To Retract the Awning:
• Remove the wind braces.
• Verify all persons and objects are clear from the retract path of
the awning and related hardware.
• Turn the One Touch key to the ON position.
• Press and hold the momentary switch to RETRACT . The motor
will automatically stop at full retraction.
• It takes approximately 14 seconds for the awning to travel from
the fully extended position to the fully retracted position.
• Turn the One Touch key to the OFF position to avoid accidental
deployment of the awning while the vehicle is in motion.
Tips - If the awning fails to retract or extend:
• Verify the One Touch key is in the ON position.
• The house battery cut off switch is in the ON position.
• The house battery voltage is at 12 Volts or above.
• Verify proper electrical connection from the awning motor to the
side of the motorhome.
Emergency Retract Procedure:
If the One Touch awning fails to retract and proper DC
voltages have been verified, the One Touch awning has two
emergency methods of alternately retracting the awning.
1. Two exposed electrical studs are mounted externally at
the forward end of the awning at the motor assembly.
An alternate 12 Volt DC positive and negative supply
may be applied to these connections. If awning fails
to move, reverse the polarity of the alternate supply
leads.
2. On the motor assembly, mounted externally at the
forward end of the awning, is an opening. Insert a
9/64” Allen hex wrench. Using an electric drill, wind
the awning to the retract position.
CAUTION: When using an alternate method to operate the
awning, use extreme care to keep appendages, hair or loose
clothing away from exposed rotating hardware.
12 Volt Motor.
