A&E WeatherPro Helpful Hints:
• Whenever the awning is wet while rolled up,
as soon as conditions allow, roll it out and
let it dry before rolling it up again. This will
help prevent the formation of mildew and
add greatly to the life of the awning.
• 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 1/4 cup of bleach mixed with 5
gallons of warm water. Liberally slosh the
mixture on the top of the fabric and roll the
awning up for 5 minutes. This will apply the
mixture to the bottom as well. Roll it back
out and hose off with fresh water. Repeat if
necessary. Allow to dry before rolling up.
• Always make sure the awning is fully ex-
tended before opening the entry door.

Rear Arm
Your A & E awning is designed to shed
water if left out in the rain. The rear arm
will automatically decrease the awning
height approximately 9 inches when it
is raining. When there is no longer the
need to shed water it will return to the
normal height. See FIG. 2A.
The A&E Two Step awning is
extremely durable and can
be operated during moder-
ate rain and wind conditions.
However, when periods of
heavy rain and/or wind is ex-
pected the awning should be
closed and in the locked posi-
tion. Damage caused by wind
and rain is not covered by
warranty.
Unlock the travel lock located mid way
up each arm assembly. Lift up on the
travel lock assembly to unlock.
