M380 Owner’s Manual__________________________Interior and Exterior Systems Operation – Awning Operation – 4-8
Rev. “F” 4-8-11
•
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, first, 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.
NOTE: If motor is mounted on LEFT end of the awning, the functions of the limit switches
will be reversed.
4-8.4.6 Lead Rail Adjustments
4-8.4.6.1 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.
1. Open the awning about 2 feet.
2. 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.
3. With a Phillips Head Screwdriver, remove the (2) fabric set screws ( Item #50 of Exploded
View ) which secure the fabric to the Lead Rail.
4. 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.
5. Close the awning to check for proper alignment.
6. Re-open the awning to about 2 feet and re-tighten set screws at each arm connection. Finish
by replacing both fabric set screws.
NOTE: These screws should be located approx. ¾” from the edge of the fabric. If the
adjustment process places either of these 2 screws further than this point, drill new holes
(1/8” dia), and re-install fabric screws.
7. Close the awning completely to check for final fit.
