Positioning the Canopy:

11. Alumaguard applications:

11.1. The Alumaguard should be centered between the arms.

11.2. Center the fabric in the Alumaguard. Once positioned, use a pair of side cutters or similar tool and

crimp the aluminum over the polyrod. Use care to not bend or distort the aluminum slats.

12.

FLXguard and Weatherguard:

Center the fabric in the awning rail between the arms.

13.

Vinyl Canopies

: Vinyl canopies are flared (tapered) on both sides. Center the fabric on the roller tube.

Install the fabric retaining screws outside the fabric through the polyrod and into the roller tube.

14. Acrylic Canopies:

14.1.

Square cut canopies used without LEDs

: Center the fabric on the roller tube. Install the fabric

retaining screws outside the fabric through the polyrod and into the roller tube.

14.2.

Canopies used with LEDs

: Acrylic canopies used with LEDs are flared on the right side only. The

canopy is

NOT

centered in the roller tube.

14.2.1. The LH edge of the canopy should be parallel to the centerline of the LH arm leaving a larger

space between the roller tube end cap and fabric on the RH side (approximately 1.5").

14.2.2. Install the fabric retaining screws outside the fabric through the polyrod and into the roller

tube.

15. Remove the cotter pin and tape from the roller lock then release the brace(s).

16. Slowly roll up the awning and observe that the braces and arms nestle together correctly. If necessary,

loosen the screws holding the upper mounting bracket then use the slots in the bracket to adjust the
brace position so that the brace and arm nestle together properly.

17. Tighten the upper mounting bracket screws.
