ITCH DJUSTMENT
The awning opens and closes with a steep pitch. On low profile vans, the leading edge of the awning may
hit the top of the sliding door if the door is open while extending or retracting the awning. To prevent this,
the lower limit of the pitch can be adjusted upwards.
1. Open the awning to access the screws located on the side
of the arm case knuckles.
2. Using an 8mm allen wrench, loosen the 2 screws on the side of
the case connector.
3. Have a second person lift the lead rail to the desired height.
4. When the pitch is set at the desired angle, tighten the screws.
Torque to 50 ft-lbs.
5. Repeat for each arm. Ensure that the lead rail is parallel
with the awning case.
NOTE: The lead rail is self-adjusting. No adjustment is required to the lead rail when the pitch is changed.
A
DJUSTING THE
The extend limit switch disables the extend function when the awning is fully extended. This prevents the
awning from overextending and can be adjusted so that the canopy is tight when the awning is extended.
The switch is located on the arm knuckle closest to the motor (i.e. right knuckle for RH motor, left knuckle
for LH motor).
To adjust the extension:
1. Open the awning to access the switch.
2. Loosen the screw.
3. Move the switch toward the arm to decrease the
extension.
4. Move the switch away from the arm to increase the
extension.

ANUAL VERRIDE
If power to the vehicle is not available, the awning can be safely retracted using the manual override
located on the idler end of the case.
NOTE: This procedure cannot be used to extend the awning.
1. Remove the outer endcap on the idler side and save.
2. Insert a 3/8" socket drive extension and handle into the
square drive hole inside the inner end cap.
3. Turn the handle to match the direction arrows until the
awning is retracted.
4. Replace the outer cap.
NOTICE
After closing the awning with the manual override, the lead rail may move out from the
case 1/4" -1/2". This is normal and the awning is secure for travel until power is restored or repairs
are completed. Do not attempt to force the lead rail in with the override, serious damage can occur
to the awning.
