To Extend the Patio Awning:
1. Locate the awning pull rod.
2. Locate the loop of the pull strap and hook it with the
awning pull rod. Draw the awning away from the
motorhome to the desired extension.
WARNING: Always use the pull strap for
extending and retracting awning. Never retract
awning while holding onto the awning arm.
Hands or fingers caught between the awning
arm channel and brace channel during awning
retraction may result in serious injury.
3. Slide the inner bracing rafters to the top of each arm
ensuring the bracing is locked in place. Tighten the black
locking knob.
NOTE: Ensure the locking tab on the support
brace is latched through in the hole in the end
cap.
4. If equipped with Canopy Clamps, fasten the clamps at this
time.
5. Using the arm extension lock handle, the awning can be
hoisted upwards for additional clearance. Grasp upper arm
with one hand and lift slightly upward. While lifting
upward, push in on the release lever located on the lower
portion of the upper arm. Lift front of awning to the desired
height. Support the weight of the awning with one hand
while relaxing release lever and allow the engaging pin to
set into a hole in the lower arm. Go to the other awning arm
and do the same. Ensure the awning is straight.
6. Slide the center pull strap to one end of the awning and
store it by wrapping the strap around the awning leg.
