Awning adjustment


Recommended Posts

Where do I need to start to adjust this correctly.  Do I need to adjust the positions of where the arms attach to the outer rail or is this caused by something else? I want to have an idea before I start messing with it.

Thanks,

John

John, 

I had the same issue with my awning.  There is a small allen-head screw that needs a quarter to half turn that will likely fix your awning to close all the way.  I believe the screw gets turned clockwise but this detail is in the Girard manual for sure.

I would try this first before adjusting anything else.  Mine looked like yours in that it wouldn't close all the way.  I made a very small adjustment to that allen-head screw and now my awning retracts completely.

Same thing happed to us as well.  I did exactly what conner77 did.  All's well after 2 1/2 months.

Best of luck,

John

Thanks.  Mine is identical on this end.  The opposite end seems to be snugged up OK.  Does anyone have anything more specific on the tool?  SAE?  Metric?  Size?

This manual was downloaded from the Oliver University, which is in the Owner Resources section.  It looks like the answer to solving your issue begins on page 30.
