Rev: 01.11.2021 Page 1 CCD-0002066 AWNING FABRIC REPLACEMENT TI-166 AWNINGS Purpose This document outlines the removal and replacement of awning fabric. Resources Required Manual Awning Fabric Replacement Removal 1. Remove the drip cap (if equipped) from the end of the awning 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). 4. Remove the screws holding the polycord in place on the awning rail. 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. • 1 to 3 People • Cordless or Electric Drill or Screw Gun • Appropriate Drive Bits • Zip Ties • Two Cotter Pins (manual awning only) • Non-Permanent Marker Safety Fig. 1 Polycord 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.
