NOTE: These screws should be located no more than ¾” from the edge of the
fabric. If necessary, re-drill the fabric set screw holes using a 1/8” drill bit to
maintain this distance.
7. Reinstall both the lead rail and main housing end caps.
8. After the fabric replacement it may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the
motor limit switches. The awning motor needs to stop the exact moment when the
awning box is fully closed. Likewise, it is important that the awning motor stops just
before the arms become fully locked in the extended position. (The fabric will be taut,
the elbows slightly bent exposing about 1/8’ of gap.) Please refer to the “ADJUSTING
MOTOR LIMIT SWITCHES” section of this manual.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE HIGH-TORQUE MOTOR SUPPLID WITH THE NOVA
Awning IS DESIGNED TO RUN FOR ONLY FOUR(4) MINUTES PER HOUR. THE
MOTOR HAS A BUILT-IN CIRCUIT BREAKER WHICH IS DESIGNED TO ACTIVATE
IF THE MOTOR OVERHEATS. COOL DOWN TIME CAN BE UP TO AN HOUR
DEPENDING ON THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE.
ARM REPLACEMENT
Follow this procedure when a damaged, spring loaded arm needs to be replaced.
There are no repairable parts inside of the arm, if the elbow joint has broken the
entire arm must be replaced.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
19mm (3/4”) open-end wrench
17mm (11/16”) open-end wrench
5mm (3/16”) allen wrench
EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN WORKING WITH THESE ARMS.
ARMS ARE ALWAYS UNDER HEAVY SPRING TENSION. WHEN SHIPPED AS
REPLACEMENT PARTS THEY ARE BANDED. (Figure 18) THE ARMS MUST
BE HANDLED WHEN FOLDED UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO BE FASTENED
TO THE LEAD RAIL.
