7. For extended stays and where ground and weather

conditions permit, the patio position allows easier ac-

cess and more usable space (FIG. 7B):

Lower the awning (reverse Steps in Sec. 6)

Grasp the arm and support the awning weight. Push on

the thumb latch and allow the foot to lower, rotating out

from under the latch. (FIG. 7A)

Place the support arm down vertically on the ground

and adjust the support arm height. (FIG. 7B)

Accessory hold-down stakes should be installed through

the holes on the awning foot to secure the awning in

case of wind. (FIG. 7C)

CAUTION:  DO NOT DRIVE THE STAKES "HOME" AS IT

WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PULL THEM OUT AND MAY

DAMAGE THE AWNING FOOT.

Repeat this step on the other side to complete the patio

position setup.

8. CAUTION: Whenever heavy or prolonged rain or

wind is anticipated, or you will leave the awning

unattended, it is best to close the awning. Damage as

a result of weather is not covered by warranty.
