Retracting the Awning
NOTE:
The awning can be retracted without resetting the
pitch.
1.
Hold the switch
(Fig.11A)
down until the awning is
retracted completely.
2.
Locate the locking latch on the side of the support arm,
if equipped, and lock the latch.
NOTE:
This latch is optional and may or may not be
installed on one or both support arms.
Adjusting Pitch
NOTE:
The awning will pitch itself to purge the pooling of
excess water and may dump a significant amount of water
without notice.
1.
Pitch can be set by adjusting the pitch arm to tip one
side of the awning to allow water runoff or shade.
2.
Extend the awning to the fully open position.
3.
Choose the side of the awning for optimum shade or
convenient water runoff. Pull downward on the joint of
the pitch arm until desired pitch is set
(Fig.13)
to allow for
water runoff.
NOTE:
Do not push the joint of the pitch arm up past
the point where the two sections are in line. This will put
tension on the gas strut, which can cause the strut to
break.
pitch
Extension is considered complete when the fabric is
completely unrolled, the valance is hanging down from the
roll tube and a section of the roll tube is exposed
(Fig.12)
.
The awning fabric should always be above the roll tube.
However, if the extend switch is engaged too long or
extend is hit inadvertently, the awning will roll up backward.
This is not a defect. To correct the fabric orientation, set
the switch to retract
(Fig.11A)
. The awning will then extend
to its correct orientation and normal operation can resume.
TYING DOWN THE ROLL TUBE ONCE THE AWNING
IS EXTENDED WILL NOT ALLOW THE FREE-
FLOATING SUPPORT ARMS TO WORK AS DESIGNED
AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AWNING OR
UNIT.
