1. When in carport position, remove stakes from the
ground and unwrap pull strap. Grasp the upper arm
with both hands, and raise lift handle to release lock
button. Lower arms to their shortest position against
the stops. See FIG. 10.
2. Make sure the lock lever on the awning right hand
torsion is in the roll down position.
3. Snap the patio foot into the bottom mounting bracket
on the coach side wall. Repeat on opposite side.
See FIG. 11.
4. Loosen knob and unhook the rafter end from the tor-
sion top casting.
a. If using Short Universal Hardware, telescope the in-
nermost channel into the middle channel by pressing
down on the spring button and pushing the channel
inward. Make sure that the innermost and middle
channels will telescope freely into the outermost
channel before attempting to roll up the awning.
5. For Sunchaser models, swing rafters back against
side wall resting on top of the patio foot in the arm
assembly. See FIG. 12. Repeat for opposite side.
For Universal models do the same thing on the side
without the water dump feature. However, on the wa-
ter dump feature install the end of the rafter on the
pin at the top of the gas spring. See FIG.12a.
6. Grasp pull strap in left hand and move towards the
center of the roller tube. Hook the pull rod in the pull
strap loop.
Important: Do not release pull strap. Awning is under
spring tension and it could roll up unexpectedly and
quickly against the vehicle side.
7. While holding the pull strap, push the lock lever on
the right awning cap to the roll up position. See FIG.
13.
8. Control the speed of the awning and allow it to roll
up, while moving the pull strap diagonally to the left
or right to prevent it from bunching up.
9. Squeeze the rafter into the main arm until a click is
heard. This will indicate it is locked in place. Tighten
knobs on both sides to secure in place.
