a lot of people do not like the fact that the instructions are very poor. and I can relate to that. However, for the price, for me, that is not an issue. after researching and reading posting after posting, I think it was an easy install. I converted my manual awning to a motorized. my awning is not an Aleko. the tube on my awning is 78mm dia which is about 15 mm bigger than what the aleko motor adapters (driver and crown) were designed for. I had to apply duct tape over the driver and the crown in order to have a nice fit inside the roller tube to make sure the key is engaged properly. It is not a plug and play in my experience but very pleased with the results. I had to play around with it in order to program the remote. but once the remote programming was completed, the limits setup was a breeze.
Just bought another one for my other retractable awning.

before you start this install. make sure you wrap something around both ends of the canvas to keep it from unrolling, i used two bungee cords, then lay the awning on a large flat surface or two sawhorses.to install, remove the end bracket, loosen the bolt on the square bracket, tap to remove from the end. unscrew the hand crank assembly. there is a Phillips head screw underneath the tube near the end. remove this screw. then you can use vise grips to grip the round metal post on the end of the tube. pull gently and remove. before you install the green motor assembly. there is a plastic cog like wheel, install this on the opposite end of the motor from the corded end. then use the black clip to clip the wheel onto the end so it will not come loose upon installation,.push motor tube into assembly gently, until seated properly. it must fit tight against the alum tube. then install bent metal clip on the square end of the motor, using one of the metal pins as shown in diagram #3, bend the ends around. then you can re-install the square bracket on the end, using the long machine bolts that you removed, they may be too long. you might have to find shorter machine screws. and screw them into the bent metal bracket. when you install the motor make sure the adjustment area is accessable, for adjustments. you will need to make sure to have an electrical plug near by. your cord is 18' long. I will be doing the adjustments another day. everyone is right, actual instructions would be very helpful. I thank the gentlemen that gave some instructions earlier, they were helpful. I wanted to give more detail.i tested the motor and it extended and retracted, just need to adjust the opening and closing. by the way I installed under the roof instead of on a wall. so the pitch of the roof will affect the front height, if you are mounting under the roof rafters, you will need to adjust the angle of the brackets or your awning will very low in the front when extended.

Incredible value for the price ! And it even comes with a remote !! I wasn't sure if it was going to work but the specs were close. If it didn't work I would just send it back to Amazon. This motor fit like a glove and it was very quiet as compared to my old motor. When you install the motor just plug it in. It will not going forward or back. Use the adjustment tool provided and start adjusting the throws forward and reverse. after doing so use the remote. It also comes with a metal rod which can be used to open the awning in case trhe motor burns out or malfunctions. I didn't read the instructions and winged it ! Very happy with the purchase and I wouldn't hesistate for a moment to purchase again or give it a reccomendation. I enclosed some photos to show you the old motor it replaced along with others for comparison....
