Step 6. Drill a 5/8" clearance hole (one per plate) at
point C, 3/8" deep. Make sure to clean out the holes.
Step 7. Place the Deck Plates over the mounting holes
and install the Plates with the supplied #14 stainless
mounting screws. Place the Ground Brackets on the
Deck Plates and secure them together using the
Ground Bracket Handles.
Step 8. Be sure that the latch on the Lift Handle is
fully engaged in a Square Hole inside of the Inner
Arm. See Figure 44. If not, raise the Arm slightly so
the latch engages in the next hole. You may need to
unroll the Fabric slightly if you cannot raise the Arm
easily. The Lift Handle will retract back towards the
Outer Arm without assistance when the Latch is fully
engaged in a Square Hole. Do not force the Handle
closed, as this will cause damage to the Lift Handle
Assembly. Figure 45a shows a correctly engaged
Lift Handle. Figure 45b shows a Lift Handle that is
engaged incorrectly.
Step 9. Make sure that both Inner Arms are extended
the same amount from the Outer Arm. Adjust the
Arms, if needed.
Step 10. Determine how you will use the Arms on
your Awning.
• Proceed to Step 11a if you will be using the Awning
with either one or both Support Arms in the Vertical
position.
• Proceed to Step 11b if you will be using the Awning
with both Support Arms only in the Angled position.
Step 11a. FOLLOW THIS STEP IF YOU WILL BE USING
THE ARMS IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. On the inside
of the Inner Arm, locate the hole that the Lift Handle
Latch is currently engaged in. Make a mark next to
this hole. This is necessary so that you will close the
Awning at the same location each time. Repeat this
step for the other Arm. Skip to Step 16.
Step 11b. FOLLOW THIS STEP IF YOU WILL NOT BE
USING THE ARMS IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. Look
at the front of the Inner Arm. There should be a round hole either right below or right behind the bottom
edge of the Outer Arm. See Figure 46. If there is, continue with this step. If there is not a hole in the location
explained above, skip to Step 12 now. With a pencil, make a mark next to the round hole that is either below
or right behind the bottom edge of the Outer Arm. See Figure 46. Operate the Lift Handle and extend the Inner
Arm about 2" so that you have access to the back of the Arm. See Figure 47, Step 1. On the next hole above
the hole that you marked with the pencil, place an extra 1/4-20 x 1/4" screw (supplied) through the round hole
from the back of the Arm. See Figure 47, Step 1. Attach an extra Acorn Nut (supplied) to the front of the Inner
Arm and tighten with a 7/16" wrench. Lower the Arm to the new Acorn Nut stop. See Figure 47, Step 2. Repeat
these steps for the other Arm. Skip to Step 16.
