<strong>052930E</strong>-002D. Repeat steps 5A through 5C for adjusting the length <strong>of</strong>the <strong>non</strong>-motorized arm assembly.Note: Both the motorized and <strong>non</strong>-motorized armassemblies should use the same numbered hole forreattaching the adjustable legs.E. Now that the ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> awning is assembled andadjusted for the RV, use two helpers to lift the awning into avertical position so the roller assembly is at the top.Warning: Exercise caution when lifting and handlingthe awning assembly. Both arm assemblies must remainperpendicular to the roller assembly and parallel to eachother (see page 2). Failure to handle the awning arms inthis way will bend the drive shafts.Tip: Silicone spray lubricant applied to the awning railwill allow for easier installation during step 5F.F. Carefully slide the awning polyrod or the Alumaguarddrip rail into the awning rail as the helpers alternately guidethe front and rear arms (figure 7).G. Once the awning arms are aligned with the previouslyinstalled bottom brackets, snap the bottom portion <strong>of</strong> eachadjustable leg into its bottom bracket and allow the awningto lean away from the side <strong>of</strong> the RV.Step Six:<strong>Carefree</strong> ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> AwningInstall the Top BracketsA. Remove the plastic wrap from the motorized armassembly and position <strong>of</strong> upper bracket at the awning rail.The top bracket should straddle the awning rail and be positionedfully up against the bottom <strong>of</strong> the rail (figure 8).The brackets should be straight up and down (not angled)for proper operation. (See below for your style <strong>of</strong> bracket)Note: The distance between the centers <strong>of</strong> the topbrackets must be within ½" <strong>of</strong> the distance between thecenters <strong>of</strong> bottom brackets. Also the awning arms must beperpendicular to the awning roller assembly (see page 2).B. Secure the bracket into the ro<strong>of</strong> line using two,#14 x 3" lag screws.Tip: For best results, pre-drill the lag screw holeswith a 3/16” bit through the awning rail and slightly into thestructural support member. Inject silicone sealant into theholes before installing the lag screws.C. Repeat Steps 6A & 6B for the <strong>non</strong>-motorized arm.SINGLE PIECE BRACKETAwning Railmounted to RVbracket restsagainst the bottom<strong>of</strong> the awningfigure. 8position top bracketas shown and fastenfigure 7Insert canopy orAlumaguard intoawning rail.Position TopBracket up anddown as required.Pin should float inslot when awing isfully retracted.FOR MULTI-PIECE BRACKETSAdjustablePositionadjustable legsas required to ensurethe top bracketsinstall straight upand down, not an-RV wallPage 7

<strong>052930E</strong>-002Step Seven: Install the Power ControlModule and Power Control SwitchTip: For optimum performance, always ensureelectrical connections are clean, dry, and tight. When usingsolderless terminals or other methods <strong>of</strong> attaching orconnecting wires, it is recommended to use heat shrinktubing to reduce corrosion contamination and the possibility<strong>of</strong> corroded connections or an open circuit.A. Review the wiring diagram in page 8. Determine asuitable location to mount the power control module andpower control switch that will allow convenient wiring andsufficient view <strong>of</strong> the ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> Awning during operationwhile depressing the power switch. Typical locationsinclude: just inside the entry door, in an overhead cabinetnear the entry door, or in a protected exterior compartment.The switch assembly requires a rough cut-out opening thatmeasures, 1" H x 2-1/4" W.Note: A maximum <strong>of</strong> 18” <strong>of</strong> wire is available to connectthe power control module to the power control switch.Consider the placement <strong>of</strong> the power control switch whileevaluating power control module placement.Caution: Minimum wire length and maximum wire sizeshould be selected to assure adequate voltage to theONE-<strong>Touch</strong> Awning motor.power control module. Use two <strong>of</strong> the wire joints provided toconnect one lead <strong>of</strong> the 15 amp fuse holder to the wire fromthe distribution panel and the other fuse lead to the positivewire (red) running from the three pronged connector.G. Connect the unattached end <strong>of</strong> the black wire runningfrom the wire joint shared with two other black wires to asuitable grounding locating on the RV. Use extra wires anda wire joint if necessary.Note: A suitable ground would be the chassis <strong>of</strong> theRV or any other conductive structure attached to thechassis.Step Eight:Mount the OutletA. Mark and drill a 15/16" hole in the exterior side wall,3” - 5” below the slot in the awning rail and 1” - 4” to the left<strong>of</strong> the front arm <strong>of</strong> the awning (figure 9).Awning Rail<strong>Carefree</strong> ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> AwningWarning (1) The power switch is factory installed on amounting plate beside a removable key switch; do notinstall the mounting plate in a location that will allow the keyto be bumped into. Bumping into the key may cause minorinjury or damage to the key.Warning (2) Do not mount the control box or relaynear heat producing elements such as LP appliances orengineexhaust components.within 5”3”within 4”1Top RafterBracketB. Once the location <strong>of</strong> the Power Control Module isdetermined fasten the control module in place using thescrews provided.C. After the location <strong>of</strong> the Power Control Switch is determined,cut out an opening in the mounting surface thatmeasures, 1" H x 2-1/4" W. Run the wires connected to thePower Control Switch through the opening. Do not fastenthe Power Control Switch in place at this time.E. Plug the three pronged connector at the end <strong>of</strong> the wiresrunning from the power switch into the three pronged outletin the power control module.F. Run a 14-guage minimum (10 or 12 gauge preferred)wire from the positive terminal on the RV, power distributionpanel (auxiliary battery circuit) to the positive wire (red)drill 15/16” holefigure. 9Tip: Use a sharp, 15/16" hole saw when drilling throughlaminate siding. A dull saw may result in an oversized holeor chipping and could allow potential moister damage. Forbest results, try a few sample holes in similar scrap material.Caution: Measure and mark carefully. Be aware <strong>of</strong>interior cabinet framing or other structures that may belocated directly behind the wall. Shift the position asnecessary while staying within the specified parameters. Beaware that structural obstructions may prevent proper holedrilling.Page 9


<strong>052930E</strong>-002B. Route two, 14-gauge wires from the power control moduleup to and through the hole in the side wall <strong>of</strong> the RV.Use the wire joints provided to connect the two, 14-guagewires to the two leads on the two pronged connector. Plugthe two pronged connector into the two pronged outlet inthe power control module.Tip: Conceal the two, 14 guage wires behind corner trimmolding or inside cabinets. If surface wiring is the onlyoption, obtain aftermarket concealment raceways to safelyroute the wires.C. Connect the wires running from the two prongedconnector to the terminals at the rear <strong>of</strong> the outlet using thespade connectors provided.D. Apply silicon sealant or putty tape to the back <strong>of</strong> theflange and place the outlet in the hole with the tab slots atthe 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions. Mount the outlet tothe side <strong>of</strong> the RV using the screws provided. Carefullytrim excess sealant from around the outlet. After installationthe rubber cover may also be removed if desiredE. Plug the electrical harness from the front arm assemblyinto the outlet on the side <strong>of</strong> the RV.Note: Align the tabs on the plug with the slots in thereceptacle, (at the 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions), insertthe plug fully and twist 1/8th <strong>of</strong> a turn clockwise untilthe metallic clip firmly latches in place. To disconnect, pullback on the metallic clip with your thumb while twisting theplug counter-clockwise 1/8th <strong>of</strong> a turn. Pull the plug straightout <strong>of</strong> the outlet.Tip: Allow a downward loop to form in the harness out<strong>of</strong> the outlet to prevent rainwater from entering the plug.Gas ShockSet CollarUpper Carriage<strong>Carefree</strong> ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> AwningTractioner is installed in step 10b.(2) If the motor runs in the reverse direction, it willbe necessary to push the switch out <strong>of</strong> the Power ControlSwitch panel, flip it upside down and reinstall.(3) The Power Control Switch panel may now bemounted in place.C. Have available the 9/64 hex wrench provided. Retractthe awning until the roller assembly makes onecomplete turn. While holding on to the Lower Carriage onthe motorized arm assembly, cut and remove the cable tieattaching the Upper Carriage and Lower Carriage together.Move the Lower Carriage up until it touches theUpper Carriage (figure 9). Tighten the clamping screws onthe Lower Carriage with the 9/64 hex wrench. Repeat thisprocedure on the <strong>non</strong>-motorized arm assembly.D. Extend the awning until the rafters are at the maximumopen position allowed by the Rafter Elbow Stop (figure 10).The Gas Shocks on both the armassemblies should be compressed 1/4” - 3/4” at this time.Jog the power switch slightly to retract and tighten thecanopy fabric.Step Nine:Verify Operationadjust LowerCarriageA. Extend awning completely out. If awning will not extendfully adjust both rafters “longer” by removing the screws(figure 10a) and increasing length <strong>of</strong> both ends <strong>of</strong> the raftersthe same amount. If canopy extends but rafter does notlock out (figure 10) then “shorten” the rafter so the “elbowstop” completely locks out against the rafter “inner channel“.figure 9Note: Webbing notRafter Inner ChannelB. Extend the awning until the roller assembly stopsturning. At this point the fabric will be slightly slack. Theawning should deploy evenly; refer to the troubleshootingguide if it does not.Note: (1) For Alumaguard models it may be necessaryto assist the deployment <strong>of</strong> the awning away from the RV forsteps 9A through 9F.

<strong>052930E</strong>-002E. Move the Set Collar on the motorized arm assembly upuntil it touches the base <strong>of</strong> the gas shock and tighten theclamping screws with the 9/64 hex wrench. Repeat thisprocedure on the <strong>non</strong>-motorized arm assembly. (figure 9).F. Cycle the awning in and out several times, (see theOperating Instructionsin the next section), tobe sure that it operatessmoothly and theAdjustable Rafterroller assembly is extendingevenly awayfrom the arm assemblies.Verify the raf-Adjustment Screwsters are unfoldingproperly and restingagainst the elbowstops when the awningis fully extended(figure 10). Refer tothetroubleshooting guideif rafter operationdoes not appearcorrect.<strong>Carefree</strong> ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> AwningAlumaguard awnings only, require that you installAlumaguard Tractioner on each end <strong>of</strong> the rollerassembly (fig 12).A. Grasp the Alumaguard Tractioner and O-Ring (shownin figure 12a) and disconnect one end <strong>of</strong> the O-Ring fromthe keeper on the Tractioner.B. Fully retract the awning and then extend it just enoughto take tension <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> the alumaguard wrap.(approximately 1/8 <strong>of</strong> a turn) Wrap the tractioner aroundthe roller tube and re-connect the O-ring to the keeper.C. Position the tractioner as shown in figure 12b and 12c.D. Extend the awning and verify that the AlumaguardTractioners are engaging the Alumaguard properly.

Once installed the ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> arms must not beremoved from the bottom brackets (NO CARPORTPOSITION). To ensure the arms are not removed thequick install/release catch on the bottom bracketsmust be disabled by installing the Bottom BracketSafety Stops (figure 13, right).Section TwoWarning: If the awning is partially deployed the awningwill not be resistant to wind; partial extension is recommendedin calm conditions only. Additionally, Do not extendthe awning in gusty wind conditions. If the awning is to beleft unattended or used in breezy wind conditions it ishighly recommended that the roller assemblyTie-Downs provided be used at each end <strong>of</strong> the rollerassembly.STEP ELEVEN:Installing Protective PadRetract awning until the rafter rubber bumper nearlymakes contact with the sidewall. Stick the round clearprotective pad on the sidewall <strong>of</strong> the vehicle at the pointwhere the bumper will make contact once the awning iscompletely retracted.Operational InstructionsPower SwitchNote: The RV must be positioned relatively level for the<strong>Carefree</strong> ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> awning to operate properly.Tip: For optimum performance, be sure the batterysystems are fully charged or the power converterenergized.How the Power Control Module WorksKeyfigure 14To prevent damage to the ONE -<strong>Touch</strong> motor and circuitry,the Power Control Module monitors the current drawn bythe motor. If the current draw exceeds the preset factorylevel, the power control module shuts <strong>of</strong>f the power to theawning momentarily. This will occur if the power switchcontinues to be operated after the awning is fully retractedor extended. To reduce ware on the awning and it’s powersystem do not continuing to operate the power switch afterfull extension or retraction.Page 12


<strong>052930E</strong>-002Step One: To Extend or Retract the AwningA. To Extend: With the key in the “ON”, position, operatethe power switch in the “EXTEND” mode. Extend the awninguntil the roller assembly stops turning. At this point thefabric will be slightly slack.Jog the “RETRACT” switch slightly to tighten canopy.Note: If the awning is only to be partially extended,simply release the momentary rocker switch when theawning is extended to the point desired.B. To Retract: Operate the power switch in the“RETRACT” position until the awning is fully retracted.<strong>Carefree</strong> ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> AwningEmergency Retraction <strong>of</strong> AwningIf an alternative 12 volt power source is available:If power from the RV is unavailable for operation, the<strong>Carefree</strong> ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> awning can be safely retracted bydisconnecting the power plug and applying a positive andnegative 12-volts to the two terminals located on the bottomside <strong>of</strong> the motor housing.Using the jumper cables provided attach a jumper lead toone <strong>of</strong> the terminals and touch the opposite lead to theother terminal. If the awning does not retract reverse theleads.Caution: Be careful when retracting the awning in thismanner as the awning may move abruptly; it will benecessary to maintain contact with each <strong>of</strong> the two screwterminals throughout the retraction process.TerminalsIf no alternative 12 volt power source is available:If power from the RV is unavailable for operation and noalternative 12 Volt power source is available,the <strong>Carefree</strong> ONE-<strong>Touch</strong> awning can be safely retracted bydisconnecting the power plug and using a reversible electricdrill fitted with the straight 9/64 hex key provided to turnthe motor.The portion <strong>of</strong> the motor that can be turned isaccessible though an opening at the base <strong>of</strong> the motorhousing.Caution: Operate the drill in reverse at a low powersetting to retract the awning.
