Installing the New Fabric
1. Unfold the new fabric and slide the edge of the fabric (edge with black polycord) into the rollbar. The
fabric can only be inserted from the left side of the rollbar.
NOTE: The black polycord should only extend past the fabric approximate 1/2" to 1". Trim any
excess polyrod off before sliding the fabric into the rollbar.
2. Center the fabric on the rollbar then reinstall the fabric retaining screws. The screws should go through
the polycord and into the roll bar. Do not put the screws through the fabric. (Refer to Detail A).
3. Roll the fabric onto the rollbar. Make sure that the fabric rolls up straight.
4. Slide the white polyrod and fabric into the awning rail. Center the fabric and rollbar over the room.
5. Roll up any slack material onto the roll bar.

end cap. Attach with one (1) 1/4-20 x 3/4 socket head screw (removed earlier) through the left end cap.
NOTE: The roll bar cogs engage a protrusion in the right end cap.

For XL Models:
Insert the center cover mount into the deflector splice and around the rolled fabric.
Secure with a new cotter pin (included with replacement fabric).
8. Firmly grasp the rollbar and fabric then remove the spring lock cotter pin inserted on the spring end of
the rollbar. Allow the spring to tension the fabric slowly while releasing the rollbar.
9. Open and close the room to verify the fabric is rolling up straight. Adjust as required.
10. Reinstall the fabric retaining screws in the awning rail or adapter. The screws should go through the
rail, fabric and polycord approximately 1" in from the edge of the fabric. (Refer to Detail A).
