CAUTION
The spring arm is under tension to open. Use extreme care to firmly hold the
spring arms during assembly and disassembly to avoid any sudden or unexpected movement by
the arm. Serious personal injury and /or property damage could occur.
NOTE:
On replacement arms, the connector assemblies are not included and must be ordered separately
if the parts are to be replaced.
The following procedure requires two people.
1. Open the awning to the maximum extension or as
wide as possible. This is to minimize the spring
tension in the arms during this procedure.
2. Disconnect power to the awning.
3. Use a scaffold, ladder or other means to firmly
support the lead rail.
4.
(refer to Detail A)
At the lead rail, remove the e-ring
and rotation pin from the arm and connector
assembly.
NOTE:
For early configurations, the e-ring is located
between the arm clevis and the connector. Newer
arms and replacements use a stepped pin with the e-
ring located at the end of the pin.
5. Firmly grasp the spring arm and allow the arm to
extend to its maximum length outside the lead rail.
Have a second person hold or otherwise support the
unattached end.
6.
(refer to Detail B)
Inside the case, remove the 6-32
x .25 set screw from the case connector and save.
7. Remove the rotation pin and arm from the awning.
8. Remove the bushings from the flanges from the arm.
9.
If replacing the lead rail connector or case connector, go to page 4 then return to step 10.
10. Firmly hold the ends of the new arm assembly and remove the shipping ties. Allow the arm to slowly open to
its maximum extension.
CAUTION
When the arm is closed, it can open with significant force. Use care when
opening the arm.
11. Insert the two bushings into the rear flanges of the new arm assy.
12. Lift the new arm up and position the rear arm flanges over the case connector.
13. Slide the rotation pin through the arm flanges and case connector. Align the groove in the pin with the set
screw hole in the connector bracket.
14. Secure the pin in place with the 6-32 x .25 set screw removed previously.
15. Carefully bend the arm and place the front flanges of the arm over the lead rail connector.
16. Attach the arm using the rotation pin and e-ring removed previously. The e-ring goes into the groove of the pin
and between the top of the connector and upper flange.
17. Restore power and test operation.
