PITCH ADJUSTMENT To adjust the pitch, extend your awning to its “out” limit. Please note that the unit is fully extended BEFORE the arms lock out and the fabric begins to sag. When the unit is fully extended properly you will notice a ¼” or so gap between the two arm castings at the arm elbows (where the arm cables are located).
CARE & MAINTENANCE Fabric Care & Cleaning: The fabric of your awning is made from 100% solution dyed acrylic. Solution dying is the process of adding color to the acrylic while in a liquid state before spinning the yarn. By following a few simple steps, the fabric will maintain its look and perfor- mance for years to come.
