Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Adjusting the Awning Pitch
The longitude arms have 6 pitch adjustment settings. The awning can be extended and re-
tracted in any of these positions without resetting the pitch.
1. Hold on to the awning arm to keep it steady while adjusting the pitch.
2. Press in the pitch adjustment pins located on the scissor arm. Applying LIGHT pressure
on the arm will decrease the force required to press the pitch adjustment pins.
3. Slide the scissor arm to the desired set hole – towards the coach for a lower pitch and
away from the coach for a higher pitch.
Additional Awning Operation Information

Operating the awning repeatedly over a short time period may cause the circuit to
sense an overheat condition and shut off the motor. If this occurs, wait approxi
-
mately 15 minutes to allow the motor to cool then operate the awning in normal
fashion.

Normal operation time is 28-35 seconds to extend or retract. If the power supply
is on the low side of the acceptable voltage range (10VDC– 14VDC) the awning
will move slower.

Always operate the awning according to the instructions.

Periodically check that the fasteners are tight (tighten if necessary).

Keep the awning fabric and arms clean.
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide for detailed operating and safety information.
 Do not set the individual arm pitch at more than three (3) positions differ
-
ent between the left and right arms. Damage to the arms and the canopy
can occur if the awning is retracted when the arms are set at more than
three (3) positions difference.
 DO NOT USE A 110VAC POWER SOURCE FOR THE EMER-
GENCY OVERRIDE PROCEDURE! Doing so will permanently
damage the awning! Do not use the Emergency Override without
following the directions.
 For awnings under 12 feet:
The arms must be set at an equal pitch.
Damage to the arms and canopy can occur if the awning is retracted with
the arms uneven.
