Congratulations on your purchase of the Coast to Coast Awning Flap Eliminator
Please follow the below instructions to ensure a safe and secure installation.
As many RV Awnings differ, you may need to alter these instructions to suit
your specific Awning or application
IMPORTANT NOTE
Awning operations vary by brand/type and user personal preferences or procedures. Ensure you take care at all times when operating your awning. Take care at all times to ensure the awning does not “spring” in or out and cause you harm during installation of Flap Eliminators or general awning usage.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
- STEP 1: Extend your awning as per the awning user manual. Ensure the sail track containing the awning pull strap is at the 2 or 3 o’clock position.
- STEP 2
- a. Ensure the awning fabric is taut and tighten your rafter knurled knobs.
- b. Check that the sail track containing the pull strap is still at the 2 or 3 o’clock position. If not, repeat steps 1 and 2 to adjust the setup until this is achieved. This may take a few attempts if your awning has an LED fitted.
- STEP 3: Once the awning is in the required position, drill a 10mm (3/8″) hole in the roll tube, 20mm in and 20mm down from the awning fabric underside. Do the same on both ends of the roll tube. STEP 4 : Fit the wall brackets on both ends of the awning. The outer end of the elongated slot of the bracket should line up with the edge of the awning fabric, and 20mm down from the underside of the awning fabric. In some cases, if a double sail track is used, you may find the bracket needs to be fitted to the wall through the sail track
- STEP 5
- a. Prepare the Flap Eliminators to be fitted to the awning. Select the 2x ends with the hook ends and remove the joiner which has been fixed into the arm with 2x Philips head screws for shipping and handling. Reverse the direction of the joiner, and re-secure with the same screws.
- b. Release the clamping handles on the 4x Flap Eliminator pieces
- c. Join the 2x left and 2x right Flap Eliminator sets (do not tighten the securing knob yet)
- STEP 6: Fit the Flap Eliminator to the mounting hook (wall brackets) that you secured in step 4. Ensure the hook is located correctly swing the complete assembly up and ensure the awing fabric sits inside the clamping flange of the Flap Eliminator. NOTE – The assembly should swing up without force. If resistance is felt, ensure the hook is located on the mounting bracket correctly.
- STEP 7
- a. Slide the spigot end of the Flap Eliminator into the hole that was drilled into the roll tube in step 3
- b. Ensure the Flap Eliminator is fully extended and lock the securing knob on the joiners.
- c. Check again that the awning fabric is located in between the Flap Eliminator body and the top clamping flange of the Flap Eliminator.
- STEP 8
- a. Pull the awning fabric taut towards you at the gap between the two pieces of the Flap Eliminator, and use your spare hand to clamp the cam lock handles to secure the Flap Eliminators to the awning fabric. Repeat this step on both sides of the awning.
- b. Check all clamp handles, knurled knobs, and rafters are still all tight.
DISASSEMBLY
- Open the clamping handles to release the clamping force from the awning fabric.
- Undo the knurled knob at the joiner to enable the retracting of the Flap Eliminator spigot from the hole in the awning roll tube.
- Slide the Flap Eliminator out and away from the awning, and swivel down and out of the wall bracket.
- Once the Flap Eliminators are removed, continue using your awning as per the relevant user manual for your particular awning.
