Instructions / Assembly

4. Unable to adjust the pitch on the awning. (8000 Series only)

olution

The awning is already at its maximum height or drop. Do not force the awning any further.

Solution Flex Pitch adjustment is being performed incorrectly. Please refer to Section 3-4

Pitch Adjustment for proper operation directions.

5. The awning does not move in or out.

olution Be sure there is power to the outlet. Check to see if there is a reset button on the

exterior outlet or if a circuit breaker is off.

6. The fabric bunches up or wrinkles in places when retracted.

olution This can possible occur in wider awnings that have a center support. Center Supports

are mounted to the square tube and positioned around the roller tube to prevent it from

bowing out and keeping the fabric taut while extended. It is common for the fabric to bunch

or pucker slightly on wider awnings. This will not harm the fabric.

4-4 Miscellaneous:

Suggested uses for empty shipping tube:

Rather than cutting up the shipping tube and leaving it for the garbage truck, here are a few

suggestions you may want to try. We're sure you will think of some other uses as well.

1. Cut into sections, paint and use as garden planters.

2. Attach sections vertically in the garage to be used to store brooms, rakes, or hockey sticks.

3. Attach sections horizontally along the garage ceiling to store long lengths of lumber,

moulding or plumbing supplies.

4. Cut into sections and use as a form to hold concrete.

Valance removal:

You may wish to remove and store the valance during long periods when the awning will not

be in use, such as the winter months. As this portion of the fabric is exposed to the weather,

even while the awning is retracted, it will wear and discolor sooner than the main top will. To

remove the valance, simply remove the screws from each front rail end cap with a Phillips

screwdriver. (See Detail #21) Now remove the fabric locks located in the hem on both sides of

the valance and slide it out of the channel. Roll up the valance and place in a plastic bag (be

sure valance is dry) along with the fabric locks and store for the winter. Reattach the front rail

end caps. To install, simply reverse the process.
