1. Disconnect power to the awning.
2. If the awning is extended:
(Refer to Detail A)
Carefully push the
lead rail toward the case so that the arms collapse. While holding
the lead rail in this position, 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.
3. If the awning is closed: Firmly brace the lead rail in the closed
position. A second person can hold the lead rail steady during the
disassembly process.
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.
