7. Remove the two square drive screws attaching the end cap to the roll bar, separate the roll bar and end
cap. It will be necessary to hold the roll bar and motor arm. Allow the arm to extend out.
8. Use a ladder or other device support the roll bar.
CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW THE ROLL BAR TO DROP TOWARD THE GROUND. THE TWISTING MOTION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE IDLER ARM.
9. Loosen and remove the 3/8-16 lock nut from the mounting bolt. Make note of the number and order of
the spacer-washers between the arm mounting block and the motor head.
Tip: When the nut is removed, the bolt will slide out of the arm mounting block inside the arm channel.
Placing tape on the head of the mounting bolt and the spacers will prevent the bolt and the spacers
from falling out when the nut and motor are removed.
10. Remove the rest of the motor assembly. The motor assembly consists of the motor, mounting frame,
gears, shaft and roller end cap.
11. Place the new motor assembly in position over the mounting bolt. Ensure that the spacer-washers are
all accounted for.
12. Secure using the washer and lock nut removed previously. The nut should be tightened until snug but
the motor head should be able to swivel by hand.
13. Attach the rear cover to the motor assembly using the large screw removed previously.
14. Attach the motor and cable wires to the terminals inside the rear cover.
NOTE: FOR XL AWNINGS:
Before attaching the roll bar to the end cap, collapse and hold the motor
arm to match the idler arm position. Ensure that the fabric is rolled up evenly on the roll bar.
15. Align the roll bar with the end cap on the motorized arm assembly. Rotate the end cap until the slot
in the cap aligns with the empty slot in the roller assembly, and then press the roller assembly fully into
the cap. The end cap must seat squarely over the end of the roller assembly when complete.
NOTE: On early units, a spider gear was inside the end cap to hold the rollbar in position with
the drive shaft. The replacement end cap no longer requires the use of the spider.
16. Secure the end cap to the roller assembly using two #10 x 5/8 square-drive screws.
17. Restore power and test operation. If the awning moves in the wrong direction (i.e. extends when retract
is pushed) reverse only the two motor wires in the rear cover.
18. Attach the front cover using the small screws removed previously.
