Adjusting Pitch - All Solera Awnings

NOTe: The awning will pitch itself to purge the pooling of excess water and may dump a significant
amount of water without notice.
1.
Pitch can be set by adjusting the articulating arm to tip one side of the awning to allow water runoff.
2. Extend the awning to desired position.
3.
Choose the side of the awning for optimum shade or convenient water runoff. Pull downward on the
joint of the articulating arm until desired pitch is set (Fig. 5) to allow for water runoff. Do not push the
joints of the articulating arms up. This will put tension on the gas strut, which can cause the strut to
break. Belleville washers and bolt (Fig. 6A) allow the joint to remain in the position set by the operator.
NOTe: The awning can be retracted without resetting the pitch.
NOTe: If the articulating arm does not hold position, it can be tightened by adjusting the bolt (Fig. 6A) in
the center of the articulating arm.

Maintenance - All Solera Awnings

Fabric Care

If the awning is rolled up while wet, roll it out and let it dry as soon as conditions allow before rolling it up
again. This will help prevent the formation of mildew and add greatly to the life of the awning. Mildew does
not form on the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt and grime.
NOTe: Periodically clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a mixture of
of warm water. Liberally slosh the mixture on the top of the fabric and roll up the awning for 5
minutes. This will apply the mixture to the bottom of the fabric as well. Roll the awning back out and
hose off with fresh water. Repeat if necessary. Allow to dry before rolling up.
