FOR ECLIPSE XL
This procedure applies to the XL Model only. The idler incorporates a roll bar spring to supplement the
closing power of the motor. In the closed position, the spring has no winds; the number of winds increase
as the awning extends. It will be necessary to remove the spring temporarily to change the canopy.

Figure 3. Canopy Replacement - Eclipse XL.
1. Remove the canopy retaining screws in the awning rail.
2. Follow the instructions for "Removing the Spring" on page 11.
3.
Remove the screws that attach the motor head end cap to the roll bar and save.
4. While supporting the roll bar, pull the roll bar out of the end cap of the motor head. It may be necessary
to slide the canopy in the awning rail about 2"-3" for the roll bar to clear the end cap.
CAUTION
THE ARM IS UNDER TENSION FROM THE GAS SHOCK. WHEN THE ROLLBAR IS DISENGAGED FROM THE END CAP,
THE ARM WILL EXTEND FROM THE GAS SHOCK TENSION. USE EXTREME CARE AND HOLD THE ARM AND LET IT
EXTEND. IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE OTHER PERSON HOLDING THE MOTOR ARM.
5. Allow the fabric and roll bar to hang down on the side of the coach.
6. Mark the slots that the current fabric is in then remove any fabric retaining screws and slide the roll bar
off the fabric.
7. Determine the type of canopy replacement:
• If replacing a full fabric canopy or canopy with Alumaguard or canopy with Uniguard:
For arms using
an upper mounting bracket, it will be necessary to remove the upper bracket from one side. After
removing the bracket brace the arm using scaffolding or similar support.
CAUTION
THE LOWER MOUNTING SCREWS FOR ARMS USING THE UPPER BRACKET MAY NOT BE MOUNTED INTO STRUCTURAL
MEMBERS OF THE COACH WALL
. FAILURE TO SUPPORT THE ARM CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE COACH WALL.
• For canopy only replacement for units with Alumaguard:
The fabric is crimped into the aluminum slat.
Use a large flat screw driver or similar tool to spread open the crimp on both sides of the fabric.
• For canopy only replacement for units with Uniguard:
Remove the retaining screws from both sides
of the Uniguard.
