Place the Control Lever into the unlocked (straight
down) position.
There are three points where the Crosswing will lock into
place (located at 3’, 4’11”, and 6’6”). You will hear two
clicks sounding together at each point. These clicks are
the spring pins locking the awning into place. The awning
cannot be left open at any other location.
Note: The locking buttons engage when the awning is being pulled open
but are automatically disengaged when traveling in the reverse direction.
Refer to closing instructions if you travel past your desired locking position.
Pull the control lever up to tighten the fabric. You
will hear the ratchet mechanism click.
Note: The control lever will automatically return to the locked
position. If you press the lever beyond this position, the tension
will be released. The fabric will loosen and the tightening process
will have to start over.
Release Safety strap snaps. Pull the Crosswing
open evenly by each safety strap. Do not let go of
straps until awning is securely locked in position.
WARNING: Pinch hazard, be careful not to place body parts in path of moving parts.

Place the Control Lever into the unlocked (straight
down) position.
Grab the two safety straps/pull loops. Pull the awning
out 2”-3”, which will disengage the spring pins.
Note: Do not let go of the awning safety straps until fully closed.
Without releasing the pull loops, slowly guide the awning
straight back to it’s closed position. The internal spring will
assist the awning in winding itself up.
Note: If fabric retracts unevenly onto the reel and gets stuck, pull open and
repeat the previous steps, ensuring the frame stays even during closing.
When the awning is fully closed,
click the Safety Straps back onto
their snap fasteners. Return the
Control Lever to the locked position,
the ratcheting feature can be used if
the fabric is loose on the reel.

misplace the Tension Adjust Cover and screws.
Using a ⅝” socket and wrench,
turn the Tension Adjust hex
clockwise (the hex will pull itself
inward before spinning freely).
Make 4-5 turns clockwise. Allow the socket wrench to slowly
rotate counterclockwise, do not push inwards (the Tension
Adjust hex will push back out and sit into its resting position).

Adjusting the
Crosswing’s Tension
WARNING: High spring tension, do not allow socket wrench or tension adjust hex to spin freely once engaged.

Using a 5/8" socket and wrench, turn the Tension Adjust
hex 90 degrees clockwise. The Hex will pull itself inward
and then spin freely.
Push inward on the socket so that the tension adjust hex does not
push out and lock, allow the socket wrench to slowly spin
counterclockwise. (If the tension adjust hex locks and stops
turning repeat from step 3 on Page 9 ensuring that you are
maintaining inward pressure on the socket).
Once the socket wrench has made 4-5 counterclockwise turns, stop
pushing inward on the socket wrench and slowly allow the wrench
to turn counterclockwise (the Tension Adjust hex will push back out
and sit into its resting position).
Once the wrench ceases to spin counterclockwise on its own you
can remove the wrench.
Test the new spring tension by closing and opening the Crosswing.
If less tension is desired, repeat from step 3.
Replace Tension Adjust Cover and screws.
To decrease tension.
