Manual Awning Fabric Replacement
Removal
1. Remove the drip cap (if equipped) from the end the fabric will be removed from.
2. Extend the awning out approximately 12" and insert cotter pins through both end caps into the shafts
on the head assemblies (Fig. 1).
NOTE: If the awning is 6' in length it will only need one cotter pin for the drive side end cap.
3. Secure both support arm assemblies by running 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. 2).
Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.

If not properly secured, the support arms can kick out due to pressure from the gas strut,
which may result in serious injury or property damage.
4. Remove the screws holding the polycord in place on the awning rail.
5. Remove the drive head assembly and idler head assembly retaining bolts from the outer arms to
separate the components.
6. Working together, remove the roll tube assembly (which includes the drive/idler head assemblies) from
the awning rail and support arms by sliding the assembly along the awning rail until clear.
Failure to support the roll tube, fabric and drive/idler head assemblies during removal
may result in serious injury or property damage.
