Two telescoping vertical support legs are stowed in the lead rail. These are used to
provide increased stability and to adjust the height of the front edge (lead rail).
CAUTION
The vertical support legs provide increased stability but do
not compensate for harsh weather conditions such as wind and/or heavy rain.
During inclement weather, retract and secure the awning in the travel position.
1.
Extend the awning.
2.
Unlock the latch on the leg then slide the foot back to clear the tabs on the
lead rail endcap.
3.
Lock the latch and slide the leg out the end of the lead rail until it stops. It
will be necessary to lift the foot up to slide out of the end of the lead rail.

Horizontally rotate the leg 90 degrees.

Swivel the leg down.

For 2.44m & 2.57m awnings:

section of the leg a minimum of 8" then pull the foot out until it locks in
place with the ball lock.

For Carport Position:
Open the latch and extend the lower portion of the support down until
the carport foot is touching the ground.
Hold the carport foot on the ground and lift the top section of the support
until the awning is at the desired height. Close the latch.
Stake the carport foot to the ground. (Stakes are not included)
