Gaviota Lateral Arm System Upgrade Instructions
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY!! PLEASE READ
THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS.
PLEASE NOTE THAT LEFT AND RIGHT REFERENCES ARE AS YOU FACE THE HOUSE.
Tools Needed: Step ladder, #2 Philips Screwdriver, 13mm (or 1/2") wrench or socket, 6mm Allen wrench, 5mm
Allen Wrench, 4mm Allen wrench, 7/16" wrench, hammer/mallet, and pencil.
Helpers Needed: At least two people are required to perform these upgrade instructions.
Parts Supplied: Lateral Arm and Arm Clamp Assembly (Left & Right side, 1 ea.), Front Bar Connectors (2 ea.),
Arm Clamp Retaining Pin (2 ea.), Plastic Retaining Pin Cover (2 ea.), Arm Clamp Side Covers (2 ea.), Plastic
Safety Sleeves (2 ea), TouchUp Paint, Double-sided Tape Strip (for Wireless Wind Sensor), Double-sided Tape
Roll (for LED Light Strips), LED Installation Kit (includes clips, screws and drill bit).
1. Fully close the Awning against the house. Use the Manual Crank Wand to roll up the Fabric tightly, so the
Lateral Arms are closed far enough to slide on the Plastic Safety Sleeves in Step 4.
2. If Motorized, place the Wall Switch or Remote Transmitter in the neutral/stop position. For the Remote
Transmitter, press the "my" button to put the Awning Motor into the stop position.
3. If Motorized, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
4. Slide the supplied Safety Sleeves onto both Lateral Arms, sliding them as far as possible toward the
existing Arm Clamps. See Figure 1.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FULLY INSTALL THE SAFETY SLEEVES CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY!
Figure 1
5. Use the Manual Crank Wand to unroll the Roller
Bar approximately one turn, so the fabric begins to
hang loosely between the Roller Bar and Front Bar.
See Figure 2.
Note: The Plastic Safety Sleeves will keep the
Lateral Arms fully closed. This will allow the Fabric
to sag, taking pressure off the Front Bar, making it
easier to disassemble the Awning.
6. Using a #2 Phillips Screwdriver, remove the two
Phillips Screws from each Front Bar End Plate.
Place the screws and End Plates in a safe, clean
location. See Figure 3.
