6.  Initial Awning Adjustment

 

A.

  Cycle the awning four or five times to check fabric 

alignment and to make sure the hardware is nest-

ing properly. If there is a misalignment, adjust the arm 

by loosening the upper mounting bolts and move 

the bracket accordingly. Cycle the awning again to 

check the alignment. See User's Guide for opening 

and closing instructions.

 

B.

  When  satisfied  with  the  alignment,  secure  fabric 

roller  cover by driving a # 6-20 x .44" Tek screw 

through the  rail and into the fabric rope. See FIG. 

8 for screw location. Repeat at opposite end. Snap 

bottom screw cover in position. See FIG. 7. The 

installation is now complete and ready for use.
