CLOSE AWNING
B.
Prepare Awning For Travel
1. IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD.
Make sure ignition interlock is working correctly
before traveling with RV. If awning responds to
switch with ignition in ON position, accidental
operation during transit could occur. The awning
MUST be disabled, then serviced by a qualified
service technician. Failure to obey this warning
could result in death or serious injury.
With awning fully closed, Test ignition interlock
system:
T esting of ignition interlock system is only
applicable to motorhomes.
a. With vehicle ignition in ON position, attempt
to open awning.
b. If awning does NOT respond (remains
closed), the ignition interlock is functioning.
Skip to step (3).
c. If awning responds to switch (awning opens),
there is a problem with the ignition interlock
system. Proceed to step (2).
CLOSE AWNING MANUALLY (POWER FAILURE)
In case of power failure, it may be necessary to close
awning manually. There are two methods to close awning
manually:
Perform procedure under, "A. Auxiliary Power Method" on
page (7) first. If this fails, perform procedure under, "B.
Pull Strap Method" on page (8).
R ule out simple causes for power failure (RV dis-
connected from power, blown fuse, low/discharged
battery, ignition interlock, etc.) before attempting
to close awning manually. After awning is closed
manually, it will require service by a qualified
service technician.
The LED light strip (if equipped) is on a separate
circuit from awning motor. If LED lights work, but
awning motor does not, check awning motor's fuse
(at fuse panel or converter) before closing awning
manually.
A.
Auxiliary Power Method
When awning is in open position and 12 Vdc power
has been lost, the awning may be closed by sup-
plying auxiliary power (from external source) to aw-
ning motor.
A 12 Vdc automobile battery may be used as
an external power source.
2. Disable awning for travel to service center:
a. Close awning and remove fuse for power
source to awning.
b. Retest ignition interlock. See step (1).
c. If awning does NOT respond (remains
closed), the awning is now disabled. Skip to
step (f).
d. If awning still operates, pull motor connector
from hardware connector to disconnect mo-
tor wiring. See (FIG. 7).
T he motor connector may be hard to
reach when awning is closed. Pull wir-
ing at RH top casting until wires dis-
engage.
e. Repeat step (1) to verify motor is disabled.
f. Have awning repaired by a qualified service
technician.
3. Turn LED light strip (if equipped) OFF before
travel. See "A. LED Light Strip (If Equipped)" on
page (4).
4. Verify awning is secure for travel.
L ook for loose parts, and any sign of in-
stability.
1. L oosen adjustable knobs to allow awning to
reset to original position. Then lightly tighten
knobs on both arm assemblies to help ensure
rattle-free travel. See (FIG. 3).
2. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Disconnect power from product before access-
ing wiring connections. There may be issues
mimicking a power failure with electric current
still present, or power may return unexpectedly.
Failure to obey this warning could result in death
or serious injury.
Disconnect 120 Vac power from RV, and 12 Vdc
power to awning.
3. Unplug motor connector from hardware connec-
tor (located in upper part of RH arm assembly).
See (FIG. 7).
