TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS

C. Adjusting Pitch and Elbow height
D. Motion Sensor Testing
A. ADJUSTING MOTOR LIMIT SWITCHES
TOOLS REQUIRED
Black plastic key provided with awning, or 4mm (5/32”) Allen wrench.
NOTE: The motor limit switches have been adjusted to the correct positions
at the factory prior to shipment. When fully retracted the awning motor is set
to stop the exact moment the awning box closes. When fully extended the
fabric should be taut and the arms should be slightly bent, exposing a gap of
about ¼” at the elbows.
Always check the motor limits after installation to ensure that the awning opens and
closes correctly. Awning fabric can stretch over time, this will require an adjustment of
the IN and/or OUT limit switch.
IMPORTANT: EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE
MOTOR LIMIT TURNS OFF AT THE EXACT MOMENT THE AWNING BOX
CLOSES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE THE MOTOR TO RUN WHEN THE
AWNING IS CLOSED. THIS WILL
DESTROY THE MOTOR.
1. The motors used in Girard Systems awnings are reversible.
2. The motor has limit settings for both OUT (extension) and IN (retraction).
