Girard Awning Operation via Wall Switch and Remote
(Model: G and Nova Series)
This article provides basic operation instructions for a Girard Awning via Wall Switch and Remote (Model: G and Nova Series).
How To Operate The Awnings
CAUTION
!
Never leave awning(s) extended without AC power
available to retract awning(s) via the motion/wind
sensor.
Girard awnings may be operated in light wind and
rain conditions. When periods of heavy rain and/or
high wind are expected, the awning must be closed.
Damage caused by wind and rain is not covered by
warranty.
IMPORTANT
!
CAUTION
!
Never leave the awning open and unattended. All
awnings must be closed prior to moving the vehicle
for any reason. As an extra safety precaution, check to
make sure every awning is fully closed. Before using
your awning, ensure that the surrounding area is
free of obstructions (trees, walls, pillars, posts, other
vehicles, etc.). Damage caused by failure to comply
with these instructions is not covered by warranty.
The awnings will not extend when the park brake
is released. However, the main awnings will retract
when the park brake is released if they are still
being supplied with 120 volt power. All other Girard
door and window awnings (if equipped) will lose
power and will not operate when the park brake is
released.
NOTICE
!
Before using your awning make sure that all of your
electrical circuits are operating correctly. Recreational
Vehicles can generate AC power from three separate
sources. The electrical system transfer switch in your
vehicle will select power for the awning as follows:
1. Shore Power – if connected;
2. Generator Power – if the generator is running;
3. Inverter Power – batteries must be charged for
inverter operation.
The main patio awnings are operated by a handheld
remote switch or a switch mounted in the overhead
cabinets or on the wall in the passenger cockpit area.
The exact location may vary by coach model and year.
Most switches are remote-battery operated. Girard
recommends replacing the batteries every year.
