Refer to “Preliminary Steps” on page 11 before beginning this procedure.
1. Remove the motor end cap and set aside.
2. Disconnect the motor wires from the harness.
3. Remove the harness wire from the cable channel on top of the arm. Allow the harness to hang down.
4. Remove the motor screws (x2) and the end plate screws (5) and set aside.
5. Slide the end plate down along the harness to clear the end of the case.
6. Remove the fabric retaining screw from the motor bearing.
7. Pull the old motor out of the roller tube and set aside.
8. Place the one-way drive onto the new motor with the "A" pointing toward the motor. Secure with the new clip.
NOTICE
The one-way drive must be oriented with the "A" facing the motor. If the drive is not
oriented correctly, the awning will not operate and the arms will spring out when released.
9. Align the one-way drive with the roller tube and start sliding the new motor into the roller tube.
10. Align the bearing on the motor and slide into the roller tube.
11. Attach the fabric retaining screw through the bearing and into the fabric slot. The screw must be
positioned to thread into the metal of the roller tube slot and the edge of the canopy polycord.
12. Attach the end plate to the motor with the motor screws removed previously. Ensure that the motor is oriented
with the limit switches pointed toward the access holes in the end plate.
13. Align the screw holes in the end plate and attach to the awning case.
14. Attach the motor and harness wires (Blue to Brown and Brown to Blue). Fold and tuck the wires and
connectors to fit inside the end cap.
15. Route the wire harness into the cable channels on top of the arm.
16. While holding the lead rail, carefully remove any roller tube supports and arm ties. Allow the lead rail to extend
until the fabric is taut. If the lead rail continues to extend after the fabric is taut, the one way drive was installed
backwards. Retie the arms, remove the motor and orient the one way drive as shown.
17. To test:
17.1. Restore
power.
17.2. Use the switch to extend and retract the awning.
17.3. Open the awning halfway, shake the lead rail. If the awning extends, the motor wires are
reversed. Reverse the motor wire connections.
18. After replacing the motor, it will be necessary to adjust the motor limit switches (page 3).
19. After testing and adjusting the motor limit switches, attach the end cap.
