Mounting Hanger Blocks
1�
The hanger blocks
MUST
be
mounted on the exterior wall of the RV
directly beneath the awning hanger
rail and opposite the corresponding
holes previously drilled in the roller tube
(Fig.25)
. Measure and mark the position
on the RV wall for all Awnbrella arms.
2�
Position the hanger blocks using the
marks as a center guide with the wide
side down and a
1/8
" gap between the
hanger block and awning hanger rail.
Use a Phillips screwdriver or drill bit
to secure the hanger blocks with 1-
1/4
"
self-tapping screws.
(Fig.26)
.
NOTE:
Be sure there is backing behind
the skin of the RV where the hangers are
mounted to prevent pressure damage to
the wall. Do not overtighten the screws.
Inserting Awnbrella Arms
1�
Thread the plastic tightening knobs
into the holes on the Awnbrella arms.
Extend one Awnbrella arm and measure
from the pointed tip end so that the knob
is approximately 8 inches from the end of
the C-channel. Tighten the knob
(Fig.27)
.
2�
Line up the remaining Awnbrella
arms and adjust them as done in step 1.
(Fig.28)
. Adjusting the arms now will make
it easier to properly insert them later.
3�
Slide the pointed tip of the arm into the
hole in the roller tube
(Fig.29)
.
NOTE:
If the tip doesn’t slide fully into the
roller tube, use a round
1/4
"
file to enlarge
the opening until it does.
4�
Loosen the knob on the rubber tip
end of the arm and push the Awnbrella
arm up against the fabric. Slip the rubber
tip end of the arm into the hanger block
mounted on the RV
(Fig.30)
. The harder
the Awnbrella arm is pushed against the
fabric, the more tension will be applied to
the awning.
5�
Tighten the knob so the arm will
remain rigidly in place. Be sure Awnbrella
arms are secure so they don’t fall down.
