NOTE:
All screws supporting the awning assembly
MUST
have a backer within the structure of the wall of the unit.
NOTE:
This manual will refer to the “drive side” and “idler
side” throughout for various instructions. The “drive side” is
the right hand side of the awning when facing the awning
from the exterior of the unit. The “idler side” is the left
hand side of the awning when facing the awning from the
exterior of the unit.
NOTE:
When converting a Dometic Manual Awning to
a Solera Hybrid Awning, the converted awning will be
approximately 2” wider than the initial awning. Be sure
there are no obstructions that may interfere with the
installation of the support arm assemblies PRIOR to
beginning the conversion process.

Unlock the travel locks, move the cam lock to the roll out
position and extend the awning approximately 12”.
