A. ADJUSTING MOTOR LIMIT SWITCHES
NOTE: The motor limit switches have been adjusted to the correct position at the
factory prior to shipment. The awning motor is set to stop the exact moment the awning
box closes. The fabric should be taut, the arms should be slightly bent, exposing a 1/8"
gap at the elbows when fully extended.
Always check the motor limits after installation to ensure that the awning opens and
closes correctly. Awning fabric can stretch over time, this will require an adjustment of
the OUT limit swich.
IMPORTANT: EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE MOTOR
LIMIT TURNS OFF AT THE EXACT MOMENT THE AWNING BOX CLOSES. FAILURE TO
DO SO WILL CAUSE THE MOTOR TO RUN WHEN THE AWNING IS CLOSED. THIS CAN
SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR.
1. The AC motors used in Girard Systems awnings are reversible. Any references made
to the motor limit switches in these instructions are based on the right-hand placement
of the motor. For left hand placement, simply reverse the instructions. (Figure 8)
2. The motor has limit settings for both OUT (extension) and IN (retraction).
3. Adjust the limit switches with the black key provided with the awning, or you may use a
4mm (5/32") allen wrench.
