Service and Replacement
Support Arm Assembly Replacement
Resources Required
• 1-3 people (depending on task)
• Cordless or Electric Drill or Screw Gun
• Appropriate Drive Bits
• Zip Ties
Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.
1. Run awning out to almost full extension in order to allow access to the fasteners that secure support
arm assembly to the wall of the unit.
2. Remove the bottom 2 and middle 2 fasteners from the support arm assembly (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).
3. Disconnect the wires in the support arm assembly from the wires in the unit.
NOTE: If the unit is equipped with:
A. LED in the awning roll tube: The LED wires will be in the idler side support arm assembly, and the
motor wires will be in the drive side support arm assembly.
B. Wall mounted LED or fabric LED: All wires will be in the drive side support arm assembly.
C. Speakers in the drive/idler head: The wires will be in both support arm assemblies.
4. Use a cordless battery from a screw gun to retract the outer arm to within 12 " of being closed:
A. Take the red and white wires from the motor and connect them to the positive and negative posts
on a cordless screw gun battery.
B. If the awning does not extend/retract in the correct direction, reverse the wires.
5. Secure both support arm assemblies by securing a zip tie around the outer arm and around the pin on
the top of the mount arm where the mount arm and inner arm connect (Fig. 4).
6. Remove the drive head or idler head assembly retaining bolt from
the outer arm.
7. Support the roll tube and remove the head assembly from the
outer arm on the side being replaced.
8. Remove the fasteners (2 or 4) from the angle bracket at the
top of the support arm assembly. These are the last of the
fasteners holding the assembly to the unit (Fig 5).
