opposite end from the gear or motor).

4-3 Before Calling for Service:

Important; If you are experiencing any

problems with the installation or

operation of your awning. Do not call

your retailer!!! First try the solutions

provided in the troubleshooting section below or call our Customer Service Support

Team at 1-800-858-5818. Our well trained staff can assist you.

Troubleshooting:

1. The awning has a knocking or cracking noise when operated.

olution The awning brackets have not been tightened completely. Be sure the mounting bar

is completely seated in the back of the mounting bracket and tighten the mounting bolt until

the locking lip on the inside of the mounting bracket is drawn down over the mounting bar.

(See Detail #6)

2. The fabric sags and is not tight.

olution The fabric can stretch if exposed to rain and water is allowed to pool-up on the

awning. Remember, your awning is designed for shade, not as a rain cover. Retract the awning

in and on the next sunny day, extend the awning and allow it to dry thoroughly. Your awning

should not be rolled up wet for long periods of time.

olution The arms are not fully extended. The fabric will be most taut when the arms are at

their furthest projection.

olution The arms are at full projection but you have continued to unwind the fabric off the

roller tube. Reverse cranking direction and retract the awning in until the fabric is taut.

Important: The fabric should always rollover the top of the roller tube, not from underneath.

(See Detail #18).

3. The awning squeaks when operated.

olution

A squeaking noise can resonate throughout the awning making it difficult to

identify the area to be lubricated. Most commonly it will be the pivot end of the roller tube.

Specifically, the area between the end bracket and the roller tube. See Section 4-2 on how to

lubricate the awning.
