hole inside the end cap.

NOTICE
After closing the awning with the manual override, the lead rail may move out from the
case 1/4" -1/2". This is normal and the awning is secure for travel until power is restored or repairs are
completed. Do not attempt to force the lead rail in with the override, serious damage can occur to the
awning.

The awning opens and closes with a steep pitch. On low profile vans, the leading edge of the awning may
hit the top of the sliding door if the door is open while extending or retracting the awning. To prevent this,
the lower limit of the pitch can be adjusted upwards.
1. Open the awning to access the adjustment screws located on the arm case knuckles.
2. Have a second person lift up on the lead rail to relieve the
pressure on the adjustment screws.
3. Using a 4mm allen wrench, loosen the top screw. Turn the
bottom adjustment screw clockwise to raise the lead rail; turn
the adjustment screw counterclockwise to lower the lead rail.
4. When the pitch is set at the desired angle, tighten the top screw.
Torque to 30 in-lbs.
5. Repeat for each arm. Ensure that the lead rail is parallel
with the awning case.
Special Note: The Freedom RM lead rail self-adjusts to accommodate the pitch. No adjustment is required
to the lead rail when the pitch is adjusted.
