2. Press in the pitch adjustment pins located on the scissor arm. Applying
LIGHT pres-
sure on the arm will decrease the force required to press the pitch adjustment pins.
3. Slide the scissor arm to the desired set hole – towards the coach for a lower pitch and

Additional Awning Operation Information
 Operating the awning repeatedly over a short time period may cause the circuit to sense
an overheat condition and shut off the motor. If this occurs, wait approximately 15
minutes to allow the motor to cool then operate the awning in normal fashion.
 Normal operation time is 28-35 seconds to extend or retract. If the power supply is on
the low side of the acceptable voltage range (10VDC– 14VDC) the awning will move
slower.
 Always operate the awning according to the instructions.
 Periodically check that the fasteners are tight (tighten if necessary).
 Keep the awning fabric and arms clean.
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide for detailed operating and safety information.
Emergency Operation
If power to the vehicle is not available, the awning can be retracted by jumping the motor
using a 10VDC – 14VDC power source such as a cordless drill battery or car battery.
1. Remove the front cover (the cover snaps onto the
rear cover). Press on both sides of the rear cover
until the front cover releases then lift the cover off.
2. Detach the RED and BLACK wires from the cable
to the motor.
3. Attach jumper wires to the motor wires.
4. Connect the other ends of the jumper leads to the
10VDC – 14VDC source. If the awning moves in
the wrong direction, reverse the leads. Maintain
contact throughout the retraction process.
5. When the awning is closed, remove the jumper wires and reattach the cable wires to the
motor wires. Be sure to match RED to RED and BLACK to BLACK.
6. Snap the front cover onto the rear cover. Hang the cover on the top and swing it down
until it clicks.
