ECLIPSE Installation Manual Carefree of Colorado INSTALLATION REQUIRED PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION 1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and level the unit. 2. If this is an upgrade for a manual patio awning, follow the awning manufacturer's instructions and remove the awning from the coach including the roll bar and canopy. 2.1. Remove all brackets. 2.2. Plug and seal all mounting holes. The new Eclipse arms may not match the locations of the old awning arms. 2.3. Remove the roll bar from the arms and on a flat clean surface, roll the fabric onto the roll bar. 2.4. If the canopy is equipped with Alumaguard, remove the tractioners and set aside. These will be reinstalled after the new awning assembly is installed. 3. Check where the awning arms will be installed. The arms fit snug to the side of the vehicle and must not cover or interfere with exhaust vents, lights etc. 4. If there is an awning rail installed, check that the awning rail runs the full length of the awning. Please refer to the note under "Installing an Awning Rail" before proceeding. 5. Refer to the important note on page 6 about the required positioning of the centerline of the roll bar. INSTALLING AN AWNING RAIL NOTE: For canopies WITHOUT Alumaguard or Uniguard: If the vehicle already has a full-length awning rail installed, skip to step 6. For Alumaguard and Uniguard installations: If the existing awning rail is incorporated into the coach trim or a drip rail, it will be necessary to mount a standard awning rail flat on the coach wall. The awning rail and arms must be positioned so that any existing trim does not interfere with the Alumaguard or Uniguard's "Flex Connect" or the awning arm when in the closed position. ALUMAGUARD UNIGUARD Flex Connect Must Be Flat When the Awning is Closed Standard Awning Rail Mounted to Coach Wall Standard Awning Rail Mounted to Coach Wall Coach Wall Coach Wall 1. Determine the optimum positioning of the awning so that the arms will not interfere with the door frame or light fixtures. The centerline of the rail should be above the door opening a minimum of 6" for vinyl and 7" for Alumaguard/Uniguard. After determining mounting position, mark the position with a chalk line. 2. Awning rail must be level. 3. Seal the back of the rail with silicone sealant or putty tape. 4. Align the awning rail onto the wall and secure with #10 x 3/4 screws. Use all the attach holes in the rail. CAUTION Make sure the screws are securely mounted to the structural frame of the vehicle. E0050 5. Use a screwdriver to spread open one end of the awning rail on the installation side. 6. File any sharp edges or burrs from the end of the rail. This will help protect the awning fabric from damage during installation. 7. Spray inside the awning rail track with silicone lubricant. Spread open the end of the awning rail T0012
