NOTE:
All screws supporting the awning assembly
MUST
have a backer within the structure of the wall of the unit.
Refer to the unit manufacturer for proper location.
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.
Using a non-permanent method of marking, draw a
vertical line along the inside of both the drive and idler
side support arm assemblies. This will act as a guideline
for re-installation.
2.
With the awning fully extended, remove the 2 screws
securing the awning fabric to the awning rail.
3.
If equipped, remove drip cap from the end of the awning
rail on the end of the unit that the awning assembly will be
removed from.
4.
If equipped, remove the wire covers from the
mount arms.
5.
Remove all fasteners from the lower and middle sections
of both the drive and idler mount arms.
NOTE:
Do
NOT
remove the upper fasteners of the mount
arms at this time.
6.
With the power disconnected, pull the wiring out of the
sidewall and disconnect all leads from the unit wires.
7.
Connect the motor leads to a cordless battery and retract
the awning so that approximately 12” of awning fabric
remains extended.
