FAILURE TO SUPPORT THE ROLL TUBE, FABRIC
AND AWNING ASSEMBLY DURING INSTALLATION
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.

Fabric Installation

Installing Fabric Into Roll Tube

1. Measure the old fabric from end to end. Use that
measurement for your new fabric. Then cut to fit using
scissors and a straight edge. You can also use the old
fabric as a template.
2. To protect the fabric from damage during installation, file
any edges or burrs from the roll tube. To avoid damaging
the new fabric, it is recommended to apply masking tape
along the leading edge corners.
3. Thread the gray polycord into slot of roll tube, then
slowly slide fabric along the length of the roll tube.
4. Center the fabric on the roll tube and secure it with
previously removed screws.
5. With one person at each end of the roll tube, roll the
fabric so that it rolls over the top of the roll tube toward the
bead edge of the fabric.
6. Replace end cap on the roll tube, making sure to line-up
marks made on the end cap and roll tube (Fig.4C)
7. With one person firmly holding the roll tube, the other
person will turn the torsion arm clockwise 14 turns (if on
the left end of roll tube or counterclockwise if on the right
end of roll tube) in order to increase the tension.
8. Replace the cotter pin into the end cap and shaft of the
torsion arm assembly.
9. Repeat step 7 and step 8 on the opposite end of the roll
tube, making sure that both torsion arm brackets are facing
the same direction.

hex extension rod. By sliding the hex extension rod all the way
