Installation Instructions
Installation of Dometic Awnings will briefly re
-
quire three people. Use the following procedure
to assure a properly installed and properly func-
tioning awning.
A. Secure FRTA to Hardware
1. Carefully lay the fabric roller tube assembly on
a clean, well padded “V” trough to prevent fabric
and/or roller cover damage. Remove the hard-
ware from the packaging and place the arm pre-
wired for the motor on the right side. The left arm
is not pre-wired for the motor.
Personal Injury Hazard. Rapid casting spin
off will occur if not controlled. Do not re-
move cotter pin in end cap until top casting
is secured to hardware. Failure to heed this
warning could cause severe personal injury.
Personal Injury Hazard. Hardware arms are
spring loaded. Rapid arm extension will oc-
cur if tie is removed before top casting is se-
cured to hardware. Failure to heed this warn-
ing could cause severe personal injury.
2. Secure each front channel to top casting of the
FRTA. See FIG. 2. Slide top nylon ties down arm
approximately 24 inches to allow hardware to
open far enough to insert top casting into front
channel. Do not remove nylon ties at this time.
The gas shocks on arm assemblies are pressur-
ized and will spring open if not controlled.
3. Using one (1) 1/4”-20 x 3/4” hex head bolt and
one (1) 0.25 split lock washer secure both top
castings to the right and left front channels. See
FIG. 2.
4. Remove cotter pin from LH end cap.
