Retracting The Awning; Adjusting Pitch - Lippert Components Solera Installation And Owner's Manual

Extension is considered complete when the fabric is
completely unrolled, the valance is hanging down from the
roll tube and a section of the roll tube is exposed (Fig.16).

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
(Fig.15B). 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 WORK AS DESIGNED
AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AWNING OR
UNIT.

Retracting the Awning

1. Verify the RV battery is fully charged and connected to
the electrical system.
NOTE: The awning can be retracted without resetting
the pitch.
2. Press and hold RETRACT (Fig.15B) until the awning is
retracted completely.
3. Locate the locking latch on the side of the support arm,
if equipped, and lock the latch.
NOTE: This latch is optional and may or may not be
installed on one or both support arms.

Adjusting Pitch

NOTE: The awning will pitch itself to purge the pooling of
excess water and may dump a significant amount of water
without notice.
4. Pitch can be set by adjusting the pitch arm to tip one
side of the awning to allow water runoff or shade.
5. Extend the awning to the fully open position.
6. Choose the side of the awning for optimum shade or
convenient water runoff. Pull downward on the joint of
the pitch arm until desired pitch is set (Fig.17) to allow for
water runoff.
NOTE: Do not push the joint of the pitch arm up past
the point where the two sections are in line. This will put
tension on the gas strut, which can cause the strut to
break.
