Dometic 9200 Series Installation Instructions Manual page 11

7.2 Attaching the top mounting brackets
 IMPACT OR PINCH HAZARD. Arm assemblies are under tension from gas struts. Hold arm
assemblies and FRTA securely BEFORE removing ties. Otherwise, arms will extend quickly and unexpectedly.
Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury.
Control both arm assemblies while installing brackets. When the weight of the FRTA is not
supported, downward force could cause arm assemblies to swing sideways and damage the RV. Failure to obey
this notice could result in damage to the product or property.

The motorized arm assembly is ALWAYS installed at the RH side of awning.

Some awning rails have a wide drip channel
to catch water as it runs off the RV roof. It may
be necessary to lower the position of the top
mounting brackets to avoid interference.

➤ Drill 3/16" diameter holes through the marked
mounting hole locations and into the solid
structure of the RV. (Drill 7/32" diameter holes if
drilling through steel.)
I
The wiring harness hole location is determined
by awning model. The back channel will either
have a notch at top, or a hole near the bottom
for wiring to pass through the RV wall.
➤ If the wiring hole location is the bottom of the
RH bracket, then skip this step. If the wiring hole
location is at the top of the RH bracket, mark the
location and drill a 5/8" diameter hole.
