1.6 STOP PLUG
The stop plug is a mechanical stop that supports the
main arm when opening and closing the awning. It
controls the clearance between the top casting of the
torsion to the extension of the main rafter. This clearance
should be
1/4
inch to 1 inch. To adjust the clearance,
raise or lower the stop plug as needed.

RAFTERS
The rafters telescope from the top mounting brackets to
the main support arms to provide tension on the fabric in
the full open position. If the rafters are bent or twisted,
this will hinder the operation of the awning.
Open the awning and remove the secondary rafter from
the main support arm. Now sight down the main and
secondary rafters and check for any bends, twists or
deflection. If one or the other rafter is not true it should
be replaced.
1.8
BLACK ADJUSTMENT KNOB
The black adjustment knob tightens the secondary rafter
to the main rafter to keep the fabric taut in the full open
position.
When closing the awning, the knob should not be tight-
ened down until after the awning is rolled up and in the
closed position.
Attempting to open the awning without first loosening the
black adjustment knobs can damage the slider of the
secondary rafter, making it difficult to open the awning.
SECTION 2
FABRIC ROLLER TUBE ASSEMBLY (FRTA)
2.1 POSITION
For the awning to operate properly the fabric must be
positioned properly in the awning rail and on the roller
tube.
Open the awning and check the position of the fabric
between the top mounting brackets. If the fabric is not
centered, remove the tek screws, center it, and replace
the screws.

When the fabric is properly positioned, next check the
position of the fabric on the roller tube. The clearance
from the end cap of the torsion assembly to the edge of
the fabric must be the same on each end. If it is not,
adjust the fabric on the tube as necessary.
