TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS
OVERVIEW
A.
Adjusting Motor-limit switches
B.
Manual Override
C.
Adjusting Pitch and Elbow height
D. Motion Sensor Testing
A. ADJUSTING MOTOR LIMIT SWITCHES
TOOLS REQUIRED
Black plastic key provided with awning, or 4mm (5/32”) Allen wrench.
NOTE: The motor limit switches have been adjusted to the correct positions at the factory prior to shipment. When fully retracted the awning motor is set to stop the exact moment the awning box closes. When fully extended the fabric should be taut and the arms should be slightly bent, exposing a gap of about ¼” at the elbows.
Always check the motor limits after installation to ensure that the awning opens and closes correctly. Awning fabric can stretch over time, this will require an adjustment of the IN and/or OUT limit switch.
IMPORTANT: EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE
MOTOR LIMIT TURNS OFF AT THE EXACT MOMENT THE AWNING BOX
CLOSES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE THE MOTOR TO RUN WHEN THE
AWNING IS CLOSED. THIS WILL DESTROY THE MOTOR.
1. The motors used in Girard Systems awnings are reversible.
2. The motor has limit settings for both OUT (extension) and IN (retraction).
Page 30 of 49
3. The limit switches can be adjusted by use of the black key provided with the awning, or you may use a 4mm (5/32”) Allen wrench.
4. Extend the awning a few feet to gain access to the motor. Locate the motor. The limit adjustment screws are located on the head of the motor. Using the symbols printed next to the adjustment screws, turn the black key (or 4mm Allen wrench) to make the necessary adjustments. The motors are labeled with a + or a – to indicate the adjustment direction.
5. Approximately ¼ turn of the adjustment screw represents about 1” of awning movement. NEVER set outward limits so that the fabric is slack with full arm extension. For proper adjustment set limit switch to stop the motor just before the arms lock. This will expose about a 1/4” gap at the elbow.
Page 31 of 49
B. MANUAL OVERRIDE
1. In case of motor issues, the GG750 has a manual override to close the awning.
2. Remove the endcap opposite the motor, by removing the 3 Philips head screws.
3. Using a 13mm wrench, turn the manual override shaft in order to close the awning, see Figure 10. NOTE: The manual override is one-way, it can only close the awning.
hand version, the manual override will be on the opposite side.
(Figure 10)
Page 3 2 of 49
C.
ADJUSTING PITCH and ELBOW HEIGHT
NOTE : Adjustment of the Elbow height and pitch, will affect the height of the awning lead rail when it is fully deployed.
This adjustment is usually required after an arm replacement. Also, if the elbow of the arm hits the bottom of the casing as the lead rail closes.
Tools Required
• 17mm open-end wrench
• 19mm (3/4”) open-end wrench
• 4mm Allen wrench
1. ELBOW HEIGHT a. Extend the awning approximately 12” b. To lower the elbow: Locate screw C located on the side of the shoulder, the top bolt. (Figure 11) Using a 17mm open-end wrench, rotate the bolt n.
tighten Screw D, the bottom bolt.
c. To raise the elbow: Locate screw C located on the side of the shoulder, the top bolt. (Figure 11) Using a 17mm open-end wrench, rotate the bolt clockwise to raise the arm positio Then use a 19mm wrench to loosen
Screw D, the bottom bolt.
n.
d. Close the awning completely to ensure smooth operation, that the lead rail lies flush and square along the length of the cassette, and that the arms fold inside the cassette without interference.
Page 3 3 of 49
(Figure 11)
2. ADJUSTING PITCH a. Extend the awning to its fully extended length.
b. Locate screw A, adjustment nut located on front side of the shoulder assembly
(Figure 12, 13). Using a 17mm wrench rotate the nut counterclockwise to lower the pitch or clockwise to raise the pitch.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN AS THIS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
AWNING .
LIFTING UP ON THE ARM SLIGHTLY TO RELIEVE PRESSURE
MAY BE NECESSARY.
c. Close the awning completely to ensure smooth operation and that the lead rail lies flush and square along the length of the cassette.
Page 3 4 of 49
(Figure 12)
Page 3 5 of 49
(Figure 13)
D. TESTING THE MOTION SENSOR (Wind Sensor)
1. Partially extend the awning (at least 3 feet).
2. Physically activate the motion sensor by shaking the awning lead rail.
3. At this point the awning should retract; if not, check that there is a 12VDC supply to the motion sensor and that the motion sensor is correctly programmed.
NOTE: The Motion sensor will send a retract signal to the motor of the awning it is programmed to on the RV. If there are multiple awnings extended that begin to retract
Page 3 6 of 49
Page 30 of 49
Page 30 of 49
simultaneously under windy conditions, the power system of the vehicle must be able to withstand the resulting surge of current. The surge will be the greatest when the awnings are fully extended. When testing the system verify all of the awnings will close when fully extended.
E.
ADJUSTING THE LEAD RAIL
The lead rail on your awning has been preset at +/- 3 degrees. This allows the lead rail to rest firmly into the cassette and also creates a weather resistant seal for travel. To increase or decrease the pitch angle insert a 4mm Allen wrench into the Pitch adjustment screw, screw B (Figure 13). Turn clockwise to increase the pitch and turn counterclockwise to decrease the pitch. Ensure that the pitch adjustment screw is set evenly on all of the arms.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM:
The lead rail is binding on the side of the awning casing; i.e. the rail is offset from housing.
SOLUTION:
• Open the awning about 3 feet.
• Loosen the lead rail horizontal adjustment screws on all arms (Figure 14).
• Locate and remove the two fabric set screws that are on each end of the lead rail (Figure 14). The lead rail is now ready to be shifted.
• Retract the awning until the lead rail is about 4 inches from the fully closed position.
• Using a rubber mallet, tap the end of the lead rail to move it into the correct position.
• When proper alignment has been achieved tighten the lead rail horizontal adjustment screws (Figure 14), and then replace the fabric screws (Figure 15).

• Check to ensure that you have a minimum of 12VDC at the motor connection, if not switch on your generator or connect to shore power.
• If this does not solve the issue please call the Girard Systems service line at
(949)259-4000 or toll free at (800)382-8442.
PROBLEM:
The fabric is loose when the awning is fully extended; i.e. the roller keeps turning after the awning arms have locked open.
SOLUTION:
The motor’s OUT limits must be reset to factory standards. Please refer to the “Adjusting the Motors Limit Switches” section on page 30-31.
PROBLEM:
The motor stops before the lead rail has closed completely into the awning cassette on either or both sides. There is no apparent binding of the awning components.
SOLUTION:
The GG750 Awning is equipped with a manual override motor which has manual limit settings. The IN limit may need to be adjusted to allow the box to be closed tighter.
Refer to the “Adjusting the Motors Limit Switches” section on page 30-31.
Page 3 9 of 49
PROBLEM:
As the awning is closing, the elbow of one or more of the arms is hanging down preventing the case from closing.
SOLUTION:
Please refer to the “Adjusting Pitch and Arm (Elbow) Height on page 34-35.
COMMON REPAIR PROCEDURES
MOTOR REPLACEMENT
NOTE: Replacement procedures vary due to motor styles, placement, factory installation methods, and preferences of different vehicle manufacturers.
These variations primarily effect how the motors are accessed; replacement operations are generally the same for any situation.
A. REMOVING THE OLD MOTOR
1.
Use tie straps on either side of the awning to secure the lead rail of the awning to the cassette. The strap will slide in between the awning and coach wall on each end. Take care to leave slack in the straps so when the motor side endplate is removed the lead rail will open approximately 2" to take pressure off the awning.
2.
Identify which side the motor is located on.
Proceed to take off the motor side endcap by removing the three #3 Philips screws, there are two located on the bottom and one on top. Please take note that some RV manufacturers have requested the endcap top screw to be left out due to clearance issues with slide toppers.
3.
4 .
Proceed to take off the motor endplate. (Figure 17) Take caution pressure until it is separated from the motor. Upon removal of the plate the lead rail of the awning will open into the straps freeing the pressure from the motor.
C onfirm that there is no power heading to motor, cut motor wire close to motor leaving a small amount for warranty testing. Grip motor by the head and pull out of tube making sure to hold the roller tube to keep it in position on other end of awning.

to case to prepare for motor and tube removal. Open awning a few more inches until fabric is slack and pressure is off of fabric/motor.
Identify which side the motor is located on.
Proceed to take off the motor side endcap by removing the three #3 Philips screws, there are two located on the bottom and one on top. Please take note that some RV manufacturers have due to clearance issues with slide toppers.
3.
Proceed to take off the motor endplate. (#2 Philips, Figure 17) Take note that there will be no pressure on the endplate as long as the fabric is slack and the lead rail is being held by the tie straps.
4.
Confirm that there is no power heading to motor , cut motor wire in the middle of wire leaving enough room for reconnection on either side of wire.
Leave
5.
Visually identify the white bushing on the non motor side where the roller tube is connected.
You will need to make sure upon removal of the tube that this bushing stays installed on the non motor side endplate and doesn't get lost.
6.
Take off both lead rail endcaps and remove fabrics screws on either side of lead rail. (Figure 18)
7.
The roller tube and fabric are now ready to be removed, take caution and remove tube from housing while sliding the lead rail end of the fabric out of the channel on lead rail, make sure that the motor does not fall out of tube.
