7. Unfurl ONE wrap of fabric from the FRTA.

NOT
unfurl more than 1 revo-
lution of fabric, as this could cause issues with
awning [closing / opening] correctly.
Unfurl awning fabric 1 revolution before inserting
fabric (with awning roller cover, if equipped) into
awning rail.
Unfurling 1 revolution allows enough
space between wall and awning hardware
to guide awning fabric into awning rail.

rod to RV.

fully lift Slide Topper to prepared awning rail end
