Instructions / Assembly

3-2 Motorized Operation:
Your new motorized retractable awning has been equipped and preset with factory limit
switches. These settings will allow you to extend or retract your awning to any position at the
touch of a button, without the worry of over extending or retracting your awning. This system
uses a remote control transmitter to operate the awning. Pressing the up button will retract
the awning, pressing down will extend the awning, and to stop the awning, simply press the
stop button. If the awning does not fully open or close, or once open the awning
continues to run unrolling fabric; STOP THE AWNING!!!! and call our toll free hotline
(1-800-858-5818). Note: Your motor comes with a built-in heat sensor to prevent motor
damage in the event of repeated use. This heat sensor will automatically shut the motor
off to allow it to cool before it can be operated again. This cool down period normally
takes between 10-15 minutes. Once the motor has cooled the awning can be operated
normally. Your hand held transmitter is battery operated and replacement batteries are
available at most electronic retail stores.
3-3 Pitch Adjustment:
Flex pitch Shoulder – 8000 Series only.
This patented shoulder system allows you to adjust the angle of your awning to compensate
for changes in the angle of the sun as the seasons change with only the use of your hand crank.
To adjust the pitch (angle) of your awning, extend the awning no more than 1/4 its full
projection. Next, insert the hook end of your hand crank into the silver pitch adjustment loop
on the bottom of each shoulder. (See Detail #17) Now turn the hand crank in either a
clockwise direction to lower the pitch or a counter-clockwise direction to raise the pitch.
Follow the same procedure until all the arms have been adjusted to the desired level. You can
adjust the pitch of your awning when it is fully extended only
if another person holds up the
front of the awning (or arm) and takes the added weight off the flex pitch bolt. (See Detail
#19) Only the person adjusting the flex pitch can determine how high to lift the awning as
the flex loop should turn easily. Over-lifting has the same affect as not lifting at all.
Important: The flex pitch shoulder has limitations to consider when operating. Once you
have achieved the highest possible range of pitch, the loop cannot be turned any farther. Do
not force it! Failure to follow these instructions can damage the flex pitch shoulder and
void the warranty.
