1. Extend the awning out according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the awning
has vertical support legs, set the legs in the vertical (carport) position.
NOTE:
For the Freedom Wall Mount, leave one leg stored until the canopy
is installed. This is to allow access to the slot in the lead rail.
Tip: Clean the slot in the lead rail and lightly spray the inside with a dry silicone
lubricant. This will aid with sliding the canopy in.
2. Slide the Awning Extend’r into the slot of the lead rail with the “This Side Down”
label toward the vehicle.

OLES
This procedure is easiest done with two people.
1. Set the awning to the desired pitch.
2. Stretch the canopy extension out from the awning.
3. Place the post of the vertical support through the ring in the corner of the
extension.
4. Open the height adjustment lever on the vertical support and adjust the
height of the support as desired.
The poles may be adjusted from 46" to 90".
5. With a second person holding the support, place a stake through the d-ring
of the tension strap. Then drive the stake into the ground approximately 5'-6'
in front of the fabric.
6. Place the top d-ring over the vertical support post. Tighten the strap by
pulling the open end of the strap through the tension adjustment rings.
7. Place a second stake through the d-ring of the second tension strap. Then
drive the stake into the ground approximately 5'-6' to the side of the vertical
support and in line with the front edge of the canopy extension.
8. Place the top d-ring over the vertical support post. Tighten the strap by
pulling the open end of the strap through the tension adjustment rings.
NOTE:
You may need to
adjust the
strap tension after attaching the other side.
To loosen the straps,
lower the height of the vertical support until the strap
sags. Loosen the strap through the tension adjustment rings.
9. Repeat for the other side.
NOTICE
If it is necessary to adjust the awning pitch after staking down
the canopy extension; loosen the tension straps before adjusting the pitch.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the awning and canopy extension.
