The arms are under tension from the gas shocks. When the motor is removed
the roller tube will be able to free spin and both arms will extend from the gas shock tension. It will
be necessary to have at least one other person holding the roller tube and idler arm.

For Awnings Fully or Partially Extended

1. Disconnect power to the awning.
2. Remove the front cover on the motor
side. To remove: Press in on both
sides of the rear cover in the area

3. Disconnect the motor wires from
the motor cable.
4. On the back of the rear cover open
the access cover and pull out the
roller tube retaining clip until it
disengages from the roller tube. The
clip will "latch" in the detach position
and can be left in the cover.
5. Pull the roller tube from the motor
head.
6. Allow the motor arm to slowly extend
out to its maximum extension.
