TROUBLESHOOTING
Can I “hard-wire” the awning motor into my home -
SunPro cannot be responsible for any changes in electrical configuration of the motorized awning.
Have your electrician contact a SunPro Awning representative for information regarding the motor.
How low can the pitch be set -
As low as a 35-degree angle.
Fabric wrinkles when the awning is opened/closed -
The awning fabric has a hem along both ends of the material; some wrinkling is a characteristic of the
extra thickness along either edge. This wrinkling may be more noticeable when retracted and after
prolonged periods when the awning is not used. This condition is normal. Leaving the awning open in
warm weather should minimize the wrinkling over a period of time. Ensuring that the awning fabric is
centered on both the Roller tube and the Front Bar may also lessen the appearance of wrinkles in the
fabric.
Lateral arms (elbows) are not even when awning is retracted -
Each lateral arm is supported individually to the square bar. Therefore, it is normal that when the
awning is closed, the arms may not necessarily be even with each other when viewed from the front
or underside of the awning. Insure that fabric is evenly centered on Roller tube and Front Bar. This
will assist the lateral arm in closing more evenly.
The roller tube and fabric appear to bounce when opening and closing the awning. -
The roller tube that holds the fabric is supported only at the extreme ends and it bows toward the
center. As the Roller tube rotates, it may move up and down toward the center. This is a natural
tendency of the bar and may be more noticeable with larger size awnings.
Fabric is not centered on the roller tube or the front bar. Fabric gathers more to one side on the
roller tube as the awning retracts.
1. Press the Neutral/Middle button on the remote.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet on the wall.
3. Manually crank the awning open; continue unrolling the fabric until the steel roller tube is fully
exposed.
4. Center the fabric on both roller tube and front bar.
5. Manually roll up the fabric until both lateral arms
‘lock’ and the fabric become tight; ensure that the
fabric is rolling over the top of the roller tube.
