(For Aftermarket Applications)
Drilling the Roller Tube
1. With the awning fully extended,
measure the distance calculated
using the chart on the previous page
from the edge of the awning fabric.
(Fig.1). Mark the roller tube at that
predetermined distance and 1/2”
down from the fabric seam. (Fig.2).
This is where the rst Awnbrella
arm will later be installed. Continue
to make all measurements and
markings along the roller tube for
placement of the remaining arms.
Verify the correct spacing before
proceeding to the next step.
2. Using a metal punch, indent the
marks just made to create a dimple
to center the drill bit and keep it from
wandering (Fig.3).
3. Drill through the roller tube using a
7/16" bit (Fig.4).
4. Use a 1/4" round le to remove
any sharp burrs around the edges of
the holes (Fig.5).
NOTE: It is important that all the
holes drilled on the roller tube are
aligned at 1/2" down from the fabric
retaining seam.
