This procedure will require replacing the front and rear motor covers in addition to the motor assembly.
Figure 2. Motor Replacement - Awning Closed.
1. Place a large flat blade screwdriver or similar tool in the seam between the front and rear covers. Using
a twisting and prying motion, break the covers off. It may be necessary to use a hammer and lightly tap
the screwdriver into the plastic to establish a starting point.
Tip: Start at the bottom and work around the seam until the covers are off.
2. Disconnect the motor and cable wires from inside the rear cover. Carefully note the location of each wire.
3. Firmly hold the motor and idler arms up while removing the three (3) motor attach bolts and nuts.
4. Remove the motor from the motor mounting frame.
CAUTION
The arms are under tension from the gas shocks. When the motor is
disengaged from the gears, the roller tube will be able to free spin and both arms will extend
from the gas shock tension. Use extreme care and hold the arms in position. It will be
necessary to have at least one other person holding the idler arm.
5. While holding on to the arms and roll bar allow the awning to extend to the maximum position; the fabric
will unroll from the roll bar.
6. On the right hand arm remove any pieces of the front and rear covers. Remove the cover's attaching
screws and save.
7. Remove the two square drive screws attaching the end cap to the roll bar, separate the roll bar and end
cap. It will be necessary to hold the roll bar and motor arm. Allow the arm to extend out.
8. Use a ladder or other device support the roll bar.
CAUTION
Do not allow the roller tube to drop toward the ground. The twisting motion
can cause serious damage to the idler arm.
9. Loosen and remove the 3/8-16 lock nut from the mounting bolt. Make note of the number and order of
the spacer-washers between the arm mounting block and the motor head.
