awning rail, attach the arm through the #1 
mounting hole (shown in) using a 5/32” pilot hole 
and a 1/4 x 1-1/2” lag screw. 

8. Position the roller assembly so that it is 

perpendicular to the motorized arm assembly.  
Position the non-motorized arm perpendicular to 
the roller assembly. 

9.  Drill a 5/32” hole through the #2

 

mounting hole 

and attach the non-motorized arm using a 1/4 x 
1 1/2” lag screw. 

10. Check the alignment; the arm assembly must 

be perpendicular to the roller assembly. 

 

 

When the alignment is correct, drill and attach 
the arm through the #1 mounting hole (shown 
in) using a 5/32” drill bit and a 1/4 x 1-1/2” lag

open.
