Adjusting the Arm Position
For the awning to operate and close correctly, the arms must be parallel to the roller tube. If the arm sags,
the arm position can be adjusted to bring the
arm parallel.
1. Partially close the awning leaving the
roller tube 6" to 7" from the wall to access
the adjustment screws located on the side
of the arm knuckle at the wall.
2. Loosen the upper screw (counterclockwise).
3. Tighten (clockwise) the lower screw to raise
the arm elbow.
NOTE:
Make adjustments in quarter turn increments.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the arm is parallel with the roller tube.
