7/16 Quadrex Drive screw.
3. Hook the remote lock over the brake lever while sliding the arm into the right end plug. Align the holes in the
arm and end plug and secure using one (1) 1/4-20 x 7/16 Quadrex Drive screw.

1. On the awning rail, mark the position of the centerlines of the arms. Ensure that the arms will not
interfere with any lights, vents or other obtrusions.
2. Using a non-permanent method of marking such as a chalk line,
mark a perpendicular line from the awning rail down to the floor
line. This is the centerline of the arms.
3. Position and attach the bottom mounting brackets. These should be
centered on the lines made in the previous step and
attached to the structure at the floor line of the vehicle. Attach using
1/4 x 2/12 lag screws.
NOTE: The bracket is made to straddle the trim found at the floor
line. A flat shim is available for mounting to flat areas without trim.
