Failure to strictly adhere to this retraction process may result in serius injury..
Manually Closing the Automatic Awning:
• Two people will be needed to perform this procedure.
• Slide the provided pull strap into the utility slot of the Fabric Roller Tube Assembly
(FRTA).
• Make sure that one person is securely holding onto the pull strap, while the other
person removes the bolt in the top of the right top casting. Once the bolt is removed,
the FRTA will want to roll in on its own. This is why it is very important to hold the
strap securely.
• While holding the strap, let the FRTA slowly retract until it is in the closed position.
• Once the awning is in the closed position, align the hole where the bolt was removed
and reinstall to secure the awning. The bolt must be reinstalled to prevent the awning
from opening during travel.
