2. Extend the awning out approximately 12″ and insert cotter pins through both end caps into the shafts on the head assemblies (Fig. 2).
Note: If the awning is 6′ in length it will only need one cotter pin for the drive side end cap.
3. 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. 3).
4. Remove the screws holding the polycord in place on the awning rail.
If not properly secured, the support arms can kick out due to pressure from the gas strut, which may result in serious injury or property damage.
5. Remove the drive head assembly and idler head assembly retaining bolts from the outer arms to separate the components.
6. Working together, remove the roll tube assembly (which includes the drive/idler head assemblies) from the awning rail and support arms by sliding the assembly along the awning rail until clear.

Failure to support the roll tube, fabric and drive/idler head assemblies during removal may result in serious injury or property damage.
8. Hold the drive head assembly securely (there will be tension to be released) while another person removes the drive head assembly cotter pin.
9. While one person holds the roll tube, have another person slowly rotate the drive head assembly clockwise to release tension.

12. Place the roll tube and fabric on a clean, level surface that is free of any debris able to scratch or damage the roll tube and/or fabric.
13. With one person holding the awning rail end of the fabric, another can rotate the roll tube to unroll the fabric until only the polycord is left on the roll tube.

15. Mark the roll tube groove containing the polycord with a non-permanent marker prior to removing the fabric from the roll tube.
16. To remove the fabric, gently pull the roll tube from the idler end, while another person holds the fabric in place.
Installation
1. Unroll the replacement fabric printed side down so that the polycord is parallel and away from the roll tube.

AWNING FABRIC SEAM REPAIR AWNINGS Purpose
This document outlines the repair of awning fabric that has separated at the seam using Awning Seam Repair Adhesive PN 2022107896 (Fig. 1).
The “WARNING” symbol above is a sign that a procedure has a safety risk involved and may cause death, serious personal injury or product and/or property damage if not performed safely and within the parameters set forth in this manual. Repair compounds can be highly flammable. Do not use around open flame or other heat sources. Repair compounds may cause eye and skin irritation. May also cause drowsiness and dizziness. Use in a well-ventilated area as prolonged exposure to fumes can cause irritation to nose, mouth, throat and respiratory system. FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON THE LABEL BEFORE USING THE REPAIR COMPOUNDS. The “CAUTION” symbol above is a sign that a procedure has a safety risk involved and may cause personal injury, product and/or property damage if not performed safely and within the parameters set forth in this manual. Always use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection when working with chemical compounds.

Resources Required
Manual Awning Fabric Replacement
Removal
1. Remove the drip cap (if equipped) from the end of the awning rail from which the fabric will be removed.
2. Extend the awning out approximately 12″ and insert cotter pins through both end caps into the shafts on the head assemblies (Fig. 2).
Note: If the awning is 6′ in length it will only need one cotter pin for the drive side end cap.
3. 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. 3).
Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.
If not properly secured, the support arms can kick out due to pressure from the gas strut, which may result in serious injury or property damage.

Note: Previous awning versions had two (2) polycords and fabric stitching along the hem. The current awning model has one (1) polycord (see Fig. 1) and no fabric stitching. This should not be
mistaken as defective. AWNING FABRIC REPLACEMENT AWNINGS Fig. 2 Cotter Pin Fig. 3 4. Remove the screws holding the polycord in place on the awning rail.
5. Remove the drive head assembly and idler head assembly retaining bolts from the outer arms to separate the components.
6. Working together, remove the roll tube assembly (which includes the drive/idler head assemblies) from the awning rail and support arms by sliding the assembly along the awning rail until clear. Failure to support the roll tube, fabric and drive/idler head assemblies during removal may result in serious injury or property damage.
7. Secure the idler head and the roll tube to a work bench.
8. Have someone hold both the roll tube and drive head assembly prior to removing the cotter pin.
9. While one person holds the roll tube, have another person slowly rotate the drive head assembly clockwise to release tension. Failure to maintain control of the roll tube, fabric and drive/idler head may result in serious injury or property damage.
10. Mark the cam lock position on the roll tube with a non-permanent marker.
11. Remove the three screws holding the drive head assembly end cap on the roll tube and set the drive head assembly aside.
Note: Awnings longer than 6′ will also have tension that needs to be released in the idler head assembly prior to continuing the procedure. To release tension, remove the idler head cotter pin and slowly rotate the idler head in a counterclockwise motion to release tension in the idler head assembly’s spring.
12. Place the roll tube and fabric on a clean, level surface that is free of any debris able to scratch or damage the roll tube and/or fabric.
13. With one person holding the awning rail end of the fabric, another can rotate the roll tube to unroll the fabric until only the polycord is left on the roll tube.
14. Remove the screws holding the polycord in place on the roll tube.
15. Mark the roll tube groove containing the polycord with a non-permanent marker prior to removing the fabric from the roll tube.
16. To remove the fabric, gently pull the roll tube from the idler end, while another person holds the fabric in place.

1. Unroll the new fabric onto the old fabric to help keep fabric from getting damaged.
2. On a clean, level surface free of any debris able to scratch or damage the roll tube, gently slide the roll tube onto the polycord of the fabric, making sure that the non-printed side is touching the roll tube (Fig. 4).
3. Center the fabric on the roll tube.
4. Apply the screws that were holding the polycord in place on the roll tube. Install the screws no more than 1/4″ from the edge of the fabric.
5. Roll the fabric onto the roll tube (Fig. 5). Make sure the fabric stays snug and flat to the roll tube with the printed side facing away.

Using the three screws previously removed from the drive head assembly end cap, attach the drive head to the roll tube, making sure the orientation is the same.
Note: Be sure the drive head assembly with the cam lock is on the right-hand side of the awning.
7. Secure the idler head and roll tube to the work bench.
8. Rotate the drive head assembly counterclockwise, proper turns according to the length of the awning (Fig. 6) and insert a cotter pin into the end cap into the shaft on the drive head assembly.
Note: If the awning is longer than 6′ and the idler head assembly tension had previously been released, rotate the idler head assembly clockwise according to the length of the awning (Fig. 6) and insert a cotter pin into the end cap into the shaft on the idler head assembly. Be sure that both head assemblies are parallel once tension has been added.
