Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Power Awnings (if so equipped)
Each power awning will have its own control switch, which is typically located on the com-
mand center switch panel located inside the entrance door. Pressing and holding the switch
will extend or retract the awning.
Carefree® Longitude Awnings (if so equipped)
Offer the following features:
 Scissor style arms that do not require vertical ground supports.
 Adjustable arms with ( 6 ) position pitch adjustment.
 Worm gear driver motor eliminating the need for travel locks.
 Single switch operation, 12V motorized awning.
Adjusting the Awning Pitch
The longitude arms have 6 pitch adjustment settings. The awning can be extended and re-
tracted in any of these positions without resetting the pitch.
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the RV is in transit.
 The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and can
cause severe damage to the awning and/or the recreation vehicle. If wind
or extended periods of rain are expected, retract the awning.
 It is recommended that if leaving the recreation vehicle unattended for a
length of time you should retract the awning to avoid unexpected weather
conditions.
 Do not set the individual arm pitch at more than three (3) positions differ -
ent between the left and right arms. Damage to the arms and the canopy
can occur if the awning is retracted when the arms are set at more than
three (3) positions difference.
 DO NOT USE A 110VAC POWER SOURCE FOR THE EMER-
GENCY OVERRIDE PROCEDURE! Doing so will permanently
damage the awning! Do not use the Emergency Override without
following the directions.
 For awnings under 12 feet: The arms must be set at an equal pitch.
Damage to the arms and canopy can occur if the awning is retracted with
the arms uneven.
NOTE: Use care when adjusting the pitch as the awning may move
abruptly.
