WARNINGS&CAUTIONS

CAUTION:

WARNING:

CAUTION:

Lifting Hazard - Use extreme caution when

lifting arm off bottom mounting bracket. If not

controlled, Fabric Roller Tube Assembly could

cause back injury and or damage to RV and

Awning.

Water Pooling Hazard - Whenever heavy rain

is expected, the awning must be placed in the

storage position. Pooling of water on top of the

awning fabric will make the awning unstable,

causing the arms and roller tube to bend or

collapse. Never release lift handle locks with

water pooled on canopy. This could result in

personal injury or death, and damages to aw-

ning and/or RV.

Pinch Hazard - Always check to ensure the

lock lever is in the roll down position. Failure

to place lock lever in the roll down position will

allow the awning to roll up unexpectedly and

quickly, resulting in pinching of hand, arm and

possibly damaging the awning.

Page 4:

On Universal Plus models - Be sure to follow

the instructions inside of the hardware arm re-

garding proper stowing. Attempting to stow the

rafter on the foot at the base of the water dump

device could damage the hardware.

SUNCHASER, 8500 AND 9000 AWNING USER GUIDE

FIG. 3

1. Pinch lock to release rafter from main assembly and

loosen rafter knobs. See FIG. 1.

2. Use the pull rod to hook and pull down lock lever. See

FIG. 2.

3. Hook the pull rod in the loop on the pull strap and pull

awning all the way out. See FIG. 3.

4. Swing rafter out and towards the roller tube end cap.

Hook the rafter claw onto torsion rod inside of the

end cap. See FIG. 4.

4a. When opening an awning with Short Universal

Hardware, pull on the rafter claw to telescope the

two inner channels out of the assembly. The inner

most channel must extend out until the spring button

pops in the hole on the upper surface of the middle

channel. Hook the rafter claw onto torsion rod inside

of the end cap. See FIG. 4a.

5. While stretching fabric taut, tighten knob. Repeat on

opposite side. The rafter in the arm with the water

shed feature is positioned higher, this could make

tightening of the knob more difcult. The knob is de-

signed with a groove. Insert the end of the 23” wire

handle (supplied) in the groove and tighten the knob

by turning the handle. See FIG. 5 & 5A.

6. Slide pull strap to the right hand end of the roller

tube and wrap around arm. See FIG. 6.

7. While holding arm, pull up on lift handle to release

and lift awning to desired height. Release handle

and allow lock button to engage into a hole in adjust-

able arm. Repeat on opposite end. See FIG. 7.

CAUTION:

8. To place the awning in the carport position, press the

release lever on the bottom mounting bracket and

pull the arm away. Move to a vertical position, and

secure in place with stakes. Raise to desired height.

Repeat on opposite end. See FIG. 8.

Important: Never leave the roller tube level with the

awning rail, adjust both arms of the Universal Hardware

7 to 8 adjustable arm holes below awning rail (fabric

slope approximately 10 degrees). Sunchaser hardware

should be in the water shed position. See FIG. 9. If light

rains are expected, place the awning in the water shed

position. See FIG. 9.

WARNING:

Note: Universal hardware is designed with a water dump

feature that will lower one side of the awning to allow wa-

ter to run off. Before the water dump feature will operate

as designed, lower both arms 7 to 8 holes (fabric slope

approximate 10 degrees) lower than the other arm before

it is in the water dump conguration. See FIG. 9.

Important: If the 8485000 hardware is used with a

tension rafter the water dump feature is disabled. The

awning must be placed in the dump position the same

as the 8275000 hardware.

Note: Sunchaser Model Series 8275000 hardware is not

equipped with the water dump feature and one arm must

be an additional 7-8 holes (fabric slope approximately 10

degrees) lower than the other arm before it is in the water

dump conguration. See FIG. 9.

Note: Never leave an open awning unattended.

1. When in carport position, remove stakes from the

ground and unwrap pull strap. Grasp the upper arm

with both hands, and raise lift handle to release lock

button. Lower arms to their shortest position against

the stops. See FIG. 10.

2. Make sure the lock lever on the awning right hand

torsion is in the roll down position.

WARNING:

3. Snap the patio foot into the bottom mounting bracket

on the coach side wall. Repeat on opposite side.

See FIG. 11.

4. Loosen knob and unhook the rafter end from the tor-

sion top casting.

a. If using Short Universal Hardware, telescope the in-

nermost channel into the middle channel by pressing

down on the spring button and pushing the channel

inward. Make sure that the innermost and middle

channels will telescope freely into the outermost

channel before attempting to roll up the awning.

5. For Sunchaser models, swing rafters back against

side wall resting on top of the patio foot in the arm

assembly. See FIG. 12. Repeat for opposite side.

For Universal models do the same thing on the side

without the water dump feature. However, on the wa-

ter dump feature install the end of the rafter on the

pin at the top of the gas spring. See FIG.12a.

CAUTION:

6. Grasp pull strap in left hand and move towards the

center of the roller tube. Hook the pull rod in the pull

strap loop.

Important: Do not release pull strap. Awning is under

spring tension and it could roll up unexpectedly and

quickly against the vehicle side.

7. While holding the pull strap, push the lock lever on

the right awning cap to the roll up position. See FIG.

13.

8. Control the speed of the awning and allow it to roll

up, while moving the pull strap diagonally to the left

or right to prevent it from bunching up.

9. Squeeze the rafter into the main arm until a click is

heard. This will indicate it is locked in place. Tighten

knobs on both sides to secure in place.

SUNCHASER, 8500 AND 9000 AWNING USER GUIDE

1. Whenever the awning is wet while rolled up, as soon

as conditions allow, roll it out and let it dry before

rolling it up again.

2. Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on the

accumulated dust, dirt and grime. Periodically clean

vinyl or woven acrylic. Refer to cleaning instructions

below for fabric care.

3. Always make sure the awning is extended high

enough before opening the entry door.

4. Apply silicone spray lubricant as needed to keep the

awning’s moving parts operating smoothly. For ease

of operation on hardware, rub candle was on all slid-

ing surfaces.

5. 8500 and SUNCHASER:

a. Abrasion, weather and long hours in the sun

are vinyl’s worst enemies. To avoid these problems,

you will need to keep your awning fabric clean. Use

a mixture of 1/4 cup dish soap, 1/4 cup bleach and

ve gallons of fresh water. Soap the open awning

with this mixture, then roll it up and let stand for ve

minutes. Rolling up of the awning will apply the mix-

ture to the underside of the fabric. Unroll the awning

and hose off the top and bottom with clean water.

Repeat if necessary and allow to completely dry.

C CARE AND USE

6SUNCHASER, 8500 AND 9000 AWNING USER GUIDE

6. 9000 :

a. In addition to its beauty and soft translucence,

woven acrylic fabric offers the advantages of strength

and breathable. It is water repellent; but because it is a

woven cloth, it is not water proof. To keep your acrylic

awning clean, simply hose it off occasionally and let it

dry. Do Not Scrub.

b. Avoid touching the underside of the 9000

canopy when it is wet. To do so will break the surface

tension of the water and encourage seepage through

the fabric.

c. Because woven acrylic is of a much lighter

weight than vinyl, shifting may occur if the awning and

pull strap are not centrally aligned with the fabric roller

tube while the awning is being rolled up. If necessary,

roll the awning out and adjust the alignment.

7. When To Get More Help:

a. If malfunctions occur that cannot be corrected by

reviewing this user’s guide, contact a qualied Dometic

service technician.

Note: A slight “travel line” may appear where the door roller

contacts the awning fabric. This is considered normal and

does not affect the integrity of the awning.
