If 110V power is not available to the vehicle, the awning can still be safely retracted using the manual
override. The bypass may be accessed from inside the case on the motor housing or from the top of the
case above the motor housing.
To use the inside bottom access:
The awning must be open a
minimum of 8” to afford access to the override.
To use the top bypass access
: Remove the screw and well nut
that is used to secure the end cap.
1. Chuck the 7mm hex key into a 3/8” battery powered drill.
2. Insert the hex key into the manual override on the awning.
For the top access, it will be necessary to locate the hex by
feel; it is not visible with the key inserted in the hole.
3. Operate the drill in the forward (clockwise) direction to close
the awning. Reverse the drill to open the awning.
NOTE:
When using the bottom override, the awning can
only be closed within 6-8”. It will be necessary to use the top
access to close the awning completely.

case if removed.
