This procedure is for replacing the outside arms. For the middle arm on 4.5 and 5 meter awnings, refer to
page 10.
CAUTION
The spring arm is under tension to open. Use extreme care and firmly hold the
spring arms during assembly and disassembly to avoid any sudden or unexpected movement by
the arm. Serious personal injury and/or property damage could occur.
1. Open the awning to the maximum extension or as wide as possible. Adjust the motor limits (see page
13) to allow the lead rail to over extend and create slack in the fabric. This is to minimize the spring
tension in the arms during this procedure.
2. Disconnect power to the awning.
3. Use a scaffold, ladder or other means to support the lead rail.
4. If replacing the LH (motor side) arm, carefully remove the sensor
cable from the wire channel on top of the arm. Use care to not
bend, break or compromise the cable.
5. At the lead rail, firmly hold the spring arm and remove the
clip and pin that secures the arm to the lead rail connector.
Set parts aside to be reused.
6. Allow the arm to extend below the lead rail. Support the end
of the arm.
7. Loosen the pitch adjustment screws.
8. Remove the retaining clip from the case connector. Remove the arm from the awning.
If replacing the lead rail connector, go to page 6 then return here.
9. Remove the pivot assembly from the arm by removing the set screw and pin.
10. If the arm has wire channel mounted for the sensor cable, carefully remove the channel from the arm to
reuse on the new arm.
11. Install the pivot assembly on the new arm using the pin and set screw removed previously. Torque set
screw to 15-20 in-lbs.
12. Using two people firmly hold the new arm assembly and remove the shipping ties. Allow the arm to
open slowly to its maximum extension.
CAUTION
When the arm is closed, it can open with significant force. Use care when
opening the arm.
Tip: Use a floor or ground cover and place one knuckle and arm half on the ground. Have one person
firmly hold the arm half on the ground while the second person carefully opens the other arm half.
13. If the sensor cable is routed on the replacement arm:
a. Attach a piece of wire channel to the top of each section of the arm using double sided tape. If using
new channel, cut each piece slightly shorter than the arm extrusion.
14. Lift the arm assembly into position and slide the pivot into the lower hole of the case connector.
