The remote switch can be located at any convenient loca-
tion to operate the awning from inside of the vehicle. A com-
mon location is in the dash of motor homes. See FIG. 9.

The switch is a double throw triple pole momentary “ON”
switch.
b.
Route three 18 AWG. copper stranded conductors
Green, Yellow and Brown in color from the Awning Con-
trol Box to the location for the remote switch.
c.
Connect the Brown wire to the center terminal of the
remote switch and to the brown wire on the molded plug
pigtail harness of the control box.

Connect the Yellow (retract) wire to one of the outside
terminals of the remote switch and the Yellow wire on
the molded plug pigtail harness of the control box.
e.
Connect the Green (extend) wire to the remaining out-
side terminal of the remote switch and the Green wire
on the molded plug pigtail harness of the control box.
10. INSTALLATION OF THE IGNITION LOCK
Installation of the ignition lock will prevent the extension of
the awning if the engine of the motor home or tow vehicle is
operating and the AC power is available to the awning. See
FIG. 9. Use the following Procedure:
a.
Route a Pink and Brown 18 AWG copper wire to the
ignition switch from the control box.
b.
Connect the Pink wire to the Pink pigtail wire off the
control box.
c.
Connect the Pink wire to the Positive DC source of the
ignition system (battery).
d.
Connect the Brown wire to the Brown pigtail wire off
the control box.
e.
Connect the Brown wire to the Negative DC source of
the ignition system (battery).
f.
Restore the AC power back to the coach. With the
Ignition Key “ON” the awning should not extend. Turn
“OFF” the ignition Key and extend the awning, while
observing for clearance over doors and other coach struc-
ture that may interfere with it’s movement. If an ob-
struction is present it may require adjustment of the
pitch of the awning canopy. See Section 11.
a.
Coach should be parked on a flat and level surface,
such as a concrete garage floor.
b.
Extend awning canopy till it is about to make contact
with the obstruction, or fully extended.

Adjust the set screw (in to raise or out to lower, each,
turn changes slope 4° per turn) to change the awning
slope. See FIG. 14.
This unit must be serviced by a qualified
service technician. Modification of this prod-
uct can be extremely hazardous and could
result in personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
!
11. ADJUSTING AWNING PITCH
Note: The awning is factory preset with a 20° pitch. If minor
adjustments are required to level the lead rail they must
maintain the 20° slope. A slope of 20° is 4.38” of drop for
each foot of extension of the awning.
