PINCH HAZARD. Maintain a hori-
zontal distance of at least 16″ between fully open
awning and any permanent object. Failure to obey
this caution could result in injury.
1.

Then rotate hand crank (counter-clockwise) until
awning is fully extended. See (FIG. 7).
Awning is fully extended when fabric starts

2.
Do
NOT
allow awning fabric to
rest on arm assemblies. Wind will cause awning
fabric to rub against arm assemblies which could
result in premature wear and abrasions.
When awning is fully extended (fabric is sag-
ging), rotate hand crank back (clockwise) ap-
proximately 1/4 turn to obtain maximum tension.
See (FIG. 7) & (FIG. 9).
Fabric edges
MUST
be taut.
