Figure 5. Installing the Alumaguard Tractioner.
1. Partially extend the awning until the Alumaguard/Uniguard is extended with the edge on the roll bar as shown.
2. Unlock the keeper and wrap the tractioner around the roller tube.
3. Position the tractioner under the Alumaguard/Uniguard with a 1/4” gap between the metal wrap and
tractioner. Lock the keeper.
4. Repeat for the other end of the rollbar.
5. Extend the awning to verify that the tractioners are lifting the metal wrap up and over the roller assembly.
6. To secure the tractioner, drill a 1/8” hole through the tractioner and rollbar; roughly center the hole
between two slots of the rollbar.
7. Secure with one (1) #10 square drive screw.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Over time and use, the awning fabric may stretch. When this occurs the
position of the tractioner relative to the metal wrap may change. It may be necessary to remove the
screw and adjust the position of the tractioners (both sides). It will be necessary to drill new holes
(step 6) before securing with the screw.
