Two clips are provided to store the manual crank handle. These may be mounted horizontally or vertically.
The clips are designed so that one side has a smaller diameter to fit the smaller tube of the handle. The
other side has a larger diameter to fit the larger tube of the handle. The clips can be arranged as shown or
the clips can be oriented so both attach to the larger tube (i.e. if the handle is fully collapsed for storage).
1. Snap the clips on to the crank handle.
2. Position the handle in the desired location and mark the locations of the clips.
3. Remove the clips from the crank handle and mount at the marks made previously. Use the #8 x 1 1/4”
screws provided.
NOTE:
The screws will go through the mounting surface approximately 1/2”; if the mounting surface
material is thinner than 1/2” the screws will protrude through the opposite side.

DJUSTMENT
The Freedom OtD provides minor pitch adjustment for aligning the lead rail with the case. This adjustment
is only for fine-tuning the installation. It is not intended as an operational pitch adjustment.
NOTICE
When the pitch of the awning is adjusted, it is important that the lead rail is parallel to
the awning housing.
1. Open the awning to access the adjustment screw located on the arm case knuckle.
2. Have a second person lift up on the lead rail to relieve the
pressure on the adjustment screw.
3. Using a 5mm allen wrench, turn the adjustment screw
clockwise to raise the lead rail; turn the adjustment screw
counterclockwise to lower the lead rail.
4. Repeat for the other side as necessary.
