After the fabric is centered, pull and hold the excess polycord in the bottom of the fabric slot.
Place one (1) #10 x 2 PHSD screw through the fabric slot hole and polycord. The screw must be

maximum torque 16 in-lbs.
NOTE:
There is a small guide on the bearing at the bottom of the hole. The screw goes in the top of
the hole, opposite the guide.
4. After the screw is installed, trim the excess polycord.
5. After tightening the fabric in the slot from one end of the roller tube to the other end, repeat step 5 and 6
to secure the fabric.
6. Roll the fabric onto the roller tube. Note the direction of the wrap as shown in Detail C. The view is of the RH
spindle (the end with the screw retaining pin). Allow approximately 6" of fabric to extend past the roller tube.
7. Lift the roller tube up and slide the fabric polyrod into awning rail. Center the fabric over the room.
8. Roll up any slack material onto the roller tube.
NOTICE
Failure to roll up the slack before installing the roller tube will reduce the spring
tension. Reduced spring tension may cause the fabric to sag and not roll up correctly when the room
is closed.
9. Insert the roller tube spindle into the LH endcap. The flats on the roller tube spindle will align with the
flats in the endcap. Ensure that the spring locking pin is pointing out on the RH side of the roller tube.
10. Slide the RH endcap on the mounting bracket and over the RH spindle of the roller tube.

(Detail A)
Attach the endcaps and roller tube together using the two 10-32 x 1/2 screws removed previously.
12. Secure the RH endcap assembly to the mounting bracket using the two (2) #10 x 1/2 screws removed
previously.
13. Confirm the fabric is centered in the awning rail.
CAUTION
When the pins are removed, the roller tube springs will quickly roll up any slack
material. Use care that hands and fingers are out of the way.
14.
(Detail B)
Remove the spring locking pin from the end of the roller tube assembly.
15. Open and close the room to ensure that the fabric is rolling up straight on the rollbar.
16. Secure the fabric to the awning rail using two #6 x 3/8 screws through the rail and fabric.
