Awning Rail Installation

If installation of an awning rail is required, complete the

following steps.

1. Position the awning rail along the line where roof and

wall meet OR:

A. For pitched awnings: A minimum of 6" above doors or

windows.

B. For at awnings: A minimum of 2 ½" above doors or

windows.

NOTE: The awning rail must be level and parallel with the

oor line of the unit (Fig.1).

2. After determining the awning rail’s proper location, mark

its position with a non-permanent method of marking.

3. Seal the back of the awning rail.

4. Align the awning rail on the wall and secure with #10 x

¾" screws, using all fastener holes.

Awning Installation

1. On the awning rail, mark the position of the centerlines

of the support arm assemblies. Make sure the support arm

assemblies will not interfere with any lights, vents or other

obstructions.

2. Using a non-permanent method of marking, mark a

perpendicular line from the awning rail down to the oor

line. This is the centerline of the support arm assembly

(Fig.2).

3. Insert the drive head assembly shaft into the end cap

(Fig.3). Align the holes and secure with a waxed screw.

Repeat process for idler head assembly at opposite end.

NOTE: Keep the head of the wax screw ⁄” from fastened

to avoid compromising the structural integrity of the wax

screw.

4. Use a screwdriver to spread open either end of the

awning rail channel on the installation side (Fig.4A).

5. To protect the fabric from damage during installation, le

any sharp edges or burrs from the awning rail channel.

6. Use silicone lubricant and spray the inside of the awning

rail channel (Fig.4B).

7. Remove the tape from the fabric. Unroll a small portion

of fabric.

NOTE: The next steps will require three people: One to

feed the polycord into the awning rail channel; two to walk

the support arm assemblies along the awning rail while the

fabric slides into position.

8. Slide the polycord into the awning rail channel and walk

the support arm assemblies and fabric down the awning

rail channel until the support arm assemblies are in line

with the previously-made centerline marks.

9. Lift the support arm assembly up and secure by setting

the awning assembly to the desired height and attaching it

to the side of the unit with two #14 x 1 ¼” screws at the top

(Fig.5) and two #14 x 1 ¼” screws at the bottom (Fig.6).

NOTE: Best practice for setting the awning height is to

push the top of the support arm assemblies up to be ush

with the bottom of the awning rail. The awning height

can be adjusted lower if desired, but make sure the

distance from the awning rail to the top of the support arm

assemblies is consistent at both ends of the awning.

NOTE: Make sure the awning assembly is square on the

unit prior to mounting the bottom two screws.

NOTE: Four rivets with ⁄” grip range can be used in

place of the two middle and two lower screws on laminated

walls.

10. Cut the cable ties, locate the switch on the side of the

arm and open the awning halfway out.

11. Remove the wire cover to expose the fastening points.

12. Install the remaining two #14 x 1 ¼” screws at any of

the three locations shown in the center of the support arm

(Fig.7).

13. Repeat this process for the other side of the awning

assembly.

Securing The Fabric

1. Extend and retract the awning several times to make

sure the fabric is square on the roll tube.

2. On both ends, secure the fabric in the awning rail no

more than 1” inside the edge of the fabric using a #6 x ½”

hex head screw (Fig.8).

3. Install the screw down through the awning rail into the

fabric and the polycord.

Operation

Extending the Awning

1. Locate the locking latch on the side of the support arm, if

equipped, and unlock the latch.

NOTE: This latch is optional and may or may not be

installed on one or both support arms.

2. Lift up and hold the switch (Fig.11A) until the awning is

extended completely.

Charging the Battery

The battery for the Solera 18V Power Pack is located

inside the drive arm. The awning will operate 22-25 times

before needing to be recharged.

1. Locate the battery wires (Fig.9A) stored inside the

bottom of the drive arm. The wires will be afxed with a

hook-and-loop fastener.

2. Attach the battery wires to the included battery charger

cord (Fig.9B).

3. Plug the charger (Fig.10) into a 110V outlet.

4. When the battery is fully charged, a green light will

illuminate on the charger. A red light indicates the battery is

still charging.

Retracting the Awning

NOTE: The awning can be retracted without resetting the

pitch.

1. Hold the switch (Fig.11A) down until the awning is

retracted completely.

2. Locate the locking latch on the side of the support arm,

if equipped, and lock the latch.

NOTE: This latch is optional and may or may not be

installed on one or both support arms.

Adjusting Pitch

NOTE: The awning will pitch itself to purge the pooling of

excess water and may dump a signicant amount of water

without notice.

1. Pitch can be set by adjusting the pitch arm to tip one

side of the awning to allow water runoff or shade.

2. Extend the awning to the fully open position.

3. Choose the side of the awning for optimum shade or

convenient water runoff. Pull downward on the joint of

the pitch arm until desired pitch is set (Fig.13) to allow for

water runoff.

NOTE: Do not push the joint of the pitch arm up past

the point where the two sections are in line. This will put

tension on the gas strut, which can cause the strut to

break.

pitch

Extension is considered complete when the fabric is

completely unrolled, the valance is hanging down from the

roll tube and a section of the roll tube is exposed (Fig.12).

The awning fabric should always be above the roll tube.

However, if the extend switch is engaged too long or

extend is hit inadvertently, the awning will roll up backward.

This is not a defect. To correct the fabric orientation, set

the switch to retract (Fig.11A). The awning will then extend

to its correct orientation and normal operation can resume.

TYING DOWN THE ROLL TUBE ONCE THE AWNING

IS EXTENDED WILL NOT ALLOW THE FREE-

FLOATING SUPPORT ARMS TO WORK AS DESIGNED

AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AWNING OR

UNIT.

NOTE: The awning can be retracted without resetting the

pitch.

NOTE: Belleville washers and bolts (Fig.14A) allow the

joint to remain in the position set by the operator. If the

pitch arm does not hold position, it can be tightened by

adjusting the bolt (Fig.14A) in the center of the pitch arm.

Troubleshooting

Manual Override

In the event of power loss or motor failure, the awning can

be extended and retracted manually. Perform the following

procedure to manually retract the awning.

NOTE: This procedure may also be performed to extend or

retract the awning in the event of dry camping or camping

without a battery.

1. Remove the rubber grommet (Fig.15A) from the drive

head assembly, exposing the manual override nut on the

motor.

NOTE: The drive head assembly is always located on the

right side of the awning as it is viewed from outside of the

unit.

2. Using a ⁄” socket and cordless or electric drill or screw

gun, spin the manual override nut counterclockwise to

retract the awning (Fig.16).

Fig.14

Fig.15

Fig.16

NOTE: Use caution when retracting the awning manually.

The use of a step stool or ladder may be required to

completely retract the awning.

3. When the awning is completely retracted, replace the

rubber grommet in the drive head assembly (Fig.15A).

NOTE: The motor’s internal drive system prevents the

awning from moving (extend or retract) on its own. If the

motor is damaged or disabled, make sure to secure the

awning in the retracted position with a strap around both

the outer arm and the mount arm (Fig.17) before the

manual override nut is released.
