DAMAGE TO BOTH THE AWNING AND THE 

RV. 

1.  Disconnect, remove and/or store any optional equipment that is used (i.e. rafters, 

hangers etc.)  Follow the storage directions furnished with the particular option(s). 

2.  If the awning has been placed in the carport configuration: 

 

Remove the stakes holding the carport foot. 

 

Set the brake lever to the close position. 

 

Swivel the arm back and lock the carport feet into the bottom mounting 
bracket. 

 

Set the brake lever to the open position. 

 

Repeat for the second arm. 

3.  Return the arm length to the storage length: 

 

Open the arm lever and slide the upper arm channel down to the stop 
bolt. 

 

Close the arm lever.  It may be necessary to move the arm up and down 
slightly for the lock pin to snap into the position hole. 

 

Repeat for the second arm. 

4.  Loosen the black lock knob for the brace. 

5.  Disengage the spring latch for the brace (located on the top of the roll bar 

end plug) and slide the brace down the arm.  It may be necessary to press 
out on the roll bar to ease the tension.  Repeat for the second arm. 

6.  Firmly grasp the pull strap and set the brake lever to “CLOSE”.  

For all 

models:

 The brake lever is accessible by hand when the awning is extended. 

Tip:  The pull strap can slide along the roll bar.  Move the strap toward to the 
right end of the roll bar to easily hold the strap and operate the brake lever. 

 

For Simplicity:

  Push the 

BRAKE LEVER

 up to the 

CLOSE

 position.  This is 

located on the right end of the roll bar. 

 

For Spirit and Fiesta:

  Press the 

BRAKE LEVER

 down until it stops.  This is 

located on the right end of the roll bar, the remote lock is attached to the lever. 

7.  Allow the awning to roll up slowly until it is completely closed. 

8. Secure 

the 

arms: 

 

For Simplicity:

  Snap the 

ARM STRAP

 around both arms. 

 

For Spirit and Fiesta:  

Press the 

ARM TRAVEL LOCK

 down until the latch 

tab clicks.  Repeat for the second arm. 

9.  Tighten the black lock knob on the braces. 

The awning is now ready for travel and storage.
