Rev. “C”
The Adjustment:
The MO (manual override) motor has manual limit switches for both the OUT (extend) and the IN (retract).
The limit switches are adjusted by inserting the black plastic key (supplied) or a 5/32” / 4mm Allen wrench into the
appropriate hole on the underside of the motor.
The motor is usually located at the front of the awning inside the roller tube. The limit switches can be accessed by
opening the awning a few feet, and are located above, at the end of the roller tube in the exposed end of the motor.
These switches will appear as (2) hex shaped holes. You will also see a double arrow with a (+) and (-) sign next to each
switch.
The IN limit is the switch located closest to the vehicle side. The Girard G-2000 provides an exclusive current limiting
device (MS-1) which detects the current increase as the awning box closes, and then shuts off power to the motor. This
device eliminates the need or frequency for future in-bound limit switch adjustments. If this adjustment is still required
however, and the awning box does not close completely, then this switch should be adjusted. To make the awning
close MORE, fi rst turn your main awning wall switch or wind sensor switch to the IN (retract) position. Place the plastic
adjustment tool or Allen wrench into the switch and turn toward the (+) direction. This action will create a tighter fi t as the
awning box closes. Listen carefully to the motor to assure that the current limiting device has shut power off to the motor.
The OUT limit is the switch located in the outer most location. This switch is factory pre-set so that the motor stops
turning at the precise moment that the arms reach full extension. If further adjustment is required however, and to make
the awning extend more and to release more fabric, fi rst, place the main awning wall switch or wind sensor switch to
the OUT (extend) position and extend the awning until the motor stops. Place the plastic adjustment tool or Allen wrench
into the limit switch and turn toward the (+) arrow. The awning will “follow” as you turn. Turn switch until awning reaches
full extension and the arms “click” into their locked position. To make the awning extend LESS, turn switch toward the (-)
arrow, bring the awning in a few inches, then re-extend to see the new stop location.
To adjust IN Limits: Use the INNER most switch (+) closes more (-) closes less
To adjust OUT Limits: Use the OUTER most switch. (+) extends more (-) extends less.
4-8.4.8 Lead Rail Adjustments
Lateral Shifting of Lead Rail
Tools Required:
5mm (3/16”) Allen Wrench
Phillips Screwdriver
Rubber Mallet
1/8” Drill Bit and Drill Motor
The Lead Rail has shifted toward the front or toward the rear of the awning casing, preventing the awning from closing
properly.
Open the awning about 2 feet.
Locate the connection bracket at the forward most portion of the arm at the Lead Rail. (Item #43 of Exploded view).
Using an Allen Wrench, loosen the center set screw on this bracket, by ¾ turn, which un-tightens this bracket from
the Lead Rail. Repeat for all arms. Do NOT loosen the offset leveling screw found on the upper corner of the bracket
assembly.
With a Phillips Head Screwdriver, remove the (2) fabric set screws (Item #50 of Exploded View) which secure the fabric to
the Lead Rail.
Close the awning to about 4 inches and, using a rubber mallet, tap on the end of the Lead Rail, allowing it to shift relative
to the fabric and arm attachments.
