Locate the mark that was made for the left arm in step 6. Thread the cord thru
the left sides’ end cap pulley leaving that mark on the side that is furthest from
you. Make a square knot as close as possible to the location of the mark. Take a
pin and place the knot in the right hand location with the slot facing away from
you. Make sure the knot fits into the hole on the pin tightly. Thread the center
pin onto the cord for the center arm, no knot is necessary for the center pin. Feed
the center pin and the left arms’ pin into the left side of the crossbar and attach
the left end cap.
10.
Locate the mark that was made for the right arms’ pin. Once again tie a square
knot as close to the mark as possible. Thread the cord thru the right end caps’
pulley and then place the pin on the cord with the knot on the left hand location
with the slot facing towards you. Feed the left arms’ pin into the crossbar and
attach the right end cap.
11.
Both ends of the cord should be on the side closest to you. On the right end of
the cord leave a 2-3” loop and tie it off with a double knot. Thread the left sides’
end thru the loop, create a decent tension on the cord. Create a 1” loop on the
left side and tie the bottom of the loop off with a double knot.
12.
Cut off the excess string behind the knots, add a dab of glue or a substance to
close the cord against fraying.
13.
With two people hold the crossbar up to the arms of the awning and make sure
that both the left arms’ pin and right arms’ pin engage into their holes in the
arm. Once the two outer arms’ pins’ are engaged the center pin should slide
freely and engage the center arm.
14.
Relocate the crossbar into the correct position. Engage the pins into the outer
arms, slide the center pin to engage in the center arm. Fasten the pins into the
arms by replacing the screws that were removed earlier.
