Note: For Awnings that
have a SunSetter
Aluminum Hood installed,
on the same side as the
Motor, remove the Hood
End Plate. See Figure 1.
3. Using the Manual Crank
Wand, continue to unroll
the Fabric until you expose
the Fabric Slot in the Roller
Bar and create maximum
slack in the Fabric. See
Figure 2.
4. Have one helper hold the Roller Bar near the
Roller Bracket on the side that is opposite of the
Motor. This is necessary to keep the Roller Bar
from coming out of the Roller Bracket while the
Motor is unbolted from the other side.
See Figure 2.
Note: The Roller Bar can be removed from
between the Roller Brackets if more space is
needed to remove and replace the Motor. Be
careful to not lose the Gray Bushing on the Pin
at the end of the Roller Bar. The Helper(s) must
hold and stabilize the Roller Bar with care.
