Maintenance
Resources Required
• 5 gallon bucket
• Clean water
• 1/4 cup of dish soap
Fabric Care
Over-spray of cleaning solution can cause eye and sensitive skin irritation. Flush aected area
with clean water and seek medical attention, if necessary. Wear eye protection and appropriate
protective clothing to avoid personal injury.
Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.
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.
NOTE: Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt and grime. Periodically
clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a mixture of 1/4 cup of dish soap and five gallons of
warm water.
1. Liberally apply the mixture on the top of the fabric and retract the awning for five minutes. This will
apply the mixture to the bottom of the fabric as well.
2. Extend the awning and hose off with fresh water.
3. Repeat if necessary.
4. Allow to dry before retracting.
Troubleshooting Adjusting Pitch - All Solera Awnings
NOTE: If the articulating arm does not hold position, it can be tightened by adjusting the bolt (Fig. 16A) in
the center of the articulating arm.
NOTE: When tightening the bolt do not tighten more than 1/4 turn at a time and do not tighten to the
point of crushing the pitch arm.
NOTE: Existing Belleville washers and bolt are installed in a specific orientation for tensioning. Removal of
these components or modification of the orientation will cause adverse effects on the pitch
arm functionality.
