1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and level the unit.
2. Check where the awning arms will be installed. The arms fit snug to the side of the vehicle and must not
cover or interfere with exhaust vents, lights etc.
3. If there is an awning rail installed, check that the awning rail runs the full length of the awning. Please
refer to the note under "Installing an Awning Rail" before proceeding.

NOTE: If the vehicle already has a full-length awning rail installed, skip to step 5. The awning rail and arms must
be positioned so that any existing trim does not interfere with the awning arm when in the closed position.
1.
Determine the optimum positioning of the awning so that the arms will not interfere with the door frame or
light fixtures. The centerline of the awning rail should be above the door opening a minimum of 6". After
determining mounting position, mark the position with a chalk line.
2.
Awning rail must be level.
3.
Seal the back of the rail with a quality sealant or putty tape.
4.
Align the awning rail onto the wall and secure with #10 x 3/4" screws. Use all the attach holes in the rail.
NOTICE
Make sure the screws are securely mounted to the structural frame of the vehicle.
5.
Use a screwdriver to spread open one end of the awning rail on the
installation side.
6.
File any sharp edges or burrs from the end of the rail. This will help
protect the awning fabric from damage during installation.
7.
Spray inside the awning rail track with a dry silicone lubricant.
