Installing the Stop Bolt
1. Retract the awning.
2. Observe if the centerline of the roll bar is level with or slightly higher than the centerline of the awning
rail. (Refer to page
Error! Bookmark not defined.
.) The bottom of the roller tube must not be higher
than the awning rail.
3. Adjust the arm length as required. Open the arm handle and
slide the lower channel up or down as required. Close the
handle and slide the lower channel until the locking pin clicks
into the nearest positioning hole.
4. Mark the position stop hole that is directly below the
upper channel.
5. From the inside of the channel, insert a 1/4-20 x 7/16 quadrex
head screw with a star washer through the hole. Slide the
centering spacer over the screw and inside the mounting
hole. Secure with a 1/4-20 cap nut.
Tip: It may be necessary to lift the upper channel to tighten
the cap nut.
6. Repeat for other arm.
Securing the Fabric
1.
Roll the awning in and out several times to make sure that the fabric is square on the rollbar.
2.
Secure the canopy fabric or Alumaguard
using one, #6 x 3/8" hex head screw at both
sides of the awning.
2.1 For vinyl awnings, place screw through
awning rail, polyrod and canopy
approximately 1” in from the end of the
fabric.
2.2 For Uniguard awnings, place screw through awning rail, polyrod and the soft connect material
approximately 1" in from the end of the fabric.
2.3 For Alumaguard awnings, place screw on the outer edge of the Alumaguard.
Installing the Rubber Bumpers
Because of vibration and movement, it may be necessary to "tighten" the awning arms when stored in the
travel position. Two rubber bumpers are provided for this purpose.
1. Open the awning to expose the top of the upper brace.
2. Peel and stick a rubber bumper on the upper brace, opposite the locking
knob as shown.
3. Repeat for second arm.
