Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Adjusting the Awning Pitch
Do not set the individual arm pitch at more than three (3) positions differ-
ent between the left and right arms. Damage to the arms and the canopy
can occur if the awning is retracted when the arms are set at more than
three (3) positions difference.
DO NOT USE A 110VAC POWER SOURCE FOR THE EMER-
GENCY OVERRIDE PROCEDURE! Doing so will permanently
damage the awning! Do not use the Emergency Override without
following the directions.
For awnings under 12 feet: The arms must be set at an equal pitch.
Damage to the arms and canopy can occur if the awning is retracted with
the arms uneven.
The longitude arms have 6 pitch adjustment settings. The awning can be extended and re-
tracted in any of these positions without resetting the pitch.
NOTE: Use care when adjusting the pitch as the awning may move
abruptly.
1.
Hold on to the awning arm to keep it steady while adjusting the pitch.
2.
Press in the pitch adjustment pins located on the scissor arm. Applying LIGHT pres-
sure on the arm will decrease the force required to press the pitch adjustment pins.
3.
Slide the scissor arm to the desired set hole – towards the coach for a lower pitch and
away from the coach for a higher pitch.
Additional Awning Operation Information
Operating the awning repeatedly over a short time period may cause the circuit to sense
an overheat condition and shut off the motor. If this occurs, wait approximately 15
minutes to allow the motor to cool then operate the awning in normal fashion.
Normal operation time is 28-35 seconds to extend or retract. If the power supply is on
the low side of the acceptable voltage range (10VDC– 14VDC) the awning will move
slower.
Always operate the awning according to the instructions.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight (tighten if necessary).
Keep the awning fabric and arms clean.
