(F) and a valance with scalloped edge(G).
3. You should also have three fabric liner cords(H).
4. Thread the fabric liners through both ends of the large awning fabric(F) as
well as the valance(G).
5. Once the liners are threaded through the fabric, find the roller tube.
Thread the fabric and its liner through the slot in the roller tube all the way to
the end.Note:the fabric has a front and a back side. The back side has a
hem, and should face downwards. Then thread the other end of the awning
fabric through the slot in the front bar(Wedge-shaped piece). Thread the

Proper location of the brackets is the most important aspect of the awning
installation. It is critical that you fasten all the mounting brackets to studs,
joists, headers or other major structural components.
CAUTION
Failure to securely fasten all the brackets to the wall could result in the collapse
of the awning and cause personal injury or death.

WARNING
Failure to securely fasten all the brackets to the wall could result in the collapse
of the awning and cause personal injury or death.
Preparing for Mounting
1. Now that all of your holes are drilled, then insert the expansion bolts.
2. It may be necessary to drive the bolts in with a wooden (or other non-metallic)
mallet.
If a mallet is necessary for installation, we recommend placing the nut on
the screw (loosely) before hammering to avoid damaging the bolt threads.
2. Using a 14mm masonry drill bit, drill the first bolt hole approximately 8 cm
deep, as shown in the diagram. This must be drilled through solid brick or
concrete to offer the necessary support for the awning.
All bolt holes must be aligned vertically and horizontally to ensure that the
awning hangs straight.
Double check alignment before drilling if you are not certain.
The diameter and depth of your mounting holes must be the same size as the
expansion bolts.
3. Drill the remaining holes exactly as in step 2.
Drilling the Bolt Holes
1. Now that you have a straight level line
across the wall with the locations of the
wall brackets and their bolt holes marked,
you can drill holes to mount the brackets.
Drill 8 cm deep

9. After installation on the left
side, then insert right side of the
roller bar into A2 hole, and then
tighten the bolts on A2 by wrench.
8. Then insert the left side of the roller bar into A1 hole.
3. Make sure that the bolts are firm in place, yet let them stick out of the wall
approximately 2.5 cm or less-enough that the wall bracket can be installed
onto them. Firmly tighten the bolts with a 19 mm hex key. It is best to use the
hex key with a closed end rather than an open end to avoid damaging the nut,
should it slip.

10.Open the awning with hand crank E.
If you find that the cloth surface has fallen down. Please retract the
cloth surface 3-5cm to ensure that the cloth surface is in a tight state.

Attention!
1. Keep this product away from heat and flame.
2. Do not use this product in the rain or in strong winds.
3. Do not leave leaves or water too long on the roof.
4. Do not hang any clothes on any part of awning.
5. You should often check if the fixed barcket has become loose in the
wind. If it is loose, please contact a professional to fix.
6. Make sure that the place where you install the awning is strong enough
to support the weight of the product.
7. Close your awning during the winter,in case the snow increases its
loads.
When we fully unfold the awning, we may find that the left and right sides
of the awning are unbalanced. At this time, we need to adjust the
inclination of the awning so that the left and right sides of the awning can
be on the same horizontal line.
Tips: You can adjust only the left side or only the right side, you can
also adjust both left side and right side. The inclination of the awning is
up to you, but please remember the left side and right side should be
on the same horizontal line finally.
