Please note the illustrations below as they represent normal characteristics of
woven acrylic fabric in outdoor applications. Dimpling and waviness are the
result of tension at points of different thickness in fabric layers. This usually
occurs near the seams, but can be present in the middle of the fabric panels.
Changes in temperature and moisture levels can affect the extent and visibility
of these characteristics. These characteristics will not affect the
performance of the fabric.
1. Remove bottom screw from each of the front bar end caps (Screw B).
Return end cap to original position and tighten screws.
Remove the fabric valance, leaving the PVC in the cover and roll in a coil.
2.
3.
4.
Pivot the end cap on (Screw A) toward the rear. Please note there may be
a valance local screw located under the side cap; if so, remove this screw
and loosen the one on the other side.
Stretching is also a normal characteristic of awning fabric. If you notice your
awning fabric is no longer taut when fully extended, retract the awning slightly
to restore tension to the fabric.
If your awning is not in use during the winter
months, we recommend that you remove the
valance to prevent wind and ice damage.
The valance is removed by loosening and
removing the bottom screw from each of the
front bar end caps.
Pivot the caps on the remaining tightened
screw toward the awning frame and slide the
valance and tubing out of the channel. Pivot
the end cap forward, replace and tighten the
screws. Failure to reinstall the front bar end
cap screws can result in the fabric working its
way out of the frame and causing damage to
the fabric and/or frame.
Due to normal stretching of the fabric you may need to have the motor limits
adjusted by your dealer after a period of initial use. This is normal and is not a
warranty issue.
