5.
Slide the pull strap to the right end of the roller and wrap it around the main arm.
6.
Pull up on the lift handle and raise the arm assembly to the desired height. Swing the handle in and allow the
lock button to snap into one of the holes. Repeat on the other side.
7.
Press the release lever at the bottom end of one main arm, pull the arm assembly outward to a vertical
position, and readjust height. Repeat on the other side. Drive provided stakes through holes of each patio foot
into the ground.
8.
During rain, lower one end to allow water to flow off.
CAUTION
Whenever heavy or prolonged rain or wind is anticipated, or you will leave the awning unattended, it is best to close the
awning. Damage as a result of weather is not covered by warranty.
Retracting
1.
Pull the stakes from the ground, swing the arm toward the vehicle, and snap the patio foot into the bracket.
Repeat on the other side.
2.
Raise the lift handle to release the lock button. Lower the main arm to the stop plug. Swing the handle in to
engage the lock button in a hole. Repeat on other side.
3.
Loosen black adjustment knob, lift slider catch, and slide the rafter arm down to the bottom of the main arm.
Leave the black adjustment knob loose. Repeat on other side.
4.
Grasp the pull strap and pull toward you. Flip the locking lever to the ROLL UP position. Hold the awning in
the down position until you are ready to roll up the awning.
5.
Slide the pull strap to the center and using it to control speed, allow the awning to return to the side of the
vehicle. Allow the strap to wind diagonally to prevent a bulge in the fabric.
6.
Tighten the black adjustment knob and flip the travel lock latch down. Repeat on other side. The awning is
now ready for travel.
CAUTION
The awning roller tube is under great tension from internal springs, and will begin to roll up as soon as the locking lever
is moved to the "ROLL UP" position. Great caution should be used to insure it does NOT fully retract in a swift,
uncontrolled manner. Damage to the RV, awning, and personal injury are possible.
Power Awnings
If your unit is equipped with power operated awnings, the switches to operate them are typically located in the
cabinet above the entry door, or on the wall adjacent to the entry door. Rocking the switch to “Extend” will
deploy the awning; “Retract” returns the awning to its stored position.
CAUTION
It is important to examine the travel path of the awning to insure it can fully extend or retract without interference with
trees, posts, etc.
Window Awning (Optional)
Also optional on this unit are the matching window awnings. To operate, follow these instructions.
