1. Determine console mounting height
Positioning
The projection area of the awning must be
free of any rigid or mobile obstacle. The
minimum distance (Fig. 10/X) between the
end rail and a rigid or mobile object must be
at least 40 cm. The minimum height (Fig.
10/Y) between the end rail and the ground
must be at least 180 cm. If these
specifications cannot be met, appropriate
safety measures must be applied to the
building (e.g. fencing).
2. Align brackets horizontally.
Use a spirit level or string to align the
mounting holes horizontally.
3. Transfer the drilling diagram (Fig. 12).
