out of the Front Channel and let it hang down in-

side the Back Channel. The awning will still sup-

port its own weight at this point.

4. Remove the pin that joins the Adjustable-Pitch

Arm to the Back Channel (Pin B.) A SECOND

PERSON MUST BE READY TO SUPPORT

AND CONTROL THE AWNING ROLLER TUBE

AT THIS TIME. Repeat the procedure of Step

3 on the indicated pin, again collecting and put-

ting aside the pin and spacers. To make it easier

to remove the pin, relieve the tension due to the

strut by gently pushing up on the Top Arm. Re-

move and discard the old Adjustable-Pitch Arm.

5. Install the new Adjustable-Pitch Arm. Attach

the new Adjustable-Pitch Arm to the hardware by

re-installing both pins. Start with the pin at the

Back Channel (Pin B,) then the pin at the Front

Channel (Pin A.) Remember that the pin at the

Back Channel must pass through the Adjustable-

Pitch Arm and the Strut End Fitting.

IMPORTANT:

The box channel of the Adjustable-

Pitch Arm must be connected to the Back Channel, and

the open c-channel of the Adjustable-Pitch Arm must

be connected to the Front Channel (with the knob on

the underside.) Failure to follow these instructions

may cause damage to awning components.

6. Reinstall all spacers and secure both pins. Install

one new internal-tooth locking washer (included)

on each pin. DO NOT REUSE OLD INTERNAL-

TOOTH LOCKING WASHERS. Use the 3/8" nut

driver to push them over the pins until they bot-

tom out against the Front Channel.

7. Verify that the awning is working properly.

B. REPLACEMENT OF KNOB/NUT

1. Remove old Knob/Nut. If Knob/Nut is missing, go

to Step 2.

2. Install new Knob/Nut.

3. Verify that the awning is working properly.

C. RETROFITTING A 89510XX MODEL SE-

RIES POWER PATIO AWNING

1. This section is intended for adding water-shed-

ding capability to the 89510XX series hardware,

which is not equipped with Adjustable-Pitch

Arms.

NOTE: Full adjustable-pitch functionality cannot be

achieved with the 89510XX series unless the whole right-

hand ("RH") side is replaced with an 89520XX series RH

side in addition to the LH retroﬁ t described in this sec-

tion.

2. Open awning fully. Locate the LH side Bottom

Arm (this will be the Bottom Arm that DOES NOT

have an electrical cord running through it.) Refer

to FIGS. 1&2. The Bottom Arm is the one-piece

member located in place of the Adjustable-Pitch

Arm in FIG. 1. Make note and keep track of the

spacers located between the Adjustable-Pitch

Arm and the Strut End Fitting (qty. 2,) the spacers

located between the Adjustable-Pitch Arm and

the Back Channel (qty. 2,) and the spacers lo-

cated between the Adjustable-Pitch Arm and the

Front Channel (qty. 2, not shown.) You will need

to re-install these spacers before the installation

is complete.

3. Remove the pin that joins the Bottom Arm to

the Front Channel (Pin A.) First pry off the inter-

nal-tooth lock washer using the Flat-Edge Screw

Driver. Use care to avoid damage to the powder-

coat ﬁ nish of the hardware. Next remove the pin

using the Ball-End Hammer. Start by supporting

the side of the Front Channel where the ﬂ at head

of the pin is located, and use gentle, ﬁ rm taps on

the free end of the pin. Collect the pin and two

spacers and put aside. Swing the free end of the

Bottom Arm out of the Front Channel and let it

hang down inside the Back Channel. The awning

will still support its own weight at this point.

4. Remove the pin that joins the Bottom Arm to

the Back Channel (Pin B.) A SECOND PER-

SON MUST BE READY TO SUPPORT AND

CONTROL THE AWNING ROLLER TUBE AT

THIS TIME. Repeat the procedure of Step on

the indicated pin, again collecting and putting

aside the pin and spacers. To make it easier to

remove the pin, relieve the tension due to the strut

by gently pushing up on the Top Arm. Remove

and discard the old Bottom Arm.
