IGHTING
Optional LED lighting may be mounted in the lead rail. The wiring runs along the top of the arm.
For motorized awnings: Route the LED wire harness with the motor cable.
For manual crank awnings: The harness routes through the end of the case. Drill a 3/16" hole into the
vehicle wall as shown on page 4.
CAUTIONS:
The wire should be secured to the wall of the vehicle where it is exposed on the outside of the vehicle.
Use a quality silicone sealant/adhesive.
Do not route the wire over sharp edges or heat sources that can cut or fray the wires or wire insulation.
Damage that is a result of improper routing may void warranty.

NSTALLATION
NOTE: Installers may choose to furnish the control switch. The installation requires that the power line
(+12VDC) be attached to a dedicated 2A circuit breaker or a 2A in-line fuse must be installed between the
switch and power source. For easy access, locate the fuse close to the switch.
