one direction or the other according to which way the
cam lock lever is flipped.
To check the cam lock on the A&E awning, unlock the
main support arms. Hook the pull rod into the pull strap
and try to open the awning. Be sure the cam lock lever
is in the roll-up position. If the roller tube rotates 1/2
turn or more the cam lock must be repaired or re-
placed.
To check the roll-down position of the cam lock, open
the awning to full extension. Grasp the roller tube with
your hands and try to turn the tube in the direction it will
roll up. If the tube can be rotated 1/2 turn or more the
cam lock must be repaired or replaced.

2.10 STITCHES

The side hems and poly ropes of the awning are
stitched in with a sewing machine. At times the stitches
can allow water to leak through to the inside of the
roller tube. On vinyl awnings the stitches should be
sealed with seam sealer, available at sporting goods
stores. This will stop the water from running down the
inside of the roller tube. For the woven acrylic fabric of
the 9000, 9500 Series awning, Acrylife is an approved
sealant.
When sewing in the poly ropes of the fabric, if a straight
line is not followed it could cause the fabric to hang
