Solera 12V Power Awning

(For Aftermarket Application)

CCD-0001282

Operation

Extending the Awning

1. 

Verify the unit’s battery is fully charged and connected to 

the electrical system.

2. 

Press and hold EXTEND 

(Fig.15A)

 until the awning is 

extended completely.

TYING DOWN THE ROLL TUBE ONCE THE AWNING IS 

EXTENDED WILL NOT ALLOW THE FREE-FLOATING 

SUPPORT ARMS TO WORK AS DESIGNED AND MAY 

CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AWNING OR UNIT.

NOTE: 

The awning fabric should always be above the roll 

tube. However, if the extend switch is engaged too long 

or extend is hit inadvertently instead of retract, the awning 

will roll up backward. This is not a defect. To correct the 

fabric orientation, press the RETRACT button 

(Fig.15B)

The awning will then extend to its correct orientation and 

normal operation can resume.

Adjusting Pitch

NOTE: 

The awning will pitch itself to purge the pooling 

of excess water and may dump a significant amount of 

water without notice.

NOTE: 

Pitch can be set by adjusting the pitch arm to tip 

one side of the awning to allow water runoff. 

1. 

Extend the awning to the fully open position.

2. 

Choose the side of the awning for optimum shade 

or convenient water runoff. Pull downward on the joint 

of the pitch arm until desired pitch is set 

(Fig. 16A)

Belleville washers and bolt 

(Fig. 16B)

 allow for the joint 

to remain in the position set by the operator.

NOTE: 

Some awnings are equipped with a 2-position pitch 

arm 

(Fig.17)

. The 2-position arm can be set in the pitch 

position or snapped into a straight position by pushing the 

release button 

(Fig.17A)

 and sliding the sleeve 

(Fig.17B)

.

NOTE: 

Do not push the joint of the pitch arm up past the 

point where the two sections are in a straight line. This 

will put tension on the gas strut, which can cause the strut 

to break. 

NOTE: 

The awning can be retracted without resetting 

the pitch. 

NOTE: 

If the pitch arm does not hold position, it can be 

tightened by adjusting the bolt 

(Fig.16B)

 in the center of 

the joint.
