1. Disconnect power to the awning.
2. If the awning is extended:
2.1. Carefully push the lead rail toward the case so that the arms collapse.
While holding the lead rail in this position, firmly tie the elbows of the
spring arms together. Use a minimum 1/2" rope - do not use bungee
cords. When tying the rope, use a non-slip knot such as a square
knot or equivalent.
2.2.
(Detail A)
Remove the retaining screw holding the end cap.
2.3. The end cap snaps on and off the case end plate. Remove the end
cap and set aside. Go to step 4.
3. If the awning is closed:
3.1. Firmly brace the lead rail in the closed position. A second person can
hold the lead rail steady during the disassembly process.
NOTE: If the awning is closed and cannot be opened, it will be
necessary to drill through the end cap to access the end plate
screws. This will require replacing the end cap to complete the
repair.
3.2.
(Detail B)
Drill three (3) 1/2" holes through the surface of the end
cap. This is to provide access to the end plate attach screws.
4. Remove the 3 screws holding the end plate to the case, do not remove the
motor attach screws at this time.
