(Refer to the General Layout on page 1.)
1. Check the location the awning is to be mounted. Ensure that the awning will not interfere with other
equipment on the vehicle, such as a slide out room, light fixtures, exhaust vents etc.
2. On the awning rail, mark the location of the centerline of the motorized arm assembly.
3. Unroll the canopy one wrap.
NOTE: While the awning fabric is fairly robust, care must be taken not to snag it on the awning rail.
4. With one person holding each arm, the third person should thread the polyrod (the plastic rod on the
edge of the fabric) into the awning rail, starting at one end. Carefully move across the vehicle, gently
pulling the fabric into the rail, until the awning is in the pre-determined location.
5. Position the motorized arm on the coach:
motorized arm with the centerline marked in step 2. Butt the top of the
rear channel against the awning rail as shown.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For Uniguard and Alumaguard installations, the
centerline of the roller tube must be 3/4" ± 1/4" above the centerline of
the awning rail. If the arm cannot be positioned as shown and meet this
requirement because of trim below the awning rail, the installer must
remove the trim where the arms mount or install a new awning rail below
the trim.
6. Hold the arm assembly perpendicular to the awning rail and drill a 5/32" hole through the #2 mounting
hole and attach the motorized arm using a 1/4 x 1 1/2" lag screw
NOTE: For the bottom 3 mounting holes: when attaching into structure, use 1/4 x 1 1/2 screws; if not
attaching into structure, the use of moly rivets is acceptable. Moly rivets require a 1/4" hole in place of the
5/32" pilot hole.
The upper mounting holes (all configurations) must be attached into structure using appropriate length 1/4"
screws.
