Positioning The Canopy - Carefree FIESTA Service Manual

ANUAL ATIO WNINGS

Positioning the Canopy:

11. Alumaguard applications:
11.1. The Alumaguard should be centered between the arms.
11.2. Center the fabric in the Alumaguard. Once positioned, use a pair of side cutters or similar tool and
crimp the aluminum over the polyrod. Use care to not bend or distort the aluminum slats.
12. FLXguard and Weatherguard: Center the fabric in the awning rail between the arms.
13. Replacement canopies are flared (tapered) on both sides. Center the fabric on the roller tube. Install the
fabric retaining screws outside the fabric through the polyrod and into the roller tube.

NOTE: Previous acrylic canopies with LEDs were flared only on the right side. If servicing an awning and not
replacing the canopy, the LH edge of the canopy should be parallel to the centerline of the LH arm leaving a
larger space between the roller tube end cap and fabric on the RH side (approximately 1.5").

14. Remove the cotter pin and tape from the roller lock then release the brace(s).
15. Slowly roll up the awning and observe that the braces and arms nestle together correctly. If necessary,
loosen the screws holding the upper mounting bracket then use the slots in the bracket to adjust the
brace position so that the brace and arm nestle together properly.
16. Tighten the upper mounting bracket screws.
