7. Working together, apply the roll tube and fabric to the awning rail and support arm assemblies,
making sure the awning will unroll with the printed side of the fabric up.
Failure to support the roll tube, fabric and drive/idler head assembly during installation may result in
serious injury or property damage.
8. Working together, support the roll tube assembly and install the wax screws to each side to secure the
roll tube end caps to the head assemblies.
9. Extend and retract the awning several times to ensure that the fabric is square on the roll tube.
10. Secure the fabric in the awning rail 1" inside the edge of the fabric on both ends using a #6 x 1/2” hex
head screw. Install the screw down through the awning rail into the fabric and the polycord.
11. Reinstall the drip cap if previously equipped.
NOTE: If awning is equipped with a LED light strip, plug the LED light strip back into the idler head
assembly.
Fabric Care
If the awning is retracted while wet, extend the awning and let it dry as soon as conditions allow before retracting.
This will help prevent the formation of mildew and add greatly to the life of the awning. Mildew does not form on
the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt and grime.
NOTE: Periodically clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a mixture of
¼
cup of dish soap and 5 gallons
of warm water. Liberally apply the mixture on the top of the fabric and retract the awning for 5
minutes. This will apply the mixture to the bottom of the fabric as well. Extend the awning and hose
off with fresh water. Repeat if necessary. Allow to dry before retracting.
