WARNING: IMPACT OR PINCH HAZARD.
Do
not
remove the cotter pin from the torsion rod
until the awning fabric is attached to the awning
rail, the torsion rod is secured to the assembled
hardware, and the hardware is secured to the slide-
out room. Rapid casting spin off will occur. Spring
tension will attempt to spring the hardware and/
or the fabric roller tube quickly and unexpectedly.
Failure to obey this warning could result in death or
serious injury.
9. Remove and discard the cotter pin from the LH
torsion rod at the LH end cap.
Removing the cotter pin will release factory preset
tension. To facilitate removal, rotate the fabric roller
tube by pulling the bottom of the tube forward while
pulling on the cotter pin.
10. Repeat step 9 for the RH end.

End Cap
1. Determine onto which end cap the anti-billow stop
will be installed.
I
Slide Toppers 198 in. (503 cm) or wider require an
anti-billow stop at both end caps and a cradle kit
for the center support. Refer to “Finding Tools and
Materials” on page 3.
2. Place the anti-billow stop onto the end cap with the
opening facing away from the awning rail.
3. Position the anti-billow stop with the bumper pointed
straight up.
4. Tape the anti-billow stop in place on the end cap.
I
If either screw hole in the anti-billow stop interferes
with the existing holes or openings in the end cap,
rotate the anti-billow stop no more than 30° from
the vertical position away from the RV wall.

Anti-Billow Spacer
5. Determine the required configuration of the anti-
billow bracket and the spacer (spacing from the RV
wall) to ensure the anti-billow stop will not rotate past
a 45° angle toward the RV wall.
The anti-billow bracket and anti-billow spacer can be
configured for a spacing range of 0.31 in. to 1.5 in.
(0.78 cm to 4 cm).
6. Using the correct spacing configuration, position the
anti-billow bracket and anti-billow spacer onto the RV
wall.
