Skip this subsection if awning is
NOT
equipped with an LED light strip.
1.
FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD. Make sure there are no obstacles
(wires, pipes, etc.) inside RV’s [roof / floor /
walls]. Shut
OFF
gas supply, disconnect 120
Vac power from RV, and disconnect positive (+)
12 Vdc terminal from supply battery
BEFORE
drilling or cutting into RV. Failure to obey these
warnings could result in death or serious injury.
With awning open, drill (1) 5/8” diameter hole
through outside wall of RV (near right end of aw
-
ning and under awning rail).
Make sure location will allow LED wiring
to pass through wall without interference.
2.
Do
NOT
pinch wiring or allow wir
-
ing to rub against sharp edges. If wiring is dam
-
aged, it
MUST
be replaced by a qualified service
technician.
Use a grommet (installer supplied) when routing
wiring through RV wall.
If grommet is
NOT
used, use heat-shrink
tubing where wiring will pass through RV
wall.
3.
ALWAYS
seal wiring against
weather and moisture where wiring enters RV’s
[walls / roof / floor]. Otherwise, water leakage
could occur.
Pull wiring through wiring hole (and grommet).
If grommet is
NOT
used, make sure seal
-
ant will also provide effective and perma
-
nent protection against wire damage.
4.
Make sure the positive (+) 12
Vdc terminal is disconnected from supply bat
-
tery. Otherwise, damage to unit could occur.
Connect LED switch wiring to the factory
prewired LED light strip.
See instructions included with your LED
switch kit (installer supplied) for additional
wiring instructions.
5. Secure wiring to prevent pinching or other dam
-
age during awning operation.
Allow enough slack in wiring to safely ac
-
commodate possible fabric movement.
E. Secure Awning For Travel
1.
With power applied to awning, operate awning
according to Operating Instructions to verify all
parts are functioning correctly.
2. Fully close awning. See “B. Close Awning” on
page (11).
3.
Verify awning is secure for travel. See “C. Pre
-
pare Awning For Travel” on page (11).
VERIFY INSTALLATION
A. Test Operation
With power applied to awning, operate awning ac
-
cording to Operating Instructions to verify all parts
are functioning correctly.
B. Limit Switch Adjustment
The awning comes equipped with limit switches
to stop the motor at full extension and full retrac
-
tion. These limits are set at the factory and typically
should not need any adjustment by the installer
or the user. If adjustment of the limit switches is
deemed necessary, use a 3 mm Allen wrench.
1.
To determine if retraction adjustment is neces
-
sary:
a.
Front rail should fit snug against the case
when awning is fully retracted.
b.
Motor should turn itself off and stop trying to
turn when awning is fully retracted.
If motor continues to try to turn once
awning is closed, damage to motor or
awning components may occur.
I. To adjust for less retraction, turn ad
-
justment screw counterclockwise. See
(FIG. 12).
