Retracting the Awning
NOTE:
The awning can be retracted without resetting the pitch
(see Adjusting Pitch).
1.
Locate the crank handle for the awning
(Fig.30A)
.
2.
Insert the hook end of the crank handle into the eye bolt on
the drive head
(Fig. 29A)
.
3.
Turn the crank handle so the eye bolt rotates in a
counterclockwise direction until the awning is fully retracted.
NOTE:
Keeping the handle as parallel to the support arm
assembly as possible makes it easier to turn.

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. 31A)
.
Belleville washers and bolt
(Fig. 31B)
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.32)
. The 2-position arm can be set in
the pitch position or snapped into a straight position by
pushing the release button
(Fig.32A)
and sliding the
sleeve
(Fig.32B)
.
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.31B)
in the center of
the joint.
