pitch arm does not hold position, it can be tightened by 

adjusting the bolt

without a battery.

NOTE: 

 Use caution when retracting the awning manually. 

The use of a step stool or ladder may be required to 

completely retract the awning.

3. 

When the awning is completely retracted, replace the 

rubber grommet in the drive head assembly 

(Fig.15A)

NOTE: 

The motor’s internal drive system prevents the 

awning from moving (extend or retract) on its own. If the 

motor is damaged or disabled, make sure to secure the 

awning in the retracted position with a strap around both 

the outer arm and the mount arm 

(Fig.17)

 before the 

manual override nut is released.
