NOTICE After opening the awning set the awning power switch to off to prevent the awning from
retracting when the supports are installed. Retracting the awning with the supports and tie-downs attached
can damage the awning.
NOTICE If it is necessary to adjust the awning pitch after staking, loosen the tension straps and lower the height
of the vertical support before adjusting the pitch. Failure to do so can cause damage to the awning.
CAREFREE’S LATITUDE AND VERTICAL ARM AWNINGS
1. Open the awning and set the desired pitch according to the product documentation.
2. Press the cradle over the pin on the
pole. No tools required. It is not
necessary to remove the cradle for
storage.
3. Place the support pole cradle under
the roller tube between the canopy
and endcap.
4. Loosen the locking knob on the
vertical support. Adjust the height of
the support then tighten the knob.
NOTICE Do not use the
supports to adjust the awning’s
pitch. Use the awning’s pitch
adjustments prior to installing the
supports.
The poles may be adjusted from 56" to
108".
5. Place a stake through the D-ring of
the tension strap. Then drive the
stake into the ground approximately
5'-6' in front of the awning.
6. Loop the strap over the roller tube.
Attach the D-ring to the hook on the
cradle.
