The hardware arm assemblies are pressur-
ized and will spring open. Do not remove
the nylon ties until instructed to do so. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions could cause
serious personal injury or property damage.
2. With the hardware arm assembly secured in
the partially open position, simultaneously
slide the top extrusion into the front rail and
the hardware hook into the case (See FIG.
4). The outer edge of the hardware should be
flush with the edge of the case. Repeat with
the opposite end. Hardware arms should be
symmetrical with respect to the centerline of
the case (See FIG. 1).
3. Cut and remove the second set of ties. You
will secure the case and hardware with screws
(or Oscar rivets) to the coach wall in Section
E. You are now ready for the electrical con-
nection and wired remote switch installation.

1. Once the awning case and hardware have been
centered over the window, make a 5/16" hole
through the coach wall half an inch to the right of
the case. The hole must be approximately cen-
tered with the roller tube bracket (See FIG. 5).
This hole will be used to route power wires to the
awning motor in the next steps.
2. Choose a location for the wired remote switch
next to the window inside the vehicle. Location
must be such as to avoid accidental actuation
of the switch by cabinet doors, furniture, slide
rooms, etc.
IMPORTANT: switch plus flag connectors require a
minimum wall thickness of 1 ¾". Spacer bezels (in-
staller supplied) may be used if wall thickness is less
than 1 ¾".

Unprotected circuit could create a fire haz-
ard. This circuit must be protected with a
15 amp fuse. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions could cause death or serious personal
injury.
Important:
protect wires from chafing. All splices should be insu-
lated. Secure any excess wire to prevent damage.

3. Your awning switch may come with a separate
bezel and decal, but you can choose to install it
by itself. If inside paneling is already installed,
make a rectangular hole 0.830" wide by 1.450"
tall (for installation without bezel) or 1.000" wide
by 1.750" tall (for installation with bezel) at cho-
sen switch location. You will be able to snap the
switch into place once installation is complete, or
snap the decal and bezel into the switch and se-
cure to the wall panel with screws.
4. Run electric wires from the awning motor to the
switch location inside the vehicle through the
5/16" hole made in step 1 and down the inside of
the coach wall. The 6ft long power cable attached
to the motor should be long enough for most ap-
plications. If additional length is needed, or if the
connection is to be made outside the coach wall
due to previous electrical preparation, you may
trim power cable and splice additional length of
wire as needed. To avoid voltage drop between
awning and switch, follow the wire length guide
listed below:
Wire Length
10' & Under
11' to 30'
Over 30'
5. Connect the power cable from the awning motor
to the wired remote switch using ¼" flag connec-
tors (installer supplied). See FIG. 6 for proper pin
designations.
6. Run two wires from the wired remote switch to the
12VDC supply source. It is recommended that
these wires be (Red+ and Black-) 12 gage wires.
This should be on a separate 15amp fused cir-
cuit. Connect the Red and Black wires from the
power source to the switch using ¼" flag connec-
tors (installer supplied) as per FIG. 6.
Always seal where wires enter coach and
