3. Pull lift handle out and slide main arm down until
it rests on stop bolt. Then release lift handle to
lock in position. See (FIG. 13) & (FIG. 20).
Top casting should now clear top pivot by
1/2″ when awning closes. See (FIG. 16).
4. Repeat steps (1) through (3) for opposite side.
E. Release Preset Tension
1.  IMPACT OR PINCH HAZARD.
Do NOT remove nail from torsion rod (at end
cap) until BOTH arm caps are secured to cor-
responding main arms, and awning safety lock
lever is in roll down position. Otherwise, rapid
casting spin off will occur. Spring tension will at-
tempt to close the awning quickly and unexpect-
edly. Failure to obey this warning could result in
death or serious injury.
With awning safety lock in roll down position, re-
move nail from right end of torsion rod (RH end
cap). See (FIG. 21).
Removing nails will release the factory
preset tension. To facilitate removal, you
may need to twist the fabric roller tube (as
if unrolling awning) by pulling the bottom
of tube toward you while pulling on nail.
a. Hold strap securely.
b. Rotate awning safety lock to roll up position,
allowing awning to roll up against RV sur-
face.
5. While holding bottom mounting bracket against
RV wall, mark hole locations. See (FIG. 17) &
(FIG. 19).
6.  FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD. Verify there are no obstacles inside
RV’s roof and/or walls (wires, pipes, etc.). Shut
OFF gas supply, disconnect 120 Vac power from
RV, and disconnect positive (+) 12 Vdc terminal
from supply battery BEFORE drilling or cutting
into RV. Failure to obey these warnings could
result in death or serious injury.
Drill 3/16″ diameter holes through marked
mounting hole locations and into solid structure
of RV.
Drill 7/32″ diameter holes if drilling into
steel.
7.  ALWAYS use sealant on (clean)
parts and surfaces where fasteners enter RV’s
roof and/or walls. Otherwise, water leakage
could occur.
Apply sealant to #14-10 X 1 3/4” hex head screw
threads. Then place and tighten screws through
bottom mounting bracket and into solid structure
of RV.
8. Repeat steps (1) through (7) for opposite side.
D. Install Stop Bolts

help prevent over-travel of arm assembly.
Before proceeding with stop bolt installation:
● Bottom mounting bracket MUST be
installed.
● Patio foot MUST be latched into bottom
mounting bracket.
● Lift handle MUST be locked in position.
1. Pull lift handle out and slide main arm up by one
hole only. Then release lift handle to lock in posi-
tion. See (FIG. 13).
