Rev: 08.30.22 Page 46 CCD-0006500
Manual Override
If the power bimini top will not retract into the radar or fully retracted position, a manual override of the
power bimini top must be done before putting the pontoon underway. Perform a manual override of the
power bimini top as follows:
1. If the front shade extension is deployed, disconnect the front shade extension stanchions and tie-
down straps. Store the complete front shade extension in the top's front zippered storage pocket.
2. If the adjustable front support straps are deployed, disconnect them from the forward fence rail
saddles and then either attach the loose spring clips to the front frames' bottom saddle or completely
disconnect the straps from the front frame and store them in the top's front, zippered storage pocket.
3. Unzip the front pocket of the bimini canvas.
A. If available, have a second person push forward on the rear frame to relieve some pressure off of
the canvas.
B. Then have the person hold up the rear and middle frames while the canvas is unzipped.
4. Collapse the rear and middle frame and fabric top in the down position (Fig. 50).

5. Retrieve the provided 5/32" hex wrench for removing the four 1/4" hex cap screws from the front
frametwo screws each side.
A. If the quick connect (QC) touch-sensitive controller is NOT installed, there will be a hex wrench
(Fig. 51A) located behind each actuator's end cap(Fig. 51B).
B. If the QC touch-sensitive controller IS installed, a hex wrench (Fig. 52A) will be located inside the
front zippered storagepocket (Fig. 52B) of the top.
6. Using the hex wrench, remove the four cap screws from the front frame (Fig. 53A).
