OTE: Install the brackets according to the
bracket design. To correctly support the awning,
the brackets must be positioned below the arm
case knuckles. After the brackets are installed,
go to "Mounting the Awning".
MOUNTING THE AWNING
These steps apply to all bracket configurations.
1. If not previously done, in the rear track of the mounting plate(s),
start three (3) M6 x 20 screws and square nuts through the
holes. Do not tighten at this time.
NOTE: Locate 1 screw and nut at each end of the awning, the third
screw and nut should be located near the center of the awning.
2. Lift and set the awning into the hooks of the mounting brackets.
Pull the case forward to engage the brackets fully.
3. Horizontally center the awning on the brackets.
4. Tighten the rear screws. Torque to 10 ft-lbs [13.6 nm].
5. The motor and switch wires come out of the back of motor endcap.
Drill a 5/16" [8mm] hole into the vehicle in the area shown.
NOTE: Locate the hole to avoid interior framing, cabinets and
electrical components.
Ensure that the motor wires are accessible after routing.
Jumping the Motor (with BT12)
This method is used if the BT12 Wireless Awning Control System is to be used.
1. Temporarily connect the ends of the motor wires to a 12V-14V source (i.e. drill battery). If the awning
does not begin to move, reverse the leads.
2. Remove the battery after the awning is open.
