may result in personal injury or property damage.

NOte: Roll the fabric as tight to the unit as possible while leaving enough slack in the fabric to be able to
slide the drive head back onto the end cap.
5. Slide drive head shaft into the end cap and reinstall the #8 wax screw to secure.
6. Tighten zip ties around the support arms until the support arms are as tight against the unit as
possible.
Procedure #1 (Preferred)
1. Push both support arm assemblies closed until they are approximately one foot from fully retracted.
Secure both support arm assemblies by securing a zip tie around the outer arm and around the pin on
the top of the mount arm where the mount arm and inner arm connect (Fig. 6).

Maintenance
Fabric Care
If the awning is retracted while wet, extend the awning and let it dry as soon as conditions allow before
retracting. This will help prevent the formation of mildew and add greatly to the life of the awning. Mildew
does not form on the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt and grime.
NOte: Periodically clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a mixture of 1/4 cup of dish soap and 5 gallons
of warm water. Liberally apply the mixture on the top of the fabric and retract the awning for 5
minutes. This will apply the mixture to the bottom of the fabric as well. Extend the awning and hose
off with fresh water. Repeat if necessary. Allow to dry before retracting.
Variant Code Information
Solera® Awnings have a sticker located on the roll tube with a variant code that is specific to that awning assembly
(Fig. 5). The sticker on newer units will be located near the motor head on the roll tube. There will also be a sticker
on the awning fabric. The variant code will determine which variation of the product is being used. When ordering
replacement parts, it is imperative to use the variant code to receive the most compatible part.
Roll tube
ensure the awning assembly is secure against the side of the unit prior to travel. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or property damage.
