ANOPY EPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect power to the awning.
2. Using the manual override (page 4), open the awning 18"-24".
3. Carefully push the lead rail toward the case so that the arms collapse and
the fabric is slack. While holding the lead rail in this position, firmly tie the
elbows of the spring arms together. Use a minimum 1/2" rope - do not use
bungee cords. When tying the rope, use a non-slip knot such as a square
knot or equivalent.
CAUTION
allow the spring arms to extend out possibly causing personal injury and damage to the awning.
4. Remove the outer end cap.
4.1. For machined aluminum end caps, remove the two screws. There is one inner and outer screw.
4.2. For molded end caps, snap the bottom out and lift up. No screws are used with the molded end cap.
5. Remove the fabric retainer screws. One is in the roller tube on the idler side. The other is located in
the lead rail.
6. Remove the end plate from the lead rail assembly.
7. Remove the idler end plate from the case.
NOTE: It will be necessary to firmly support the roller tube and
keep it from coming out of the case.
8. From the idler end of the roller tube, simultaneously slide the
old canopy out of the roller tube and lead rail.
9. Inspect the slots in the roller tube and lead rail. Clean and
deburr as required. Lightly spraying the inside of the slot
with a dry silicone lubricant will aid in sliding the new fabric.
10. Slide the new canopy into the lead rail and roller tube. Both
edges must be done at the same time. Orient the fabric so
that the large polycord goes into the lead rail, the smaller
polycord goes into the roller tube. The hem should be on the
down side.
11. The canopy should be approximately .25" from the end of
the motor crown.
12. Reattach the end plate to the case with the roll bar idler
seated into the glide bearing.
13. In the canopy slot on the idler side, stake the canopy to the
roller tube using one (1) #8 x 1" flat head screw through the
fabric, polyrod and roller tube.
14. Reattach the lead rail end plate.
15. Use the manual override to roll the canopy onto the roller tube. The canopy rolls under the roller tube.
Ensure the fabric rolls evenly onto the roller tube.
16. Once the fabric is snugly rolled up, remove the rope used to secure the arms.
17. Restore power to the awning.
18. Extend and retract the awning several times to confirm the canopy is centered and rolls up correctly.
19. Install the fabric retainer screws in the lead rail.
20. It may be necessary to adjust the motor limits. Refer to page 2.
