1.
Once all the above steps are complete, remove the outer
arm
(Fig.33A and Fig.33E)
from the side of the unit by
releasing the lever on the lower mounting bracket.
2.
Walk the awning out until the outer arm
(Fig.33A and Fig.33E)
is straight up and down and let it
set on the ground.
3.
Make sure to secure the foot of the outer arm
(Fig.33A and Fig.33E)
to the ground with the provided
stakes.
Retracting the Awning
1.
If in carport mode, remove the stakes from the foot of
the outer arm
(Fig.33A and Fig.33E)
. Then walk the outer
arm back to the unit and secure it to the lower mounting
bracket on the sidewall of the unit. Do this for both ends.
2.
Take the awning pull strap and return it to the center of
the awning roll tube.
3.
Lower the roll tube by holding the outer arm
(Fig.33A and Fig.33E)
and releasing the support arm
assembly handle on the side. Let the outer arm upper
channel
(Fig.33A)
slide down the outer arm lower channel
(Fig.33E)
until it rests on the acorn nut. Repeat this for the
other end.
4.
Loosen the black locking knob
(Fig.33C)
and unlock the
rafter arm
(Fig.33B and Fig.33D)
by releasing the spring
clip from the top of the head assembly. Allow the rafter arm
to slide all the way down toward the bottom of the outer
arm
(Fig.33A and Fig.33E)
. Repeat this for both ends.
5.
Take a firm hold on the awning strap and release the
tension on the springs by flipping the cam lock up to the
roll in position.
6.
Walk the awning in toward the unit. Hook the pull rod
into the pull strap before the strap gets too high. Using the
pull rod, walk the awning to the fully-closed position.
7.
Lock the arms for travel mode by compressing
the outer arm
(Fig.33A and Fig.33E)
and rafter arm
(Fig.33B and Fig.33D)
together until the red tab
disappears. Then tighten the black locking knob
(Fig.33C)
.
Maintenance
Fabric Care
NOTE:
If the awning is retracted while wet, extend the
awning and let it dry as soon as conditions allow before
retracting. This will help prevent the formation of mildew
and add greatly to the life of the awning. Mildew does not
form on the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt
and grime.
NOTE:
Periodically clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric
using a mixture of
1/4
cup of dish soap and 5 gallons of
warm water. Liberally apply the mixture on the top of the
fabric and retract the awning for 5 minutes. This will apply
the mixture to the bottom of the fabric as well. Extend the
awning and hose off with fresh water. Repeat if necessary.
Allow to dry before retracting.
