Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Adjusting the Pitch
 Extend the awning to the desired location.
 Choose the side of the awning for optimum or convenient water runoff. Pull
downward on the joint of the articulating arm ( Fig 5 ) until pitch is set to allow for
water runoff. Do not push the articulating arm past straight. This will put ten-
sion on the gas strut and can break it. The washers and bolt allow for the joint (Fig
6A) to remain in the position set by the operator.
Fabric Care
If the awning is rolled up wet, roll it out and let it dry as soon as conditions allow before
rolling it up again. This will help prevent the formation of mildew and increase the life of
the awning. Mildew forms on the accumulated dust, dirt and grime. Periodically clean the
awning fabric using a mixture of ¼ cup of dish soap mixed with 5 gallons of warm water.
Liberally apply the mixture on top of the fabric and roll the awning up for 5 minutes. Roll
it out and hose off with fresh water. Repeat if necessary. Allow to dry before rolling it up.
Manual Override
In the event of a power loss or a
motor failure, the awning can be
extended and retracted manually.
Perform the following procedure
to manually retract the awning:
 Remove the rubber plug
from the power head as-
sembly (located on the
right side of the awning
as viewed from the outside of the RV) exposing the manual override nut on the
motor ( Fig 7A ).
NOTE: If the pitch is not manually set, the awning will pitch itself
to purge excessive water pooling in one location and may dump a
significant amount of water to either end of the awning without notice.
Pitch can be set manually by adjusting the articulating arm to tip one
side of the awning to allow water runoff.
