SunSetter OASIS Owner's Manual & Assembly Instructions page 2

Congratulations! You have purchased the SunSetter OASIS Freestanding Lateral Arm Awning which will provide
you and your family with many years of enjoyment outdoors.
Before you begin assembly, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Awning and its Owner's Manual.
Please check to ensure all of the parts listed have been included with your Awning and that you have the
correct color Fabric. The SunSetter OASIS comes in two cartons; one with the Awning assembly (large tube)
and one with the Support Hardware (rectangular carton). If you ordered the Cover or Wireless Wind Sensor,
you will find that located with the Awning Assembly. Any additional accessories you may have ordered with
your Awning will be in separate packaging.
Note: Left and Right references are as you are facing the Awning from the Motor or Gear Assembly End.
Assembly of your Awning
Note: It is important to follow this Instruction Manual to attach the Awning to the Support Hardware located
in the rectangular carton. Please read these Instructions completely before assembling and operating your
SunSetter OASIS Awning. We recommend that the Awning should be assembled in the general area that it
will be used. The area of use needs to be flat and level. It should have unobstructed overhead clearance to a
height of approximately 9 feet.
Operation of your Awning
Your SunSetter Awning has the ability to be opened partially or to it's full projection. Both sides of the
SunSetter OASIS will open and close during the operation of the Manual Gear Unit or Motor. Please retain your
Owner's Manual and Assembly Instructions for future reference regarding operation, care and maintenance,
troubleshooting, customer service and warranty information.
Note: The Motorized Awning Will Close Tight Before Opening . . .
When opening the Motorized Awning for the first time, the Motor will begin to open, then quickly reverse
direction closing all the way, then continue to open. This is a standard operation of the Motor after it has
been without power for more than (2) two minutes.
WARNINGS:
