Installation
NoTe: If installing a Pull Strap Awning, refer to
1.
Attach the awning heads to the support arm assemblies by screwing the 5/16"-18 x 2 ¼" bolts (266148) into the
ends of the support arms and tightening the bolts (Fig. 1).
2.
With two people holding the support arms, one at either end of the awning assembly, a third person needs
to line up the fabric cord with the awning rail that has been installed on the coach. Slide the fabric cord the
length of the awning rail.
NoTe: Do not unravel fabric more than one full revolution for installation or the tension will be too weak to retract
properly.
3.
Set the awning assembly to the desired height and attach it to the side of the coach with two #14 x 1 1/2" screws
(286576) at the top (Fig. 2) and two #14 x 1 1/2" (286576) screws at the bottom (Fig. 3).
NoTe: Make sure the awning assembly is square on the unit prior to mounting the bottom 2 screws.
4.
Remove the cotter pin from each head assembly. Extend the awning half way out. Secure the middle of the
wall mounting channel with two #14 x 1 1/2" screws (286576) at any of the three locations shown (Fig. 4). Repeat
this process for other side of awning assembly.
NoTe: Four rivets with 3/16" grip range can be used in place of the two middle and two lower screws on laminated
walls.
