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. Open the awning 2"-3" 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.
Tip: Lift the arm at the elbow while tightening the lower screw.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the arm is parallel with the roller tube.
5. Tighten the upper screw.

The awning pitch can be adjusted. It is strongly recommended that adjustments be made in small
increments to achieve the desired setting.
This procedure works best with 2 people, one person to lift the roller tube to relieve the weight and one
person to make the adjustments.
