slide Topper may be assembled and
held in place to check for interference.
3. Install awning rail on a at surface
(with solid structural backing), straight (without
curves), and parallel to RV oor to ensure correct function and appearance.
ALWAYS seal against weather and moisture
where components enter RV’s [walls / roof /
oor]. Otherwise, water leakage could occur.
Apply sealant to back edge of awning rail, and to
the #8-18 X 1″ screws. Then place and tighten
screws through awning rail and into solid structure of RV.
Some models do NOT include rail and
screws. See "B. Optional Components &
Kits" on page (4) to order.
4. Make sure awning rail is parallel
to RV oor, and is NOT warped or curved before
installing awning fabric. If awning rail is NOT
straight, awning fabric may wrinkle or stretch.
Select the desired awning rail end (on RV) into
which the awning fabric will be inserted. Widen
that end of the rail with a at screwdriver, and le
off any sharp edges. See (FIG. 9).
3. Carefully roll slide topper over and remove all
mounting hardware if included with slide topper.
IMPACT OR PINCH HAZARD.
Do NOT remove cotter pin from torsion rod (at
end cap) until awning fabric is attached to awning rail, torsion rod is secured to assembled
hardware (arm, extension rod, mounting bracket), and hardware is secured to slide out room.
Otherwise, rapid casting spin off will occur.
Spring tension will attempt to spin the hardware
and/or fabric roller tube quickly and unexpectedly. Failure to obey this warning could result in
death or serious injury.

7. Unfurl ONE wrap of fabric from the FRTA.
Do NOT unfurl more than 1 revolution of fabric, as this could cause issues with
awning [closing / opening] correctly.
Unfurl awning fabric 1 revolution before inserting
fabric (with awning roller cover, if equipped) into
awning rail.
Unfurling 1 revolution allows enough
space between wall and awning hardware
to guide awning fabric into awning rail.
8. Move Slide Topper and remaining hex extension
rod to RV.
9. With the slide out room completely closed, carefully lift Slide Topper to prepared awning rail end
(above top of slide out).

OPERATION
PINCH HAZARD. Do NOT operate [slide
out room / Slide Topper] with objects or people in its path.
Failure to obey this caution could result in injury.
Do NOT close [slide out room / Slide Top-
per] with leaves, sticks, or other debris on awning fabric.
The Slide Topper will automatically open and close as your
slide out room opens and closes. Follow all instructions
provided with the RV slide out room.
If slide out room is left open during rainy conditions,
some water may collect on Slide Topper. This will
cause water to spill over the sides as Slide Topper
rolls up (slide out room closes).

GENERAL USE AND CARE
A. Precautions
Failure to obey the following notices
could damage product or property:
● Do NOT use insecticides or other sprays near aw-
ning fabric. These could cause stains, and could
adversely affect fabric’s ability to repel water.
● Do NOT expose awning to adverse environmental
conditions, corrosive agents, or other harmful
conditions.
● NEVER close awning (for storage) when wet. The
combination of moisture and dirt could result in
mildew, discoloration, and stains.
If it is necessary to roll up awning (temporarily) while it’s wet, make sure you roll
it out and let it dry (as soon as conditions
allow) before rolling it up again.
● Do NOT allow dirt, leaves, or other debris to ac-
cumulate on awning, which could cause abrasion
and stains. Mildew could grow on dirt and organic
debris causing permanent discoloration, stains,
and odors to awning fabric.
B. Hardware Maintenance
1. Do NOT use strong chemicals or
abrasives to clean parts, as their protective surfaces will be damaged.
Clean awning hardware (as needed) with a mild
surface cleaner.
2. Do NOT use silicone sprays near
labels. Otherwise, the label’s adhesive bond to
product surfaces could weaken.
Apply silicone spray lubricant as needed to keep
the fabric roller tube assembly’s moving parts
operating smoothly.
C. Fabric Maintenance
Vinyl fabric offers the advantage of durability and
water resistance.
Wrinkling is a normal characteristic of vinyl.
Wrinkling may be more noticeable when retracted, and after prolonged periods of stowage (rolled up). Leave awning open during
warm weather to minimize the wrinkling over
a period of time.
1. To clean:
a. Mix 1/4 cup dish soap and 1/4 cup bleach to
5 gallons of fresh water to use as cleaning
solution.
b. Do NOT use abrasive or cor-
rosive cleaners, mildew removers, or hard
bristle brushes on awning fabric.
Liberally drench open awning fabric with
cleaning solution.
c. Close awning, let it soak for 5 minutes, then
open awning again.
d. Remove solution COM-
PLETELY from awning fabric. Bleach will
degrade awning fabric if NOT completely
rinsed off.
Thoroughly hose off top and bottom of fabric
with clean water.
Repeat as necessary to completely remove solution.
e. NEVER close awning (for
storage) when wet. The combination of
moisture and dirt could result in mildew, discoloration, and stains.
Allow awning to dry thoroughly before stowing (rolling up).
2. To repair a pinhole, or if a spot of coating akes
off from top layer of vinyl fabric:
a. Apply a very small dab of VLP (Vinyl Liquid
Patch) on tip of cotton swab.
VLP is available from Dometic Corporation. Reference part number
3314216.000 when ordering.
b. Gently roll cotton swab around pinhole. The
VLP will melt the coating (on fabric) and that
will quickly ll in pinhole and blend with all
colored vinyls.
c. NEVER close (roll up) awning
when vinyl liquid patch is wet. Otherwise,
damage to other parts of awning fabric (melting through layers) will occur.
Allow VLP to dry thoroughly before stowing
(rolling up) awning.
D. When To Get More Help
If malfunctions occur (that cannot be corrected by
