DJUSTING THE
The Paramount arms are installed and adjusted at the factory to operate at the tallest height possible. For multiple
awning installations, the lead rails of adjacent awnings may appear to not align because of installation variables.
The height of the high lead rail may be lowered with the procedure below. This is not a pitch adjustment.
Maximum height adjustment is approximately 6.38".
1. Fully extend the awnings.
2. On the middle rail, locate the long arm knuckle
closest to the adjacent awning.
3. Loosen the securing screws located on the outside
of the knuckle. D
O NOT
4. Turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise to
lower the lead rail. Turn the screw in increments of
1/2 turn until the lead rail matches the adjacent
awning lead rail.
Tip: If the screw is hard to turn, have a second person lift up on the lead rail, then turn the screw and
let the lead rail down. Repeat until the lead rail is at the desired height.
5. Tighten the securing screws 30-33 ft-lbs.
