AWNING INSTALLATION
1. On the awning rail, mark the position of the centerlines of the support arm assemblies. Ensure that the support
arm assemblies will not interfere with any lights, vents or other obstructions.
2. Using a non-permanent method of marking, mark a perpendicular line from the awning rail down to the floor
line. This is the centerline of the support arm assembly.
Floor Line
Awning Width is from the Center Line to Center Line

3. Lift the support arm assembly up and secure by
setting the awning assembly to the desired
height and attaching it to the side of the unit
with two (2) #14 x 1 1/4” screws at the top and
two (2) #14 x 1 1/4” screws at the bottom.
NOTE: Best practice for setting the awning
height is to push the top of the support arm
assemblies up to be flush with the bottom of
the awning rail. The awning height can be
adjusted lower if desired, but ensure that the
distance from the awning rail to the top of the
support arm assemblies is consistent at both
ends of the awning.

4. Cut the zip ties and connect the wires
from the drive head assembly to a power
source and run the awning half way out.
Remove the wire cover to expose the
fastening points. Install the remaining
two (2) #14 x 1 1/4” screws at any of
the three locations shown in the center
of the support arm. Repeat this process
for the other side of the awning
assembly.
NOTE: Four rivets with 3/16” grip range
can be used in place of the 2 middle
and 2 lower screws on laminated walls.
5. Seal all fastener locations and wire
penetrations to protect against water
intrusion.
6. Reinstall all wire covers into the support
arm assemblies.

AWNING INSTALLATION
7. Insert the drive head assembly shaft into end cap. Align the holes
and secure with waxed screw and repeat for idler head.
8. To protect the fabric from damage during installation, file any
sharp edges or burrs from the awning rail channel.
9. Use silicone lubricant and spray the inside of the awning rail
channel.
10. Remove the tape from the fabric. Unroll a small portion of fabric.
NOTE: The next steps will require three people: One to feed the
polycord into the awning rail channel; two to walk the support arm
assemblies along the awning rail while the fabric slides into
position.
11. Use a screwdriver to spread open end of awning rail channel.
Slide the polycord into the awning rail channel and walk the
support arm assemblies and fabric down the awning rail channel
until the support arm assemblies are in line with the centerline
marks made previously.
12. Extend and retract the awning several times to ensure that the
fabric is square on the roll tube.
13. Secure the fabric in the awning rail no more than 1” inside the
edge of the fabric on both ends using a #6 x 1/2” hex head
screw. Install the screw down through the awning rail into the
fabric and the polycord.
Keep the head of
the wax screw 1/8”
from fastened to
avoid compromising
the integrity of the
screw

MAINTENANCE
If the awning is retracted while wet, extend the awning and let
it dry as soon as conditions allow before retracting. This will
help prevent the formation of mildew and add greatly to the
life of the awning.
NOTE: Fibernew fabric repair kit – Fibernew.com
NOTE: 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 five gallons of warm water.
1. Liberally apply the mixture on the top of the fabric and
retract the awning for five minutes. This will apply the
mixture to the bottom of the fabric as well.
2. Extend the awning and hose off with fresh water.
3. Repeat if necessary.
4. Allow to dry before retracting
