This procedure requires two people. 
1.  Open the awning 18"-24". 
2.  Disconnect power to the awning. 
3.  Carefully push the lead rail toward the case so that the arms collapse and 

the fabric is slack. 

4.  Hold the lead rail in this position and firmly tie the elbows of the spring arms 

together.  Use a minimum 1/2" rope - do not use bungee cords.  When tying 
the rope, use a non-slip knot such as a square knot or equivalent. 

  

CAUTION

   

Failure to secure the lead rail as described 

will allow the spring arms to unexpectedly extend out possibly causing personal injury and 
damage to the awning.
