OSITION

 

The vertical supports can be placed in the carport (vertical) position to provide an open 
walkway from the sides of the awning. 

NOTE:  

It may be necessary to use the carport position for head and door 

clearance for low mounted awnings. 

1.  Remove the carport foot from 

the wall bracket. 

  Lift the retaining pin and pull 

the foot out of the bracket. 

2.  Rotate the leg to the vertical 

position. 

3.  For improved support, use 

stakes through the carport foot. 

NOTE:

  Stakes are not 

included with awning.

DJUSTMENT

adjusted to raise or lower the lead

best shade. 

To change the pitch: 
1.  Open the vertical support 

latch 

2.  Extend or retract the lower 

channel as desired. 

3.  Close the latch.

ETTING

 

The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and can cause 
severe damage to the awning and/or the vehicle.  I

F WIND OR EXTENDED 

PERIODS OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED

,

 ROLL UP THE AWNING AND SECURE

. 

If the awning is extended during rain, shorten one support to create a steeper 
pitch on one side.  This will provide a slope to allow the water to run off to the 
lower side of the awning.
