2. Support weight of lead rail and lateral arm as-

3.
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD.
Make sure lead rail and lateral arm assemblies
are supported securely before loosening fasten-
ers. Do
NOT
completely remove fasteners, or
loosen them so far that shoulder base will dis-
engage from shoulder bracket. Otherwise, the
lead rail and lateral arm assemblies could shift
or drop quickly and unexpectedly, or lateral arm
assemblies could extend to the side (beyond
awning perimeter) quickly and unexpectedly.
Failure to obey this warning could result in death
or serious injury.
Slightly loosen pivot clamp screws (clamping
front shoulder collet to shoulder pivot). See
(FIG. 16) & (FIG. 17).
Loosen screws just enough to relieve
clamping pressure on components.
Repeat this step for each lateral arm as-
sembly requiring adjustment.

4. Retract awning until lateral arm assembly’s el-
bow meets top and back rail to check for clear-
ance. See (FIG. 15).
Allow enough gap to access top and bot-
tom tilt adjustment screws.
5. Adjust lateral arm assembly’s closing height.
See (FIG. 15), (FIG. 16), & (FIG. 17).
Repeat this step for each lateral arm as-
sembly requiring adjustment.
a. To increase (raise) elbow clearance:
I. Loosen (top front) & (bottom back) tilt
adjustment screws far enough to allow a
generous range of movement.
II. Tighten (top back) tilt adjustment screw.
III. Tighten (bottom front) tilt adjustment
screw.
IV. Repeat steps (II) through (III) as neces-
sary.
V. When desired clearance is reached, tight-
en (top front) & (bottom back) tilt adjust-
ment screws to clamp in place.
b. To decrease (lower) elbow clearance:
I. Loosen (top back) tilt adjustment screw.
II. Loosen (bottom front) tilt adjustment
screw.
III. Repeat steps (I) through (II) as neces-
sary.
IV. When desired clearance is reached, tight-
en (top front) & (bottom back) tilt adjust-
ment screws to clamp in place.
6. When you reach the appropriate clearance (for
ALL
lateral arm assemblies), extend awning far
enough (approximately 1′) to access pivot clamp
screws.
