Gang,
Many of us have a large Girard awning that is supposed to retract when the wind picks up. Mine never has...even in what I thought were strong winds.
Well thanks to Steve B. I was able to adjust mine. Its pretty simple to do.
1) Find Girard control box. Mine was located behind the electric switch panel next to entrance.
2) Take cover off of control box. (4 screws located at the corners). See picture.
3) In center of circuit board is a pot. that controls the wind speed. Mine was set to center range. I turned the pot counter clockwise to minimum position (12mph). See diagram on circuit board.
4) Put it all back together and wait for a breeze!
Cheers,
bill
