NOTE: The awning can be retracted without resetting
the pitch.
NOTE: Belleville washers and bolts (Fig.18A) 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.18A) 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.19A) 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 ⁄" socket and cordless or electric drill or screw
gun, spin the manual override nut counterclockwise to
retract the awning (Fig.20).

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.19A).
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, make 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.
