WM 

The Freedom WM 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.
