REPLACING PROJECTION ARMS
STOP! CAUTION: DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR THE ARMS WITHOUT READING AND
FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE INJURYAND
DAMAGE TO YOU, YOUR PROPERTY AND THE AWNING.
Please observe the
CAUTION: HIGH TENSION PROJECTION ARMS labels when replacing the lateral arms of your
awning. These arms are loaded with high tension springs and can cause severe personal injury and property
damage if extreme caution is not used. Follow the step-by-step instructions to change the arms of your
Retractable Awning:
• Close or retract the awning completely.
• Tie each of the arms closed (in folded/retracted position). They should not be tied to either the front or back
bar.
• Once ALL arms are securely tied, you are ready to remove one arm. The arms are marked “left” or “right”.
Determine left or right by facing the wall where the awning is mounted. (Left is on the left in front of you, right
is on the right)
• First, remove the nuts and bolts that secure the arm to the front bar.
• Then, remove the nuts and bolts that secure the arm to the back bar.
• Remove the bar from the awning.
• Tie the replacement arm closed with zip ties.
• Install the replacement arm by attaching it at the back bar first and the front bar last. Do not tighten the nuts
on the bolts, they require adjustment.
• After you have replaced the arm, lift the hinge side of the arm as high as it will go (this aligns the arms), then
tighten up all the nuts on the bolts (at front and back bars) connecting the arms to the awning frame.
• If you have more than one arm to replace, repeat steps 4-9 for each arm.
• It is very important that all bolts are fully tightened before removing the ties. Be careful not to damage the
awning when removing the ties. If you have questions, please contact Technical Support at 800-200-5997.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR AWNING RETRACTED WHEN NOT IN USE. ALWAYS RETRACT YOUR
AWNING DURING RAIN, ICE, SLEET, SNOW, HIGH WIND AND GUSTY CONDITIONS. FAILURE
TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE YOUR AWNING. ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM FAILURE HEED
