1. Make sure the torsion spring has been relieved of its
tension (see Section C.)
2. Mark or make note of the location of the fabric and the
end cap on the roller tube. This is necessary to
reposition the new torsion, fabric or roller tube exactly
the same when the new part is installed.
3. Remove the two screws holding the torsion assembly
to the roller tube. If secured by pop rivets, drill out the
two rivets using a 3/16" drill bit. Remove assembly from
roller tube. See FIG. 5.

torsion removal.
2. Roll the awning completely out on a clean smooth
surface.
3. With the awning laying flat, slide the roller tube out from

NOTE: When removing the fabric from the 9000 and 9500
Model awning, it is necessary to remove the 1/8" pop rivets
from both ends of the roller cover. Once the rivets are
removed, you can slide the fabric out of the cover. See FIG.

NOTE: When changing the fabric, it is vital that the same
groove(s) be used. This eliminates the need to redrill any
holes (i.e. center support).
3. Center the fabric on the roller tube and hand-roll the
entire assembly in the same direction as the original
fabric.
