Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.
Make sure the roll tube is adequately supported before removing the support arm assembly. Failure to
do so may result in serious personal injury or property damage.
Always wear eye protection when performing service or maintenance to the coach. Other safety equipment to
consider includes hearing protection, gloves and possibly a full face shield, depending on the nature of the service.

lag screws provided (Fig. 5).
3. Slide the support arm assembly into the head assembly and secure with the screw that was previously
removed (Fig. 6).
4. Ensure the locking lever is still in the roll out position and remove the cotter pin (Fig. 6) from the end
cap and head shaft holes.

Installing the Stop Bolt
1. Retract the awning.
2. Make sure the centerline of the roll tube is level with or slightly higher than the centerline of the
awning rail. The bottom of the roll tube MUST NOT be higher than the awning rail.
3. Adjust support arm if necessary.
A. Open the support arm handle and slide the upper arm up or down as required. Close the handle
and slide the lower channel until the locking pin clicks into the nearest positioning hole (Fig. 7).
4. Mark the position of the stop hole that is directly below the upper channel.
5. From the inside of the channel, insert a 5⁄16” bolt and star washer through the hole. Secure with a 5⁄16”
cap nut using ½” socket and wrench (Fig. 8).
NOTE: It may be necessary to lift the upper channel to tighten the cap nut.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other support arm.
