WARNING
Shock Hazard. Always disconnect battery or power source before
working on or around the electrical system.
This procedure requires two people.
1. Disconnect power to the awning.
2. Disconnect the motor wires at the junction box or control box and pull the cable out.
3. Use the manual override (refer to page 4) to over extend the awning. The arms should be extended
completely, the canopy should be relaxed and the fabric slot of the roller tube should point toward the
fabric slot in the case.
4. Remove the outer end cap.
4.1. For machined aluminum end caps, remove the two screws. There is one on the outside and one on
the inside of the case.
4.2. For molded end caps, snap the bottom out and lift up. No screws are used with the molded end cap.
5. Remove the attaching screws for the end plate then carefully pull the end plate and motor partially out
from the awning case.
NOTICE
When pulling the motor, do not let the roller tube come out more than 1"; otherwise the
idler will disengage from the opposite end plate. If this occurs, reinsert the idler into the endplate
before continuing.
NOTICE
When pulling the motor out of the case, the servicing technician must use care to
not break or damage the sensor and LED cables routed through the end plate.
NOTE:
When pulling the motor, it will be necessary to firmly support the roller tube to keep it from coming out
of the case.
Do not let the roller tube come out more than 1"; otherwise the roller tube idler will disengage from
the opposite end plate. If this occurs, reinsert the idler into the endplate before continuing.
6. Remove the attaching screws and nuts holding the motor to the end plate. Make note of the motor
orientation on the end plate.
7. Slide the end plate along the remaining wires and out of the way then remove the motor with the crown
and drive.
NOTE:
For the HS configuration:
When the crown is removed the canopy edge with the polyrod will be
exposed and extend past the roller tube.
