Then place the guide into the
side channel with the bottom
sitting on the vertical fins of the
bottom end cap. Complete
this process on the other side
channel.

F. Fully lower and raise the awning

2-3 times to align the floating
guide channels.

1. Then with the awning in the
down position check the skin
is centred on the awning
and the positioning of the
guides in the side channel
looks balanced, adjust the
skin position as required to
achieve this.

2. Tighten up the top end cap
locating nut. (7mm spanner is
required).

STEP 5 - SECURING THE FLOATING GUIDE ONTO SIDE CHANNEL

Note: It is important to set the torque of the power screw driver to a lower setting then change the adjust the torque a bit higher if needed.

a. Lower the awning skin down to the bottom of the side channel.

b. Choose one of the side channels to fasten first i.e. either left or right.

c. Starting at the bottom of the channel move to the closest cut out in the side channel. Drill a 2.5mm pilot hole

in both the Grey floating guide and the first layer of the side channel ( you will feel the movement with the drill
once the bit passes through the first layer of side channel) and fasten with the supplied fixing screw. Continue
this procedure moving up the side channel at each cut out.

Note: Drill the pilot hole with medium pressure, this will ensure you do not drill through the back of the side guide.
