Re Tension Dometic Awning

Step 1 prepare to re insert the cotter pin.

Re tension dometic awning.

Dometic door awnings are available in white black champagne and silver as well as in manual and electric versions. I got the first panel done and assumed that all i had to do was wind the entire tube 8 turns etc. The dometic door awning is totally enclosed in an all metal case. I am making a new fabric panel to replace the 2002 tablecloth fabric that disintegrated.

Once you ve reassembled both arms check the awning tension. View a complete step by step instructional tutorial for replacement of a new or damaged solera manual awning spring assembly. You do not need to put the screws back in. The tension arms are what you adjust to make the awning taut after it has been lowered.

When you release the tension in the spring the cotter pin that is inserted in the holes in the awning arms are removed. 1 lower the awning so the roller tube is as close to the ground as possible. Remove the 2 phillips head screws from the bottom end of the outer section. If it s suitable you re finished.

2 the support arm consists of an outer and inner section. Loosen the tension knob you tightened at the beginning of the process. For more information call 5. Roll the awning back up to observe how tight it is.

Reattach the rear awning leg and lower both leg sections completely. Slip the end of the support arm back into the tension arm and tighten the screws. The cotter pins are the ones that lock the spring tension securely while taking down the rv awning.
