WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY!! PLEASE READ
THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FULLY INSTALL THE SAFETY SLEEVES CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY!
1. Fully close the Awning against the house. Use the Manual Crank Wand to roll up the Fabric tightly, so the
Lateral Arms are closed far enough to slide on the Plastic Safety Sleeves in
Step 4.
2. If Motorized, place the Wall Switch or Remote Transmitter in the neutral/stop position. For the Remote
Transmitter, press the “
my” button to put the Awning Motor into the stop position.
3. If Motorized, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
4. Slide the supplied Safety Sleeves onto both Lateral Arms, sliding them as far as possible toward the
existing Arm Clamps. See
Figure 1.
5. Use the Manual Crank Wand to unroll the Roller
Bar approximately one turn, so the fabric begins to
hang loosely between the Roller Bar and Front Bar.
See Figure 2.
Note
: The Plastic Safety Sleeves will keep the
Lateral Arms fully closed. This will allow the Fabric
to sag, taking pressure off the Front Bar, making it
easier to disassemble the Awning.
6. Using a #2 Phillips Screwdriver, remove the two
Phillips Screws from each
Front Bar End Plate.
Place the screws and End Plates in a safe, clean
location. See
Figure 3.
