Cable Routing at the Top of the Arm
The motor cable has a 10" lead at the top of the arm for top of arm routing. The installer must furnish wire
splice from the motor wire leads to the switch location. Use 14awg wire.
The cable is tucked into the back of the mounting rail. For top routing, remove the cable from the back of
the arm and route back through the access hole.
Cable Routing at the Bottom of the Arm
This is done before the awning is mounted to the vehicle.
1. Route the motor cable through the access hole.
2. Splice the installer furnished wire to the motor wires. Use
14awg wire.
3. Press the motor wires into the outer channel slot on the back
of the rail.
4. Route the LED harness through the routing slot on the side
of the arm and down the channel on the back of the rail.
NOTE:
a) For LED's at the roller tube, the harness is routed after the
roller tube has been mounted to the arms.
b) For awning rail LEDs allow the LED harness to extend 3-4"
past the top of the rail.

SSEMBLING THE
1. Decide on the location of the switches to determine the cable routing (refer to page 4).
2. On the RH (motor) arm, press the roller tube
shaft into the hole in the motor head. It may
be necessary to twist the roller tube to align
the flats on the roller tube shaft with the flats
in the motor head bearing.
NOTE: The retaining clips are factory installed
in the rear head cover as shown.
3. With the roller tube shaft
press the retaining clip onto the shaft. The
clip goes in only when the shaft is fully
inserted. Press the clip until it is firmly seated
in the groove of the roller tube shaft.
NOTICE
The roller tube must be fully
inserted into the head for the clip to align
with the groove on the shaft. The roller tube
can disengage if the clip does not seat in the
groove of the shaft.
4. On the LH (idler) arm, press the roller tube shaft into the hole in the idler head.
5. With the roller tube shaft fully inserted, press the retaining clip onto the shaft. Move the roller tube shaft
until the clip aligns with the inner groove of the shaft. Press the clip until it is firmly seated in the groove
of the shaft.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT remove the plastic covers from the retaining clips until instructed to do so.
NOTICE
During assembly and installation, the arm assemblies must remain perpendicular to
the roller assembly. Failure to handle the arm assemblies carefully can bend the drive shaft.
