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. 3). Belleville washers and bolt (Fig. 5A) 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. 4). 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.
NOTE: If the articulating arm does not hold position, it can be tightened by adjusting the bolt (Fig. 5A) in
the center of the articulating arm.
NOTE: When tightening the bolt do not tighten more than
¼
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.
