Adjustments
Shoulder Pitch Adjustment: The pitch adjustment bolt is located on
the front of the shoulder. This awning shoulder does not require any
loosening of bolts to adjust the pitch of the shoulders. Using a 6mm Allen
wrench or socket, simply turn the pitch adjustment bolt. You may adjust
the pitch of the awning without assistance if open less than three feet. To
adjust the pitch when fully open, have an assistant lift up on the front bar
to relieve the pressure before turning the adjustment bolt.
To RAISE the pitch, turn
the pitch adjustment bolt
counter-clockwise.
To LOWER the pitch, turn
the pitch adjustment bolt
clockwise (Fig. 5A).

TROUBLESHOOTING / RESETTING THE LIMITS:
Awnings equipped with a motor are preset at the factory but in the event they need to be adjusted or reset please follow these instructions or call customer service
for assistance. These instructions are for the default motor used on this awning series; however there are other motors that may be used or substituted as ordered or
required. If you are not sure which motor is in the awning, please call Customer Service at (800) 858-5818 before attempting to make any adjustments.
To add an additional transmitter/channel or sensor:
Press the programming button on the back of the already programmed transmitter until the motor jogs. Then press the programming button on the additional
transmitter or sensor that you would like to add until the motor jogs. Test the new transmitter or added sensor.
Somfy® Sunea® motor limit setting/adjustment – Non-Cassette Awning: Limits on the Sunea motor are set and adjusted with the remote transmitter (Fig. 5C), not on the
motor head.
To change the EXTENDED/OPEN limit:
Open the awning to its current lower limit position and let it stop. Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously (Fig. 5D) until the motor jogs, then
release. Use the UP/DOWN button to adjust to a new lower limit position. Press the MY/STOP button (Fig. 5E) until the motor jogs, then release. Check new limit.
To change the RETRACTED/CLOSED limit:
The upper limit is set automatically based on the awning front bar closing force. If the cassette does not fully close, check to make sure there is nothing interfering with
the front bar by manually closing the awning with the manual override shaft on the motor. If it closes smoothly by hand, then call Customer Service at (800) 858-5818
for additional guidance on fully resetting the motor.
If motor is not responding to the transmitter (these steps do not affect the motor limits):
• Verify the outlet has power by plugging in a lamp and making sure the GFCI is not tripped.
• Verify the red light on the transmitter lights when any button is pressed.
• If both items above are verified with no response from the motor, then a power cut reset may work:
Start with the motor plugged into the outlet: STEP 1: Unplug for 5 seconds
STEP 2: Plug in for 10 seconds
STEP 3: Unplug for 5 seconds
Plug back in – The motor should jog or run for a few seconds. This puts the motor in programming mode. If no response occurs, please call Customer Service at (800)
858-5818 for additional guidance. If the motor jogged, press the UP or DOWN button to see if the motor moves. If the motor runs, you should be all set. If the motor
does not run, please call Customer Service at (800) 858-5818 for additional guidance.

and installation may require an adjustment if the elbow(s) hit the top
or bottom of the front bar cavity when closing. Open the awning about
6". Loosen the large locking nut on the bottom of the arm shoulder
attachment bolt with a 19mm wrench (Fig. 5B).

in the top of the bolt. Lift
