4-6.4.10 Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Lead Rail is binding on side of awning
casing, i.e. is offset from awning
casing. Open awning about three (3) feet. Loosen both set screws on each arm at their point of
connection to the lead rail. Remove both fabric set screws located at each end of the lead rail.
The lead rail is now ready to be shifted. Close the awning to about four (4) inches and, using a
rubber mallet, tap on the end of the lead rail to move the rail over. Check for proper alignment,
retighten the set screws, and replace the fabric set screws. For more information see “
LATERAL
SHIFTING OF LEAD RAIL .”
One part of the box (opposite end
from motor) does not close tightly.
Motor end closes correctly. See “
IN AND OUT ADJUSTMENT OF LEAD RAIL
.”
After above adjustment, one end of
box (opposite end from motor) STILL
does not close tightly. Motor end
closes correctly. On later model awnings, a “pivotal” adjustment of the lead rail is available. This means that the
lead rail is allowed to PIVOT on its connection bracket to the awning ARMS. First, check that this
option is present. If so, check that the lead rail is free to pivot on its pivot bolt. If not, loosen the
lock nut on the pivot bolt by 1/2 turn. Additionally, check that the privot angle is correct.
The motor will not operate. Check that the GFI circuit breaker in the vehicle is turned on. Also, if the vehicle is equipped
with an awning main power switch, located inside the cabinets, check that it is turned on. The
110V motor in the Girard awning is for intermittent use only (4 Min Per Hour) and is designed
to “temporarily cut out” if it is used to the point of overheating. In this event, the motor must
be allowed to cool, to provide time for its built-in circuit breaker to reset. Please allow up to one
hour, depending on outside air temperature, for this cool down period. The manual crank can be
used during this period.
The motor will not operate, or the
motor will operate long enough for the
awning to extend 10 to 12 inches and
then stops. The motor is not receiving enough amps, i.e., the inverter output is low. Check that a minimum of
10 amps is running. If not, turn on the generator or go to shore power.
The fabric is loose when the awning
is fully extended, i.e., the roller keeps
turning after the awning arms have
locked open. The motor “OUT” limits need to be re-set (see Setting Motor Limits section) to ensure that the
motor stops when the arms are fully extended and locked.
The box does not close completely,
i.e., the motor stops before the lead
rail has retracted completely (on
either end) into the awning casing.
There is no apparent binding of the
awning components. Your awning is equipped with a MO (manual override) motor which has manual limit settings.
The “IN” limit may need to be re-set to allow the box to close tighter. See “
Setting Motor Limits ”
section.
As the awning is closing, the “elbow”
of one or more of the arms is hanging
downward, preventing the case from
closing. Open the awning about 18 inches. At the selected arm, loosen the two (2) large lock nuts located
at the side of the upper arm connection. Locate the smaller adjustment bolt head directly under
the REAR lock nut and rotate SLIGHTLY UPWARD to raise the arm. Retighten lock nuts. NOTE:
After re-tightening lock nuts the arm will raise slightly further. See
Height Adjustment of Arms .
NOTE: These troubleshooting tips are offered to you for informational purposes and it is recommended that
the following adjustments be made by an authorized service center. This guide will, however, allow you to become
more familiar with your awning and will provide you with adequate knowledge in the event of an emergency.
