that the arms collapse. While holding the lead rail in this position, firmly tie
the elbows of the spring arms together. Use a minimum 1/2" rope - do not
use bungee cords. When tying the rope, use a non-slip knot such as a
square knot or equivalent.
3. If the awning is closed: Firmly brace the lead rail in the closed position. A
second person can hold the lead rail steady during the disassembly
process.
CAUTION
spring arms will try to extend out possibly causing personal injury and damage to the awning.
Support the roller tube and allow the awning to open slowly then secure the arms by tying the elbows
together as described above.
CAUTION
Failure to secure the lead rail as described will allow the spring arms to unexpectedly
extend out possibly causing personal injury and damage to the awning.
