9. Lift the support arm assembly up and secure by setting the awning assembly to the desired height and
attaching it to the side of the unit with two (2) #14 x 1
¼
” screws at the top (Fig. 5) and two (2) #14 x 1
¼
”
screws at the bottom (Fig. 6).
NOTE: Best practice for setting the awning height is to push the top of the support arm assemblies up to
be flush with the bottom of the awning rail. The awning height can be adjusted lower if desired, but
ensure that the distance from the awning rail to the top of the support arm assemblies is consistent
at both ends of the awning.
NOTE: Make sure the awning assembly is square on the unit prior to mounting the bottom 2 screws.
NOTE: Four rivets with
⁄
" grip range can be used in place of the two middle and two lower screws on laminated
walls.
10. Cut the zip ties and connect the wires from the drive head assembly to a power source and run the awning
half way out. Remove the wire cover to expose the fastening points. Install the remaining two (2) #14 x 1
¼
”
screws at any of the three locations shown (Fig. 7) in the center of the support arm. Repeat this process for the
other side of the awning assembly.

Securing the Fabric
1. Extend and retract the awning several times to ensure that the fabric is square on the roll tube.
