7. Thoroughly clean any shavings and debris from the case before 

proceeding to the next step. 

8.  Snap the bracket cover onto the bracket to cover the screw heads.  The 

tab on the back of the cover goes into the slotted hole of the bracket. 

NOTE:  

If it is necessary to remove the cover after installation, slide a 

small pin (e.g. paper clip) in the end under the cover.  Lift the locking tab 
and gently pull out the end of the cover.  Repeat for other side of the 
cover.

CAUTION

  

Do not remove the spring locking pin until instructed after all steps are complete. 

1.  If not previously done, from one end, loosen the end cap screws approximately one inch.  It is not 

necessary to remove the screws completely. 

2.  Lift the roller tube assembly up and slide the canopy poly rod into the awning rail.  Center the fabric 

over the room 

3.  Roll up any slack material onto the roller tube. 

4.  Insert the roller tube into the fixed end cap.  Note the orientation of the spindle tabs at the ends of the 

roller tube; these must point forward (away from coach). 

5.  Align the spindle with the loose cap then push the loose end cap onto the 

roller tube and against the deflector.  Tighten the screws. 

6.  (Detail B)  Inside each end cap, screw in the #10 x 3/8 thread-cutter 

screw and fender washer as shown.  Torque screws 15-25 in-lbs. 

 

CAUTION

   

The roller tube has a pre-wound spring.  When the 

spring lock pin is removed, the roller tube spring will quickly roll up any 
slack material.  Use care that hands and fingers are out of the way. 

7.   (Detail C)  Remove the spring locking pin from the end of the roller tube 

assembly.  This is located on the right end of the roller tube. 

8.  Open and close the room to confirm that the fabric is rolling up straight on the roller tube.  If necessary, 

adjust the position of the canopy in the awning rail until the fabric rolls up correctly. 

9.  Secure the fabric to the awning rail using two #6 x 3/8 screws through the rail and fabric.
