24. For awnings with LEDs in the roller tube:
24.1. Connect the canopy harness connector and LED connector. Then carefully push the
connectors into the roller tube.
24.2. Place the split grommet over the canopy harness and press the grommet into the hole of the roller
tube.
24.3. If the canopy has a metal wrap, attach the wire to the inside of the wrap (see page 31) then proceed
with the next step.
24.4. At the vehicle wall, route the new canopy harness through the wall to the switch.
Tip: Tie the new harness to the old harness that was cut previously. Use the old harness to pull the
new harness through the wall to the desired location.
24.5. At the vehicle wall, provide a 3" loop of harness between the canopy and wall. Seal the wall entrance
hole and harness with a quality silicone sealant.
24.6. Connect the new harness to the switch. Two (2) .187, 18-24 awg female disconnects are provided
if connecting to a switch.
24.7.
Alternate method:
At the wall, splice the new harness to the existing harness using 24 awg butt
connectors. Push the connectors into the vehicle wall. Seal the wall entrance hole and wires with a
quality silicone sealant.
NOTE:
Be sure to allow enough harness from the canopy to provide a 3" loop of harness and
adequate length for the connectors to be pushed inside the wall before sealing the hole and harness
with a quality silicone sealant.

For canopies with LEDs at the awning rail:
Connect the LED strip to the harness for white LEDS or to
the controller for RGB applications.

RACTIONERS
The tractioners are used with the alumaguard metal fabric wrap and uniguard with vinyl fabrics.
1. Partially extend the awning until the Alumaguard/Uniguard is extended with the edge on the roll bar as shown.
2. Unlock the keeper and wrap the tractioner around the roller tube.
3. Position the tractioner under the Alumaguard/Uniguard with a 1/4” gap between the metal wrap and
tractioner. Lock the keeper.
4. Repeat for the other end of the roller tube.
5. Extend the awning to verify that the tractioners are lifting the metal wrap up and over the roller assembly.
6. To secure the tractioner, drill a 1/8” hole through the tractioner and roller tube; roughly center the hole
between two slots of the roller tube.
7. Secure with one (1) #10 square drive screw.
