7. Remove the cord/straps from the non-motorized awning. Extend the coupled awnings. The
fabric should be tight on both sides; if the motorized side is tighter, the awnings must be
realigned. See note on the last page for the realignment procedure.
8. Adjust the awnings for equal pitch and lead rail adjustment. (Refer to the Adjustments
section of this manual)
9. Move the lead rail guides away towards the center and make room to insert the lead rail
connector. The lead rail connector is installed in the lead rails. Center the connector bar
between the two awnings (approximately 8¾” per side). Remove the two Phillips screws and
drill one 9/64” hole into the lead rail using the lead rail connector as your template. Insert and
tighten the one Phillips screw and the tighten the hex screw on the same side. Draw the lead
rails together until they are joined and flush in the center. Using the attached lead rail
connector as your template drill a second 9/64” hole and tighten the other Phillips screw.
Tighten the remaining hex screw. (Figure 8)
