locking screw. Turn the bottom adjustment
screw clockwise to raise the lead rail; turn the
adjustment screw counterclockwise to lower
the lead rail.

If power to the vehicle is not available, the awning can be safely retracted using
the manual override located on the idler (right) end of the case.
NOTE:
This procedure cannot be used to
extend the awning.
1. Remove the plug from the right endcap
and save.
2. Insert 3/8" socket drive extension and
handle into the square drive hole inside
the endcap.
3. Turn the handle counterclockwise until
the awning is retracted.
4. Replace the plug.
NOTICE
After closing the awning with the manual override, the lead rail
may move out from the case 1/4" -1/2". This is normal and the awning is
secure for travel until power is restored or repairs are completed. Do not
attempt to force the lead rail in with the override, serious damage can
occur to the awning.
