Important Information (Fig. 2)

  - Above the awning there should be at least 5 courses of brickwork.

  - If you have outward opening doors you should allow a minimum of 30cm between the door frame and the awning. Where possible it is better to increase this amount to allow for a steeper angle on the awning, allowing for greater shade as well as allow light rainfall to fall off the awning.

Drilling the holes (Fig. 3 and 4)

X: Width of the awning without endcovers
Y: Frame height
C: Mounting bracket
D: Middle Support (for widths over 4.5m)

- Mark the mounting brackets (C), and if applicable, the middle support (D), levelling off at the bottom.

- When fixing into brick, drill an 8mm hole and attach the mounting brackets with the wall screws and washers provided. **

The wall screws do not require plugs and can be screwed directly into the brickwork.

**For fixing into surfaces other than brick please ensure that suitable fixings are used.

Mounting the awning (Fig. 5)

- Hang the awning on the brackets (see H in fig 5)

- Central support falls into the slot behind the screen (See G in fig 5)

- Check again that the awning is level. If not, this will need to be corrected.

- Slide the locking bolt (Fig. 6) in the slot of the mounting bracket ensuring it slides over the awning side plate and tighten securely.

Your awning is powered by plugging into a standard 3 pin plug socket. If you do not have an external power point then you will need to remove the plug, drill through the wall of your property and route the cable accordingly. To prevent moisture running into your property use a drip loop by ensuring the cable runs up to the hole rather than down to it. Likewise, you should ensure that a drip loop is used on the inside of your property.

Adjusting the awning angle (Fig. 7)

The awning comes preset to a standard angle however you can adjust should you choose.

- Using the remote control or wall switch extend the awning a short way

- The angle or pitch of the awning can be set using the left and right Allen key adjusters (see L in fig 7)

- Lift the arm or front plate slightly to take the weight off the adjusters before turning.

-Extend the awning fully to see that the desired pitch has been achieved.

- Adjust the adjuster on the other end of the awning to ensure it is level.
