5 Preinstallation

NOTICE: Do not allow the corner of the entry door to
contact the awning fabric. Otherwise, premature wear
or tearing of the awning fabric could occur. If there is the
potential for a squared corner entry door to contact the
awning fabric, a door roller kit must be installed. See
"Optional Parts and Kits" on page 4.
I Rounded corner doors may not require a door
roller kit if there is no potential for damage to the
awning fabric.
This section provides information on preparing the
awning hardware prior to awning installation.
