G-2000/g-1500 ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR
F. final Adjustments
Adjusting motor limit switches
Tools required
• Black plastic key provided with awning, or 4mm (5/32") Allen wrench
Procedure
The limit switches are adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. The awning motor is set to stop
at the exact moment the awning box closes. (If using an ACL current-limiting device, you will
have to turn the IN limit three plus (+) revolutions past the awning’s closing point. This only
applies to the IN limit.) The awning motor is also set to stop at the exact moment that, while
opening, the arms lock into the extended position.
Always check the motor rotational limits after installation to assure that the awning opens and
closes correctly. Additionally, awning fabric can stretch, requiring simple adjustments.
Very important: Extreme care must be taken when setting the IN limits of the motor to ensure
that the motor turns off at exactly the same time as the awning box closes; if not, the motor will
continue to run as it has not reached its limit. This condition, if not corrected, will substantially
reduce motor life. Turn the awning switch OFF when awning is fully retracted. (This applies
only to coaches older than 2000 models, unless they are compatible.)
If adjustments are required, please follow these instructions:
1. The DMI (manual override) motor has limit settings for both OUT (extension) and IN
(retraction).
