Adjusting Pitch - All Solera Awnings
NOTE: The awning will pitch itself to purge the pooling of excess water and may dump a significant
amount of water without notice.
1. Pitch can be set by adjusting the articulating arm to tip one side of the awning to allow water runoff.
2. Extend the awning to desired position.
3. Choose the side of the awning for optimum shade or convenient water runoff. Pull downward on the
joint of the pitch arm until desired pitch is set (Fig. 11). Belleville washers and bolt (Fig. 12A) allow for
the joint to remain in the position set by the operator.
NOTE: Do not push the joints of the articulating arms up past a straight line (Fig. 13A). This will put tension
on the gas strut, which can cause the strut to break.
NOTE: The awning can be retracted without resetting the pitch.
A
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.
