IMPORTANT: RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, AND READ CAREFULLY.
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following safety instructions
before assembling and using the awning.
CAUTION!
Always keep children under close supervision when they are playing near the awning.
Never leave children unattended. Keep children and pets away while setting up the awning.
CAUTION!
Check your municipal by-laws prior to setting up the awning. Awnings are not allowed to be
used in some places in Canada. Please check and confirm before assembling.
It is recommended to install the awning on concrete walls. If it is necessary to install the awning on a brick
wall, install the expanding bolts directly into the bricks without using mortar. Other types of surfaces,
such as wood or plasterboard, are not strong enough to support this awning especially in windy, rainy, or
snowy conditions.
1. Never use the awning in extreme weather conditions. This could cause damage to property and/or
injury to the user.
2. Before installation, make sure there is enough space to extend the awning without any obstructions.
3. At least 3 adults are needed for the installation.
4. Install this awning at a minimum height of 10’ (3 m) above the ground.
5. When working at a higher height, always use a suitable ladder.
6. Keep the awning’s fabric away from fire sources and flammable objects.
7. Do not place any heavy objects on top of the fabric at any time.
8. Check the awning regularly to make sure all bolts and nuts are securely tightened. If any are loose,
tighten them immediately.
9. Do not stand on the awning while cleaning it or when performing maintenance on surrounding
windows or doors.
10. Only use original parts and hardware. Using replacement parts and hardware not recommended
by the manufacturer could cause a safety risk to the user and damage to the awning.
11. Retain the original packaging to store the awning.
12. Store the awning in a dry and clean area.
13. Use a clean cloth to remove any manufacturing residues from the awning before first use. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning the awning on a regular basis.
14. Install the wall brackets with the hinge mechanism facing out. Otherwise, the awning cannot be
fully closed.

Choosing a Location for the Awning
1. Choose an appropriate place on the wall at least 10’ (3 m) above the ground.
2. Mark the chosen height and draw a 12’ (3.7 m) horizontal line matching the awning frame.
Mark the left and right endpoints of the line. See figure below.
3. From each endpoint, measure 4” (10.2 cm) inward and mark the location. These locations
are where the left and right wall brackets will be mounted.
4. Mark the midpoint or centre of the two locations (see figure below). The midpoint is where
the middle bracket will be mounted and should be equal distant from the other two
bracket locations.
≥ 10’ (3 m)
4” (10.2 cm)
≥ 10’ (3 m)
centre
4” (10.2 cm)
Note:
Proper location of the brackets is the most important aspect of mounting the awning.
Make sure the middle bracket is positioned correctly to fit the space in the centre of the
awning frame. If not, the awning cannot be retracted fully.
Install the wall brackets with the hinges facing out. If not, the awning cannot be retracted
fully.

Insert the expanding bolts (A) with the lead sleeves (E) inside the drilled holes. Use a hammer if necessary.
While inserting the bolt, make sure the bolt head faces the drilled hole.
2. Mounting the wall brackets
Align the holes of the wall brackets (1) with the protruding threads of the expanding bolts (A).
Mount the wall brackets (1) onto the expanding bolts (A).
Secure the wall brackets (1) in place using the flat washers (B), spring washers (C), and M12 nuts (D).

3. Installing the awning
Lift the awning and insert the supporting bar (4) into the wall brackets (1).
Make sure that the middle bracket is located at the centre of the supporting bar of the awning frame.
4. Securing the supporting bar
Secure the supporting bar (4) on the wall brackets (1) by inserting the three fastening bolts (F) up
through the holes on each wall bracket.
Place the washer and M10 nut on each fastening bolt. Tighten the nuts with a wrench to secure the
bolts.
CAUTION!
When placing the awning on the wall, the crank loop should be facing downward,
perpendicular to the ground. The awning arms can swing out while installing if held
incorrectly.

If the supporting bar cannot be easily fitted to the wall brackets, slightly lift the front side of
the awning.

CAUTION!
When the awning is fully opened, the left and right lateral arms stay bent. This is normal.
Do not continue to crank the awning once it is fully opened in an attempt to straighten
the arms.
Note:
Make sure the crank handle is parallel to the wall. If the handle is angled, the awning will
not open or close.
Always remove the crank wand from the crank loop and store it in a safe place when
not in use.
2. Adjusting the front bar angle (12–45 degrees)
Loosen the locking nuts (13) on both ends of the awning.
Turn the jack bolt (12) clockwise or counter-clockwise to achieve the desired angle.
To level the front bar (9), use the built-in level (8) located in the middle of the bar for reference.
Fasten all locking nuts (13) when the desired angle is achieved.
