To Retract the Patio Awning:
1. Loosen the strap from the awning leg if it has been stored there.
2. Support the weight of the awning with one hand while opening the
extension lock handle and lower the awning until the arms rest on the
lower stop bolt. Loosen the two black locking knobs enough to allow
the support brace to travel freely.
3. If equipped with Canopy Clamps, remove and store the clamps at this
time.
4. Release the locking tab on the end cap of the awning leg and slide the
inner support brace to down the awning leg to the stop bolt. Repeat for
opposite side.
5. While pulling down slightly on the pull strap, slide the brake control
down located on the front awning leg.
6. Keeping downward pressure applied, slide the pull strap to the center
of the awning while holding on to the strap.
7. Place the hook end of awning rod into pull strap loop to assist in
retracting the awning. Make sure pull wand does not slip out of pull
strap loop. Allow the awning to roll up to the stored position.
8. Store the awning rod until it is needed again.
9. Verify that the brake control is in the locked or closed position. Snap
the arm storage locks into the down position and tighten black locking
knobs.
Rain Release Setting:
After the awning has been extended, choose the rain release position to prevent
water build up on the awning. To position the awning in the rain release setting,
lower one arm of the awning and leave the other arm in the normal position. This
will create enough of a slope for adequate water run off.
NOTE: Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon. The awning was
not made to withstand the 500 to 700 pounds that could accu-
mulate. It is best not to subject the awning and the motorhome
to the needless strain.
