Instructions
The following instructions apply to the drive and idler heads with speakers.
Removal
1. Extend the awning about 12" away from the unit.
Fig. 2
Failure to secure the outer arms may result in personal injury, product or property damage.
Pressure from the gas strut can cause the outer arm to kick open, which could cause injury, product
or property damage.
2. Secure both support arm assemblies by running a zip tie around the outer arm and around the pin on
the top of the mount arm where the mount arm and inner arm connect (Fig. 2).
3. Use a putty stick or similar tool to slide in between the grill cover and main body of the head cover.
Start in one corner and work your way around the grill cover (Fig. 3) until all four sides have been
released. Set aside for later use.
NOTE: Grill cover attaches with plastic tabs.

4. With the grill cover (Fig. 3) removed, remove the rubber foam gasket from the top of the speaker (Fig. 4).
5. There is a small tab (Fig. 4) in each corner of the open cavity that the actual speaker sets in. Remove
the speaker and determine if there is enough slack in the wires to pull the speaker out far enough
to disconnect it from the main harness. If there is enough slack, remove the speaker and go to the
Installation section. If unable to disconnect the speaker wires from the main harness go to step 6.

Installation
1. Install the new speaker into the speaker bed routing the wires back through the bottom hole in the
speaker bed.
2. Reconnect the speaker wires to the main harness.
3. Place the foam gasket over the speaker.
4. Snap the previously-removed speaker grill cover back in place.
5. Reinstall the front cover to the rear cover and secure with screws.
When cutting the zip tie, hold the outer arm so it doesn't kick open. Pressure from the gas strut can cause
the outer arm to kick open, which could cause personal injury or product damage.
6. Remove the zip tie holding the arm in place.
7. Fully retract and extend awning to ensure proper drive head and motor installation and operation.
