B. To Close
1. Remove stakes if in the carport position, or from

Lower the lead rail as required if the awning is in
the carport position.
2. Pull the adjustment knob, and retract the support
arms until knob is in top most hole.

C. Other Operation Notes
Important:
We remind you that the awning is to
shelter you from the sun, not from rain, wind or
snow.
1. To resist unexpected gusts of wind, it is always
best to set awning legs into the patio position. If
carport position is to be used, be sure that the aw-
ning feet are properly staked into the ground. For
further protection we recommend the ends of the
awning leadrail be tied with straps (not provided)
and staked to the ground.
2. If heavy wind and/or rain conditions exist, retract
awning and place in storage position!
Important:
Never leave the awning in a position that
causes the fabric to have no slope. Adjust both arms of
the awning 5 to 6 adjustable arm holes below awning
rail (fabric slope approximately 10 degrees).
Water Pooling Hazard:
Whenever rain is expected the awning must
be placed in the storage position. Pooling
of water on top of the awning fabric, will
make the awning unstable causing the arms
and roller tube to bend or collapse. Never
release adjustment knob with water pooled
on canopy. This will result in personal injury,
death and damages to the awning and/or rec-
reational vehicle.
3. If light rains are expected, place the awning in the
water shed position. See FIG. 11

Note:
The awning is designed with a water dump feature
that will lower one side of the awning to allow water to run

lower both arms 5 to 6 holes (fabric slope approximately
10 degrees) below the coach awning rail. See FIG. 11.The
water dump feature will not work if awning slope is zero
degrees or near zero degrees.
