NSTALLING AN AWNING RAIL
(
IF REQUIRED
)
1.
Position the awning rail along the roof line (line where roof and wall meet) or a minimum of 6" above
the upper edge of the door or windows the awning is covering. Awning rail must be level and parallel
with the floor line of the vehicle.
2.
After determining mounting position, mark the position with a chalk line.
3.
Seal the back of the rail with silicone sealant or putty tape.
4.
Align the awning rail onto the wall and secure with #10 x 3/4” screws. Use
all the attachment holes in the rail.
5.
Use a screwdriver to spread open the left end of the awning rail on the
installation side.
6.
File any sharp edges or burrs from the end of the rail. This will help protect
the awning fabric from damage during installation.
7.
Spray inside the awning rail track with silicone lubricant.
