ADJUSTMENTS (OPTIONAL)
A.
Adjust Fabric Slope (If Desired)
This awning is factory preset for a 5° fabric slope to
help accommodate water runoff. Alternatively, the
awning may be set for a steeper slope (up to 15°)
if adequate clearance (for door, etc.) is available.
See (FIG. 12).

2. Tie all lateral arm assemblies securely (with
fabric strapping or light rope) near shoulder and
wrist. See (FIG. 13).
3. Support weight of lead rail and lateral arm as-
semblies securely.
4. IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD.
Make sure lateral arm assemblies are tied and
supported securely (with lead rail) before loos-
ening fasteners. Otherwise, the lead rail and lat-
eral arm assemblies could shift or drop quickly
and unexpectedly. Failure to obey this warning
could result in death or serious injury.
Loosen collet clamp screws (clamping back
shoulder collet) on (1) lateral arm assembly
ONLY. See (FIG. 14).

5. PINCH HAZARD. Keep CLEAR
of pivot area while raising or lowering lateral arm
assembly. Failure to obey this caution could re-
sult in injury.
Carefully loosen pitch adjustment screw, and
pivot lateral arm assembly down (lower lead
rail) until it is in desired position. See (FIG. 12)
& (FIG. 14).
6. Tighten both collet clamp screws to 140 in·lb
torque to re-clamp back shoulder collet. See
(FIG. 14).
7. Repeat steps (4) through (6) for each lateral arm
assembly.
8. Remove ties from lateral arm assemblies when
done.
9. Verify awning will close without interference.
S ee subsection, "B. Adjust Lateral Arm
Assemblies (If Required)" on page (8)
if adjustments are necessary.
See subsection, "C. Adjust Lead Rail
Alignment (If Required)" on page (10)
to adjust lead rail alignment.
B.
Adjust Lateral Arm Assemblies (If
Required)
Do NOT allow lateral arm assem-
blies to rub against lower lip of back rail when clos-
ing, or allow awning fabric to contact shoulder base
when fully opened. Otherwise, premature wear and
abrasions could occur.
If awning will not close correctly, or if lateral arm as-
sembly's elbow will not clear back rail, it will require
adjustment. See (FIG. 15).
T he lateral arm assembly's elbow should just
clear (slightly above) lower lip of back rail
without rubbing. Adjusting too high may in-
terfere with top (awning case), or may cause
shoulder base to contact awning fabric.
