NOTE: The awning can be retracted without resetting
the pitch.
NOTE: Belleville washers and bolts (Fig.17A) allow the joint
to remain in the position set by the operator. If the pitch
arm does not hold position, it can be tightened by adjusting
the bolt (Fig.17A) in the center of the pitch arm.
Troubleshooting
Manual Override
In the event of power loss or motor failure, the awning can
be extended and retracted manually. Perform the following
procedure to manually retract the awning.
NOTE: This procedure may also be performed to extend
or retract the awning in the event of dry camping or
camping without a battery.
1. Remove the rubber grommet (Fig.18A) from the drive
head assembly, exposing the manual override nut on
the motor.

NOTE: The drive head assembly is always located on
the right side of the awning as it is viewed from outside
of the unit.
2. Using a 7/16" socket and cordless or electric
drill or screw gun, spin the manual override nut
counterclockwise to retract the awning (Fig.19).

NOTE: Use caution when retracting the awning manually.
The use of a step stool or ladder may be required to
completely retract the awning.
3. When the awning is completely retracted, replace the
rubber grommet in the drive head assembly (Fig.18A).
NOTE: The motor’s internal drive system prevents the
awning from moving (extend or retract) on its own. If the
motor is damaged or disabled, be sure to secure the
awning in the retracted position with a strap around both
the outer arm and the mount arm before the manual
override nut is released.
During incidents of high wind, heavy rain or
extended time away from the unit, it is advisable to
retract the awning completely to prevent damage
to the awning and the unit.
