PROCEDURE

PINCH HAZARD. A horizontal distance of at
least 16" must be maintained between the

Do not allow awning fabric to rest on arm
assemblies. Wind will cause awning fabric
to rub against arm assemblies which could
cause premature wear and abrasions.
Note: When the awning is fully extended, the fabric edges
must be taut. If the awning fabric edges are sagging, the
out limit will need to be reset. See FIG. 2 and 3.
See "Reset Awning Out Limit" section.

B. Water Shed Feature
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD. Do not allow
water to pool on awning fabric. This will make
the awning unstable, and could cause the
arm assemblies and lead rail to bend or col-
lapse. Whenever heavy rain is expected, the
awning must be placed in the stowed (closed)
position.
Do not constrain or tie down lead rail as this
could disable the water shed feature.
Failure to obey these warnings could result
in death or serious injury.
This awning is designed with a water shed feature that
will automatically lower one side of the awning to allow for
water run off during light rain.
Note: This water shed feature is meant for light rain only.
Do not tie down or allow anything to constrain the lead rail.
This could disable the water shed feature and allow water
to pool on awning fabric. See FIG. 4.
