NOTE: This bulletin supersedes TSB 01-004-20 dated April 17, 2020, which should be removed from your files.

Purpose

This document outlines the inspection (and correction) of Thule Regal Awnings to determine if there is too
much gap between the roll tube and end plates, which could cause the fabric to extend over the edge or the
roll tube could shift along the axle plane.

Safety

This document provides general instructions. Many variables can change the circumstances of any
procedure, i.e. the degree of difficulty involved in the service operation and the ability level of the individual
performing the operation. This document cannot begin to plot out procedures for every possibility, but will
provide the general instructions for effectively installing, removing or servicing the system. In the event the
skill level required is too advanced or the procedure too difficult, a certified technician should be consulted
before performing the necessary operation. Failure to correctly install, remove or service the system may
result in voiding the warranty, inflicting injury or even death.

The “WARNING” symbol above is a sign that a procedure has a safety risk involved and may cause
death, serious personal injury, severe product and/or property damage if not performed safely and
within the parameters set forth in this document.

The "CAUTION" symbol above is a sign that a procedure has a safety risk involved and may cause
personal injury, product and/or property damage if not performed safely and within the parameters
set forth in this document.
