Operation
NOTe: Some coaches may not use the LCI switch (Fig. 3).
Extending the Awning
1.
Verify the RV battery is fully charged and connected to the electrical system.
2.
Locate the locking latch (Fig. 1), if equipped, and unlock the latch (Fig. 2).
NOTe: This latch is optional and may or may not be installed on one or both support arms.
3.
Press and hold EXTEND (Fig. 3A) until the awning is extended completely.
NOTe: Extension is considered complete when the fabric is completely unrolled, the valance seam is visible
and a section of the roll tube is exposed (Fig. 4).
NOTe: The awning fabric should always be above the roll tube. However, if the extend switch is engaged
too long or extend is hit inadvertently instead of retract, the awning will roll up backward. This is not
a defect. To correct the fabric orientation, press the ReTRACT button. The awning will then extend
to its correct orientation and normal operation can resume.
Tying down the roll tube once the awning is extended will not allow the free-floating support arms to

Questions and answers
The factory installed Solera 3000 motor driven awning was installed on metal "cage" supports inside the fiberglass outside wall. Unfortunately, we have discovered that the awning is a total of 1" too wide for the installed channel bracket, causing the outer arm to rub against the mounting bracket. Remounting one of the arm assemblies is not an option because of the internal steel "stud" locations. Is it possible to re-position the shaft internal to the roller? Is there a better option?
