(Refer to Figure 1 on page 1.)
Lay out the mounting area for the Slider OtD.
•
The mounting area must be flat and unobstructed. It may be necessary to cut the trim molding and or
use a spacer to provide the proper mounting surface and clearance for the latch mechanism to be
operated. If a spacer is required, a polypropylene sheet measuring 6" x 26" x (required thickness)
works well.
•
Mark the desired centerline of awning when in the travel position. This typically coincides with the
centerline of the door entrance.
•
From the centerline, confirm that there is adequate clearance toward the rear of the coach for the
awning to be moved to the travel position. Adjust the centerline as required to prevent the awning from
interfering with any existing equipment such as awnings, light fixtures, exhaust vents, openings, etc.
•
From the centerline, mark a vertical line 4 inches toward the front of the coach. This will be the location
of the front edge of the mounting plate.
•
Measure a minimum of 4 inches above the door flange. This will be the location of the bottom edge of
the mounting plate.
