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 manually 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. 13) to allow for water runoff. Do not push the
articulating arm up past straight. This will put tension on the gas strut, which can cause the strut to break.
Belleville washers and bolt (Fig. 14A) allow for 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. 14A) 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
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 the fabric to dry before rolling up.
