  • Page 27 Elbow Height and Adjusting Pitch NOTE: Adjustment of the Elbow height and pitch, will affect the height of the awning lead rail when it is fully deployed. This adjustment is usually required after an arm replacement. Also, if the elbow of the arm hits the bottom of the casing as the lead rail closes.
  • Page 28 Adjusting Pitch Do not over tighten the adjustment nut, as this will result in damage to the awning. Lifting up on the arm slightly to relieve pressure may be necessary. 1. Extend the awning to its fully-extended length. 2. Locate screw A, adjustment nut located on front side of the shoulder assembly (Fig. 27, 28). 3.
  • Page 29 Testing the Motion Sensor (Wind Sensor) 1. Partially extend the awning (at least 3 feet). 2. Physically activate the motion sensor by shaking the awning lead rail. 3. At this point the awning should retract; if not, check that there is a 12VDC supply to the motion sensor and that the motion sensor is correctly programmed.
