Optional Upper Mounting

Bracket Installation

This procedure is O NLY needed if replacing support arm

assemblies that had upper mounting brackets. This will

avoid making additional holes in the unit. If upper brackets

are NOT needed, proceed to the Conversion section.

If replacing support arm assemblies that had upper

mounting brackets (Fig.1A) that straddled the awning rail

(Fig.1B), exchange the angle bracket already attached

to the new support arm assembly with the new provided

upper mounting bracket, bolt and nylon locking nut.

1. On the new power awning support arm assembly, drill

out the four rivets holding the original upper mounting

bracket supports to the support arm assembly (Fig.2A).

Set the two upper mounting brackets aside.

2. Align the new upper mounting bracket bolt guide

(Fig.3A) at the top set of holes of the support arm

assembly (Fig.3B).

Conversion

Dometic Manual Awning to Solera 18V Power

Awning

NOTE: All screws supporting the awning assembly must

have a backer within the structure of the wall of the unit.

NOTE: This manual will refer to the “drive side” and “idler

side” throughout for various instructions. The “drive side” is

the right hand side of the awning when facing the awning

from the exterior of the unit. The “idler side” is the left

hand side of the awning when facing the awning from the

exterior of the unit.

When converting a Dometic Manual Awning to a Solera

18V Power Awning, the converted awning will be

approximately 2” wider than the initial awning. Be sure

there are no obstructions that may interfere with the

installation of the support arm assemblies PRIOR to

beginning the conversion process.

1. Unlock the travel locks, move the cam lock to the roll out

position and extend the awning approximately 12”.

2. Insert a cotter pin (Fig.5C) into the end cap (Fig.5A)

at each end of the awning.

3. On the drive side of the awning, and with an assistant

holding the roll tube, use a ⁄” socket to remove the

bolt securing the drive head (Fig.5B) to the support arm

(Fig.5D).

3. Insert the provided #10 - 32 x 2 ½” screw (Fig.4A)

through the support arm assembly, through the upper

mounting bracket bolt guide and into the other side of the

support arm assembly.

4. Attach the provided #10 - 32 Nylon Locking nut to the

bolt to hold the bracket in place (Fig.4B).

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the other support arm assembly.

6. Set the support arm assemblies aside and proceed with

the Conversion section.

NOTE: Once the support arm assemblies with the new

upper mounting brackets are ready to be installed, use

the same holes located in the unit wall that were left when

removing the old arm assemblies.

HANDLING COULD CAUSE DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY

OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

8. Firmly take hold of the drive head with a pair of locking

pliers (Fig.8). Remove the cotter pin from the end cap and

move the cam lock to the roll up position.

NOTE: Padding the locking pliers will prevent the

scratching of components.

9. Slowly release all of the tension by rotating the drive

head with the locking pliers.

10. Using an appropriately-sized drill bit, drill out the rivets

securing the end cap to the roll tube.

12. Place the Solera end cap (Fig.10B) on the end of the

roll tube (Fig.10A), making sure it is properly seated and

the roll tube channel is aligned with the channel on the

end cap.

13. Secure the Solera end cap to the roll tube with the

provided rivets.

NOTE: It may be necessary to drill out the previous holes

in order to accommodate the larger-sized rivets.

14. Pull the cotter pin from the idler side end cap, making

sure to keep a rm hold on the roll tube to avoid injury or

damage to the unit. (Pulling the cotter pin allows the roll

tube to turn for installation of the drive head).

15. Insert the Solera drive head assembly shaft (Fig.11B)

into the end cap (Fig.11A).

NOTE: When identifying the drive head assembly from the

idler head assembly, the drive head assembly will have an

override plug (Fig.11C). The idler head assembly will not.

Fig.10

16. Align the holes in the shaft and end cap and secure

with the provided #8 - 32 x ½” wax screw (Fig.12A).

FAILURE MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE ROLL TUBE

AND HEAD MAY RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS

INJURY, DAMAGE TO THE UNIT AND/OR VOIDING A

WARRANTY.

NOTE: Keep the head of the wax screw ⁄” from fastened

to avoid compromising the structural integrity of the wax screw.

17. Place the drive support arm assembly directly under

the awning rail so the top of the mount arm is touching the

bottom of the rail.

18. Slide the drive support arm assembly outward to align

below the holes of the awning previously removed before

securing the upper bracket.

NOTE: Silicone sealant MUST be used on all screws and

holes to prevent water from inltrating the unit.

NOTE: Do NOT install fasteners to the lower and middle

sections of the wall mount arm at this time.

20. Re-install the cotter pin to the idler side end cap.

To properly align the hole for the cotter pin, it may be

necessary to slightly move the awning in or out using

the extend/retract switch. See Operation section in this

manual.

21. Repeat Steps 3-19 for the idler side of the awning,

skipping all cam lock instructions.

NOTE: Because the converted awning is approximately

2” wider than the previous awning, the support arm

assembly on the idler side will NOT align with the previous

holes. It is the customer’s responsibility to ll in/seal any

and all holes left on the unit after installation.

NOTE: The idler head does NOT have a cam lock. The

cotter pin is holding all the tension of the spring assembly.

NOTE: Be sure to handle the assembly with care and

always have a secure hold of the idler head.

22. Once the drive and idler side conversions are

complete, cut the nylon ties containing the support arm

assemblies.

23. Use the operation switch at the bottom of the drive

arm assembly to fully extend the awning. See Operation

section of this manual.

24. Remove the manual pull strap from the roll tube.

NOTE: If the drive arm’s battery is not charged, plug the

battery wires into the charger and the charger into a 110V

outlet. See Charging the Battery section in this manual.

The awning should become operational within ve minutes

after being plugged in.

25. Remove the wire covers on the drive support arm

assembly to expose the lower and middle sections of the

mount arm.

19. To secure the drive support arm assembly:

A. If using the original angle bracket on the new

support arm assembly, secure the upper section of the

drive mount arm to the unit with two of the provided

#14 - 10 x 1 ¼” screws (Fig.13).

B. If using the upper mounting bracket, attach the upper

mounting bracket (Fig.14A) of the assembled support arm

assembly, using the previously removed screws.

Go through the top holes of the upper mounting bracket

and into the pre-existing holes in the wall of the unit. All

screws supporting the awning assembly MUST have a

backer within the structure of the wall of the unit.
