INSTALLATION
5.  IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD.
Do NOT over-tighten fasteners. Applying too
much torque may cause fasteners/threads to
fail, and could allow product to collapse. Failure
to obey this warning could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
 ALWAYS use sealant on (clean)
parts and surfaces where fasteners enter RV's
[walls / roof/ floor]. Otherwise, water leakage
could occur.
Apply sealant along entire top edge of mount-
ing bracket (where it contacts RV's wall), and
around drilled holes. Then place and tighten car-
riage bolts (with locknuts, and washers) through
mounting bracket and drilled holes in RV wall.
See (FIG. 6) & (FIG. 10).
 T ighten to 35 ±5 in·lb torque.
If solid structure is NOT present, use
backing plates and sleeves. See (FIG. 7).
Alternative fasteners may be used only if
size and strength requirements are met for
safe installation and operation of awning.
Bolt head MUST be no taller than 1/8".
See subsection, "A. Determine Awning
Location" on page (5) for more fasten-
er and wall thickness requirements.

 ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Disconnect 120 Vac power from RV. Failure to obey
this warning could result in death or serious injury.
 Failure to obey the following notices
could damage product or property:
● Disconnect the positive (+) 12 Vdc terminal from
supply battery. Otherwise, damage to unit could
occur.
● Do NOT pinch wiring or allow wiring to rub against
sharp edges. If wiring is damaged, it MUST be
replaced by a qualified service technician.

To complete electrical installation, additional wiring
(installer supplied) is required.
 W ire colors noted within this section are in-
dustry standard. Some RV manufacturers
use different colors. Refer to RV manufac-
turer's wiring schematics.
1.  I nstall wiring to awning motor.
a. Using the correct wire gauge, route (1)
BLACK wire and (1) RED wire (inside RV)
from 12 Vdc power supply to general loca-
tion where connections to awning motor will
be made.
 A llow enough wiring length to pass
through outside RV wall (hole will be
drilled later) for connection to awning.
Wiring hole location will be at RH end
cap. See (FIG. 3).
b. Make wiring connections inside RV.
 C onnection to power supply MUST be
on a separate (15 A) circuit.
Power supply MUST provide a mini-
mum of 11 Vdc at awning motor for
correct awning operation.
Wiring connections to awning (through
outside RV wall) will be made later.
2. Install ignition/safety interlock system.
 IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD.
Do NOT install product without also installing
an ignition/safety interlock system. Otherwise,
accidental operation during transit could occur.
Failure to obey this warning could result in death
or serious injury.
a.  Install a (3 A) fuse (installer
supplied) at fuse panel for positive (+) 12
Vdc ignition control ( PINK wire) to ignition
interlock. Otherwise, damage to unit could
occur.
b. Make appropriate wiring connections.
 T he ignition interlock MUST break the
circuit (cut power) to awning when ig-
nition is ON.
See instructions included with your
Dometic Corporation ignition interlock
kit for additional wiring instructions.
3. Mark awning wiring hole location. See (FIG. 3).
a. Determine horizontal distance.
 A wning bracket length ratio may vary
depending on length of awning, so
there may NOT be a constant distance
from end of bracket to end of back rail.
I. Measure length of awning back rail, and
length of awning bracket.
