Aleko Awning Problems

[@Rrms2006]

Installed this model just today today and had many of the same problem; but I continued to adjust and it ultimately works just fine

[@MrDionstarrr]

Thanks for the update on yours. I hope it serves you well. I keep mines rolled up most of the time now.

Adjust the open/close stop position on the motor. While opening the awning turn the adjustment so that when the awning is fully open/closed the motor will stop. Also for the uneven canopy u will have to unravel it fully to get it to reset this means unhooking the arms from the front bar. HAVE PEOPLE WITH U HOLDING THE BAR or u will have a bad experience when that bar shoots in either direction. Just need 1 person on each side to hold the bar so it don't shift while your disconnecting the arms. Once disconnected unravel the awning fully then retract while holding the awning and keeping it tight. Once it's straight reconnect the arms and enjoy.

Have the same model/problem but I have adjusted while fully extended (adjust bar-links left/right + arms to be same hight). As you retract it re-tune the arms right before closing it - arms should all be at same angle (horizontally/vertically). Hope this helps ;)

I'm so done with this thing. Haven't touched it since I made these videos. Aleko sent me the parts to replace one of the arms that got bent due to it malfunctioning. But I can't find the time or motivation to take the whole damn thing down. Gotta find someone to help me do it. Gotta find a second latter. Then fix it. Then put the heavy sucker back up there 🤦🏾‍♂️ never again

Thank you for this good info! ❤️ Might anyone know why a similar (manual) awning won't close? It was a little crooked but worked fine; my son leveled it and now it won't close!

you have the roller backwards. The canopy unrolls from the top of roller, not the bottom.

[@MrDionstarrr]

Are you talking about the center roller support piece? With all the little rollers?

[@madcozzy]

@@MrDionstarrr No - the actual roller with fabric. At the end, the roll goes back with the fabric on top - but in the beginning, the fabric was coming from the bottom of the roller... It should be extending from the top of the roller and going back the same way (the motor will simply reverse). Instead, what looks to be happening is the motor is continuing in the same direction, and rolling the fabric back the opposite way. Not how it is supposed to work. Did you set the open and close stops on the motor? The way this is working now, the tension will not stay consistent. The roller support (the piece you have in the middle of the roller that is bolted to the support, with the 5 nylon wheels) is supposed to support the fabric unrolling from the top of the roll, not the bottom. That alone will cause tension and possible tearing eventually. Check some other videos and you will see what I mean...

[@MrDionstarrr]

@@madcozzy I see what you're saying. Yes you're correct. However I do have the awning rolling from the top down as you stated. In the beginning of the video you will see that it unrolls from the top with a tension as it unrolls. But the problem was that the awning keeps unrolling to a point where it then begins to roll the awning back in, but in the reverse manner (rolling in from the bottom, instead of the top how it's designed to). So that's why it looked like I was unrolling it wrong in the middle of the video. I tried setting the limiters. But it seemed like I was spinning them forever and nothing was really happening.

How did you replace the gear? Take the awning off completely?

[@VintageNolaBr]

Arm brackets might be too tight ?

[@SCRDolo]

are u still selling the jeep srt?

[@brabus343]

I installed 2 today. That's the worst brand of awnings

[@begarza8218]

We are trying to install this brand of awning out by our pool as free standing we aren’t even sure the brackets are going to be strong enough to hold the canopy. It has been a beating just putting it together. Today we finally got someone over to help us mount it and couldn’t get the bolts in the mounts that holds the bar in the brackets.
