27.
Repeat Steps 5-26 for the idler side of the awning, skipping
all cam lock instructions.
NOTE:
The idler head does
NOT
have a cam lock, and
therefore the cotter pin is holding all the tension of the spring
assembly. Make sure to have a firm hold with pliers prior to
removing the cotter pin.
NOTE:
The drive side cam lock
MUST
be in the roll out
position.
NOTE:
Be sure to handle with care and always have a secure
hold of the idler head.
NOTE:
Make sure the idler head is facing the same direction
at the same angle as the drive head when sliding the idler
head into the roll tube (with cotter pin in the idler head).
28.
Once the drive and idler side conversions are complete,
remove the cotter pins from each end of the roll tube.
29.
Adjust the height of the roll tube using the support arm
lever
(Fig.16A)
so that the center of the roll tube is even with or
slightly higher than the awning rail.
30.
Locate the nearest hole on the lower arm and make a non-
permanent marking for the stop bolt location.
31.
Extend the support arm
(Fig.16B)
to gain full access to the
hole marked for the stop bolt
(Fig.16C)
.
32.
Insert the bolt into the marked hole from the inside of
the support arm
(Fig.16B)
and secure it with a lock washer
and acorn nut.

Awning
NOTE:
All screws supporting the awning assembly
MUST
have a backer within the structure of the wall of the unit.
NOTE:
This manual will refer to the “drive side” and “idler
side” throughout for various instructions. The “drive side” is
the right hand side of the awning when facing the awning
from the exterior of the unit. The “idler side” is the left
hand side of the awning when facing the awning from the
exterior of the unit.
1.
With the awning fully retracted, make a non-permanent
marking on the roll tube
(Fig.17A)
indicating the position of
the cam lock
(Fig.17B)
.
NOTE:
This mark will assist in positioning the cam lock on
the Solera Classic Manual Awning.
NOTE:
If this is a remote lock system the cam lock may be
located on the back side of the roll tube. If this is the case,
mark the front side of the roll tube where the cam lock
would be convenient to place.
2.
Unlock the remote and travel locks, move the cam lock
to the roll out position and fully extend the awning.
