Checking Your Awning for Proper Operation
NOTE:
Do not plug the power cord into the
outdoor outlet yet.
Plug the electric cord into your outdoor ground fault
receptacle.
We’ve also supplied a wall holder for the remote
transmitter - see page 5.
CAUTION
: Do not permit the hand-held remote transmitter to
get wet as this can affect its proper operation. It
is recommended to install the wall holder inside the house.
WARNING:
Make sure to unplug the awning before using the
crank wand.
Note:
During an electrical outage, you can open or close your awning using the crank wand
supplied. Just insert the wand into the black crank loop and turn
– see

Test for Proper Operation
Note:
The open and close stop limits on the awning motor were set and tested at the factory prior to
shipment.
CAUTION
: When opening the awning for the first time, it is very
important to be sure that the Open stop setting on the motor has not
been disturbed during shipment to your home. After pressing the
‘Open’ button on the remote transmitter to extend the awning, be ready
to press the middle button if the awning continues to unroll past the
point that the fabric starts to excessively sag. If this happens, press the
‘Close’ button on your remote transmitter to close the awning and refer
to page
20
reset the open limit position on the motor.
Test the operation of your awning by using the open and close buttons
on your remote control. The awning should open to its full projection
and the arms will still be bent but not locked at the elbow (this is
normal). The awning should close so that the front bar is just inside the
protective housing. If your awning fails to open to its full projection or
does not appear to open and close properly, please follow the steps on
page
20
to reset the Open/Close Stop Limits. Are you happy with the
height and level of the Front Bar? If yes, Great! Your installation is now
complete. Enjoy your new awning. If No, and you would like to change
the pitch(angle) of your awning- refer to page
19
.
Note:
Please refer to pages
21
to
24
for Care and Maintenance Guidelines for your awning.
