1. Press the Neutral/Stop button on the remote.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. From a stepladder locate the limit push buttons on the motor. These push buttons will be on the top of
the motor housing under a black plastic protective cap. See Figure 15.
4. Grasp the black protective cap and lift it up. You will notice one yellow button and one white button
inside a recessed area. These are the limit push buttons for the OPEN and CLOSE positions for the
motorized awning.
5. Clear the Factory Settings by separately pressing both buttons (white and yellow) until they are both
‘IN’ or at their lowest point inside the recessed area of the motor housing – see figure 15. You should
practice this a few times to understand this process.
6. Manually crank the awning open to the point where both sets of lateral arms ‘lock’ into the fully
extended position. The fabric will also be at its tightest point.
NOTE: The fabric on the left side (as you face the motor) should be rolling from the bottom of the roller
bar, and the fabric on the right side should be rolling over the top of the roller bar. See Figure 16. If the
fabric is not as noted in figure 16, continue unrolling the fabric until the fabric on the left side is rolling
from the bottom and the fabric on the right side is rolling over the top of the roller bar. Then roll up the
fabric until the fabric becomes tight.
7. Depress the yellow button so that it is in the ‘OUT’ position (or closer to the top of the recessed
area on the motor housing). Now the OPEN position stop is set.
8. Manually roll the awning up until it is almost completely closed. The area to watch for is when the
elbows of the arm assemblies come in contact with the horizontal square bar.
9. Depress the white button so that it is in the ‘OUT’ position (or closer to the top of the recessed area
on the motor housing). Now the CLOSE position stop is set.
10. Replace the black protective cap on the motor housing. Be careful that the cap will not accidentally
depress one of the push limit buttons underneath.
11. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet.
12. Test the awning for proper operation.
