THULE OUTLAND 320011 (01) PDF MANUAL

Before use, carefully read the User Instructions and Safety information provided.

The awning must always be closed before driving the vehicle. It should also be closed immediately in conditions of strong wind, heavy rain, or snowfall to prevent damage. While it can be used in sun and light rain, caution is advised.

To ensure proper water drainage during rain, adjust the support legs so that one side of the awning is significantly lower than the other (Option 1). This creates a slope allowing water to run off. Do not allow the awning fabric to sag in the middle (Option 2), as pooling water can damage the fabric and mechanism.

1. Press the release buttons located on both end caps (Left and Right sides of the cassette). Allow the end caps to spring open slightly.

2. Lift the main cover of the awning cassette upwards until it is fully open.

1. Gently pull the front profile slightly forward away from the cassette (A).

2. Unfold the Right support arm outwards (B).

3. Unfold the Left support arm outwards (C).

Ensure both arms are opened wide enough, to at least 95 degrees relative to the cassette, for proper operation.

1. Locate the fabric roll release lever inside the opened cassette (near the roller tube) and activate it to allow the fabric to unroll (A).

2. Grasp the front profile bar firmly and pull the fabric outwards, away from the vehicle, allowing it to unroll smoothly from the cassette (B).

1. Release the lock mechanism holding the Right support leg within the front profile (Step 5A).

2. Pivot the Right support leg downwards until it is vertical (Step 5B).

3. Extend the inner telescopic section of the Right leg: Place your foot on the base (Step 5C-1) and pull the inner section upwards (Step 5C-2) until it extends sufficiently.

4. Adjust the height of the Right leg: Unlock the height adjustment lever (Step 5D-1), slide the inner tube (Step 5D-2) to the desired height, and securely lock the lever (Step 5D-3).

5. Repeat the process for the Left support leg: Release the lock (Step 5E), pivot the leg down (Step 5F), extend the inner section (Step 5G), adjust the height, and lock the lever (Step 5H).

Warning: Ensure the leg sections click into place if applicable during extension, and always lock the height adjustment lever securely.

1. Locate the tensioning mechanism (lever or button) on the Left rafter arm and engage it to make the arm taut (Step 6A).

2. Locate the tensioning mechanism on the Right rafter arm and engage it to make the arm taut (Step 6B).

Use the fabric tensioning mechanism located on the roller tube inside the cassette. Operate the associated lever or knob repeatedly (1x, 2x, 3x…) until the awning fabric is taut across its width (Step 7A). Ensure the mechanism is locked (indicated by the lock symbol) once tensioned. You may need to apply tension evenly, possibly by operating mechanisms on both sides if present.

Fine-tune the height of the awning by adjusting the support legs (Step 8A). Use the height adjustment levers (unlock lever (1), slide inner section (2), lock lever (3)) on each leg to level the awning or create a slope for rain drainage. Ensure both levers are securely locked after adjustment.

Begin by releasing the tension on the awning fabric. Use the fabric tensioning mechanism on the roller tube, ensuring it is unlocked (Step 1A). You might need to slightly lift the front bar (1A-1, 1A-2) to help release the tension.

1. Retract the legs: Unlock the height adjustment lever on one leg and carefully guide the inner telescopic section fully down into the outer section (Step 2A). Repeat for the other leg. Warning: Control the leg as it retracts.

2. Fold the legs: Pivot the fully retracted Left support leg upwards and store it within the front profile (Step 2D). Repeat for the Right support leg (Step 2E). Ensure any necessary locks are engaged to keep the legs stored.

Locate the tensioning mechanism on both the Left (Step 2B) and Right (Step 2C) rafter arms and release the tension.

Carefully guide the front profile bar back towards the vehicle’s cassette. Allow the fabric to roll up evenly and smoothly onto the roller tube (Step 3A). Avoid creases or uneven rolling.

Once the fabric is fully rolled up inside the cassette, engage the fabric roll lock/lever to prevent it from unrolling (Step 3B). Warning: Be careful to avoid pinching fingers when engaging the lock mechanism.

1. Ensure the inner sections of the arms retract fully (Step 4A-1, 4A-2).

2. Fold the Left support arm completely inwards until it rests securely in its stored position within the cassette/front profile (Step 4B).

3. Fold the Right support arm completely inwards until it rests securely in its stored position (Step 4C).

Warning: Before attempting to close the cassette cover, double-check that both arms are fully retracted and folded correctly, sitting flush within the front profile (as shown by the checkmark ✓). Incorrectly folded arms (X) will prevent the cover from closing properly and may cause damage.

1. Push the front profile fully back into the main cassette housing (Step 5A).

2. Lower the main cassette cover completely (Step 5B).

3. Press down firmly along the cover, ensuring it clicks securely into place on both the Left (Step 5C) and Right (Step 5D) sides.

4. Push both end caps inwards until they click and lock securely (Step 5E). Visually confirm that the end caps are fully closed and locked (indicated by ✓). Do not leave them partially open or unlocked (indicated by X).

Optional accessories are available to enhance your awning experience. These may include items such as the Thule Hold Down Kit (e.g., 307916) for extra stability in wind, and Thule Sun Blockers or Wind Screens (e.g., 307916) for added protection from the elements. Check with your Thule dealer for compatible accessories.
