Classic Awning Troubleshooting

What's Happening?

What Should Be Done?

Awning will not extend.

Check position of the cam lock (roll out).
Ensure that the travel locks have been released from the outer arm.
Make sure the locking knob for the rafters has been loosened.
Check to see if the outer arm is resting on the mount/rafter arm.  

If so, the outer arm height adjustment is not set properly.

Awning will not retract or 

only retracts part way.

Make sure the mount/rafter arms have been put in the stored position 

and the locking knob has not been tightened.
Check position of cam lock (roll in).
Ensure the outer arms have been placed in the closed/stored position.
Ensure the awning has the proper tension on it.

Fabric is loose or 

sags on the edges and middle.

Make sure that the mount/rafter arm has been pulled tight and the 

locking knob is secured.
Check that the fabric is square on the unit and with the roll tube.
Make sure the fabric is properly secured to the awning rail on the unit.
Make sure roll tube is not bent.

Locking knob will not tighten.

The nut for this is a thread part that tightens the arms together.  

Open the awning and check when turning the knob that the nut is not 

stripped out. If it is not stripped, it would require replacing both parts.

Mount/rafter arm will not extend.

Make sure the locking knob has been loosened.
Make sure there is no debris in the track the arm slides in.
Make sure arm is not bent.

Awning will not roll up straight.

Check to make sure fabric is centered on roll tube and also centered 

between the arms attached to the unit.
If the fabric is not centered, remove the screws on both ends of the 

awning and shift the fabric accordingly.
Make sure there are screws at both ends of the fabric securing it to the 

roll tube and at the awning rail. If there is only one screw at one end 

and not the other, the awning may not roll up correctly. 
Make sure the legs are square and straight.

Awning will not stay in the 

rolled out position.

Check the cam lock. Signs of a faulty cam lock include: 

The absence of a clicking noise when the awning is rolled out. 

The awning rolling back up after it is placed in the stop position.
