Introduction
The GG750 awning system provides protection from the sun at a touch of a button. The GG750 Solar Awning
is built to specifications with the highest quality materials available, the unit features:
• A 12VDC motor that operates with the Girard Solar Station.
• Motion sensor that will retract the awning to prevent damage from the wind.
• A hand held remote control.
The Solar Station awning controls use an RF (radio frequency) link to communicate with each other. This
simplifies the installation and maintenance by removing the need for any wiring.

enclosure when the awning is opened.
4. The folding arms that supports the lead rail and the fabric.
5. Tubular motor - (2022304366), mounted inside of the roller tube that controls the extension and
retraction of the awning.
Electronic Controls
1. To power and operate the motor.
2. Motion Sensor – 2022304365, which enables automatic retraction of the awning during periods of high
wind that may damage the awning system.

Girard Systems awnings may be operated in light wind and rain conditions. When periods of heavy rain and or
high wind are expected the awning must be closed. Never leave the awning open and unattended.
Damage caused by wind and rain is not covered by warranty.
If applicable, all awnings must be closed prior to moving the vehicle for any reason. As an extra safety
precaution a visual check that every awning is fully closed is required.

Installation Manual
Unpacking
Before starting any of the installation procedures unpack the awning and inspect the product for any
possible damage that may have occurred during shipping.
1. Before starting any of the installation procedures ensure that the length and fabric of the awning are correct.
2. When you have determined the awning position, remove the mounting brackets and place the awning in a
safe location while preparing the mounting surface.
A. To remove the brackets. Locate the slide lock that retains the bracket to the housing, (Fig. 1).
B. Using a 4mm hex wrench, loosen the set screws on the slide locks.
C. Once the set screws have been loosened the slide locks should slide freely. Clear the slide lock
away from the bracket.
D. You should now be able to remove the bracket.
3. If any damage or missing parts are discovered, please contact the supplier.
For personal safety and quality of installation, two installers are recommended for this product.
Layout And Mounting The Brackets
NOTE: Please take into consideration all possible clearances, and obstacles before installing this awning.
Please consult Girard by Lippert if there are any questions regarding the installation.
A. The mounting brackets can accommodate ¼” lag bolts for mounting.
B. Determine the location for the final installation position of the awning, including height to be
installed.
C. Mounting brackets must be installed at the locations shown in bracket placement diagram, (Fig. 2).
NOTE: When installing a three-arm awning, make sure one of the applicable center brackets is directly
behind the shoulder of the middle arm.

Rev: 05.10.2023 Page 6 CCD-0007494
D. To determine bracket mounting locations, use
an electronic stud finder and a non-permanent
pen or pencil.
E. Move the stud finder horizontally along the
height or the awning location, marking the
stud locations and avoiding any electrical
wiring.
F. Using one of the brackets as a guide, mark
the locations on the wall that match the
placement labels on the back of the awning.
NOTE: At least two of the lag screws must be set into
a stud to provide strength and support for the
mounted awning, (Fig. 4). The location of the
stud may not align perfectly with the label. Be
sure to secure the bracket to the closest stud.
Repeat for each label location.
G. For longer awnings, additional brackets can be
mounted to provide extra support. Locate and
mark these bracket locations, evenly spaced
between the main brackets.
H. If the stud is not within 6” of the original bracket location, place an additional bracket on that
location as additional support against torquing and twisting of the case.
NOTE: Depending on the length of the awning, there could be up to 7 brackets utilized.
NOTE: These brackets should also have a minimum of two lag screws fastened into studs, (Fig. 4).

If ladders are being used, be sure the ladders are positioned well for stability and the worksite
is safe with the help of one or two other people. Failure to secure the site safely could result in
component, property or personal damage or even death.
1. Now that bracket locations have been determined, using the bracket as a template, mark the holes for
drilling for the bracket.
NOTE: For vinyl or other lap-style siding it is recommended to use the stand off bracket, (Fig. 3A), and the
mounting bracket, (Fig. 3B), together as a template to securely install the awning to the wall.
NOTE: Use a chalk line, level or laser level to make sure the brackets are mounted in a straight and level line.
2. Using a 3/16” bit, pilot drill the centers of the marked holes, verifying that at least two (2) lags are
fastened to studs or backers, (Fig. 4A).
NOTE: Consult the wiring diagram to ensure that no wiring will be damaged while drilling the hole, if
applicable.
NOTE: When purchasing the lag screws, be sure to take into account the thickness of the vinyl siding, the
mounting bracket, the standoff bracket, exterior sheathing and furring strips to get the correct
length.
3. Install one mounting bracket using a quarter inch weather resistant lag screw to make sure the screws
are long enough to fasten into the studs.
4. Apply a liberal amount of silicone caulking around each hole before installing the brackets.
5. Install the 2 outer brackets, and then the middle bracket(s) (if required) with four lag screws each. There
could be up to 4 brackets total depending on the length of the awning.

Weather Stripping (Option - Not included - Sidewall Application ONLY)
1. Trim weather stripping to the length of the awning and remove any overhang.
2. Push weather stripping firmly into place.
3. Wipe off excess silicone.
Mounting The Awning
1. Lift the awning into position for fastening to the mounting bracket, (Fig. 5).
A. Ladders are usually sufficient; however, a scaffold may be used.
B. If using a forklift use all necessary caution to protect the surface of the awning. Lift from the
center of the awning to maintain product balance while elevating.
2. Secure the awning by moving the slide locks, (Fig. 6A), along the bottom awning track until they are located
under their respective brackets, (Fig. 6). The final position of the slide lock should be directly in the bracket,
under the shoulder of the arm.
3. Once the final location of the slide locks has been achieved, tighten both set screws on each slide lock with a
4mm hex wrench, (Fig. 7). This secures the awning in place.
