To keep the 7500, 8000, 8500, 9000, 9500 and
Grande Pavilion Model Awnings from unwinding
during this step, be sure the cam lock lever is in the
roll down position. A 1/8" cotter pin can be inserted
in each torsion assembly for positive locking of the
roller tube. See FIG. 2.

In all instances of fabric or roller tube replacement, it
will be necessary to have a large work area to allow
complete unrolling of the awning. This work area must
be clean and smooth so the fabric will not be damaged.
2.
Remove the TEK screws securing the awning fabric or
roller cover at each end of the awning rail. See FIG. 1.
3.
Remove both top mounting brackets on the ends of the
awning rail. See FIG. 1
