To operate the awning using the Mode switch:
• OFF—the center position shuts the system down. The awning cannot be extended or retracted in this mode.
It is strongly recommended that the switch be in this position whenever the awning is not used and during
transport. This will prevent the awning from accidentally extending.
• POWER ON—the bottom position activates the switch controls.
• AUTO-REETRACT ON—the top position activates the switch controls and the Auto-Retract system. When the
switch is placed in the POWER ON or AUTO-RETRACT ON position, the switch will illuminate to indicate the
system is active.
To operate the awning using the Patio switch:
• EXTEND---press and hold the switch. The awning extends out until the switch is released.
• RETRACT—press and release the switch. The awning automatically retracts until it is fully closed. To stop the
awning before it is closed, press and release the retract switch a second time; or, switch the MODE switch to
the OFF position.
To operate: Set the MODE switch to POWER ON or AUTO-RETRACT ON.
To operate the awning using the Auto-Retract system:
• Turn the POWER ON; turn the AUTO-RETRACT ON; set the SENSITIVITY to the desired level.
For detailed instructions and a troubleshooting guide, refer to the specific Owner’s Manual located in the
Owner’s Information Package.
NOTE: Be sure that the awning is fully locked into position on both arms before travel. Failure to do so
may cause the awning to deploy when the motor home is in motion.

Caution
Since damage resulting from weather is not under warranty, anytime a heavy or
prolonged rain or blustery winds are anticipated, it would be advisable to retract
the awning. Similarly, if the awning is to be left unattended for any prolonged
length of time, it would be prudent to retract that awning.
