Installing the Stop Bolt
1. Retract the awning.
2. Observe if the centerline of the roll bar is level with
or slightly higher than the centerline of the awning
rail. (Refer to page 2.) The bottom of the roll bar
must not be higher than the awning rail.
3. Adjust the arm length as required. Open the arm
handle and slide the lower channel up or down as
required. Close the handle and slide the lower
channel until the locking pin clicks into the nearest
positioning hole.
4. Mark the position stop hole that is directly below
the upper channel.
5. From the inside of the channel, insert a 1/4-20 x 7/16 quadrex head screw with a star washer through the hole.
Slide the centering spacer over the screw and inside the mounting hole. Secure with a 1/4-20 cap nut.
Tip: It may be necessary to lift the upper channel to tighten the cap nut.
6. Repeat for other arm.
Securing the Fabric
1. Roll the awning in and out several times to make sure that the fabric is square on the rollbar.
2. (refer to Figure 9) Secure the canopy fabric or Alumaguard using one, #6 x 3/8" hex head screw at
both sides of the awning.

2. Peel and stick a rubber bumper on the upper brace, opposite the locking
knob as shown.
