7 .1 Inserting Fabric into the Awning
Rail

WARNING: IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD .
Do not remove the LED rail (if equipped) from
the LED light strip awning fabric. Otherwise, the
awning fabric could separate from the awning rail
(on the RV) and cause the awning to extend quickly,
resulting in detaching, bending, or collapsing.
Failure to obey this warning could result in death or
serious injury.

CAUTION: LIFTING HAZARD .
Use proper lifting technique and control when
lifting the awning. Failure to obey this caution could
result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Keep both arm assemblies parallel to each
other to avoid twisting and damaging the awning.
I You will need at least two other people to hold
and control the hardware until the top mounting
brackets and back channels are correctly installed.
You may also need a stepladder.
