5. Pull on the mount/rafter arm to ensure the fabric is taut and tighten the black locking knob to lock it

into place.

6. Raise the outer arms to the desired height by releasing the support arm assembly handle and allow

the outer arm upper channel (channel #1) (Fig. 1) to slide on the outer arm lower channel (channel #2)

(Fig. 1). Once to the desired height let go of the support arm assembly handle to lock the arm at this

position.

7. Slide the pull strap to one end or the other and wrap it around the arm to get it out of the way.

Optional Car Port Position

1. Once all the above steps are complete, remove the outer arm from the side of the unit by releasing the

lever on the lower mounting bracket.

2. Walk the awning out until the outer arm is straight up and down and let it set on the ground.

3. Make sure to secure the foot of the outer arm to the ground with the provided stakes.

Retracting the Awning

1. If in car port mode, remove the stakes from the foot of the outer arm. Then walk the outer arm back to

the unit and secure it to the lower mounting bracket on the sidewall of the unit. Do this for both ends.

2. Take the awning pull strap and return it to the center of the awning roll tube.

3. Lower the roll tube by holding the outer arm and releasing the support arm assembly handle on the

side. Let the outer arm upper channel (channel #1) (Fig. 1) slide down the outer arm lower channel

(channel #2) (Fig. 1) until it rests on the acorn nut. Repeat this for the other end.

4. Loosen the black locking knob and unlock the mount/rafter arm by releasing the spring clip from the

top of the head assembly. Allow the mount/rafter arm to slide all the way down toward the bottom of

the outer arm. Repeat this for both ends.

5. Take a firm hold on the awning strap and release the tension on the springs by flipping the cam lock

up to the roll in position.

6. Walk the awning in toward the unit. Hook the pull rod into the pull strap before the strap gets too high.

Using the pull rod, walk the awning to the fully-closed position.

7. Lock the arms for travel mode by compressing the outer arm and mount/rafter arm together until the

red tab disappears. Then tighten the black locking knob.

Maintenance - Solera Awnings

Fabric Care

NOTE: If the awning is retracted while wet, extend the awning and let it dry as soon as conditions allow

before retracting. This will help prevent the formation of mildew and add greatly to the life of the

awning. Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt and grime.

NOTE: Periodically clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a mixture of ¼cup of dish soap and 5 gallons

of warm water. Liberally apply the mixture on the top of the fabric and retract the awning for 5

minutes. This will apply the mixture to the bottom of the fabric as well. Extend the awning and hose

off with fresh water. Repeat if necessary. Allow to dry before retracting.

Troubleshooting Continued

What is happening? Why it's happening What should be done?

Awning will not stay in the

rolled out position.

Cam lock wear may be

present.

Check the cam lock. Signs of a faulty cam lock

include:

- The absence of a clicking noise when the awning is

rolled out.

- The awning rolling back up after it is placed in the

stop position.
