c) Position the arm support shoulder as required;
d) Tighten bolts no. 2;
e) Retract the awning.
C) If the arms first touch the wall when retracting, and only then close,
they must be adjusted as follows (figure 3):
a) Extend the awning until the fabric is hanging tension free;
b) Make a pencil mark at a few mm from the outside of the arm support
shoulder joint;
c) Slightly loosen bolts no. 1 and no. 2;
d) Tap the arm support shoulder joint until it is at the pencil mark;
e) Retighten bolts no. 1 and no. 2;
f) Check whether the awning now closes correctly. If this is not the case,
repeat these steps.
