SAFETY & WARNING ADVICE
A minimum of 2 people is necessary for proper installation.
Installation fixings will NOT be supplied with any of the Evo Awning series.
Please refer to fixing section. Each installation should be assessed on a case by case
scenario.
WARNING! –The brackets must be fixed solidly to a substantial surface. Hollow bricks or
foam products are not suitable. Brick veneer surfaces require at least 2 courses of
brickwork above the bracket and 2 courses below.
General Advice: The electrical data is shown on the label of electric operating
awnings.
TOOLS REQUIRED
The following tools are required for installation:
•Level
•Battery Drill
•Screwdrivers
•Hammer Drill
•Drill Bits
•Rubber Mallet
MAGNET CARE & HANDLING
•The magnetic field affects pacemakers, so they need to be kept outside this range
•Do not cut the magnets. They will blunt the cutting blade or shatter causing serious
injury
•Do not powder coat the magnets. The baking temperatures in the process remove
the magnetic field
•Temperatures over 130˚c remove the magnetic field
•The magnets have high forces which will cause pinch points
•The magnets are brittle and will chip/break easily. For instance, if dropped from a
workbench or released to attract together from about 75mm apart
•If the chrome plating on the surface is chipped or removed severe corrosion will
occur

OPEN ROLLER INSTALLATION
•Step 1 - Mark fixing holes for the first bracket
•Step 2 - Drill fixing holes
•Step 3 - Install the first bracket
•Step 4 - Measure overall width
•Step 5 - Repeat steps 1,2 & 3 for the second bracket
STEP 1
Mark fixing holes for first bracket based on the finished fitting scenario below.
Note: The scenarios are for motor LHS, Idle End RHS.
Minimum spacing required for recess fit.
In ceiling fit applications, the bracket needs to be 27 mm to vertical wall so the evo
MagnaTrack Channel is in the correct position and 102mm tube with skin does not rub
drive

STEP 2
•Select fasteners to mount the blind based on the substrate it is being fixed to.
•Drill fixing holes for the first bracket based on the fasteners selected from the fixing
table.
STEP 3
•Check the orientation of the motor/idle plates are correct on the universal
bracket.
•Fix the first bracket in place using the fasteners selected above, ensure the
bracket is straight using a spirit level. If required pack out the bracket.
STEP 4
•Measure the overall width to position the 2nd bracket and ensure the tube
assembly will fit between the brackets.
STEP 5
•Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the second bracket.

HEADBOX INSTALLATION
•Step 1 - Open the headbox
•Step 2 - Holes on headbox backplate
•Step 3 - Positioning and securing the headbox through the brackets.
Always secure the headbox back panel/end caps through the installation
brackets
•Step 4 - Front cover retainment in reveal fits
STEP 1
Open the headbox front cover by removing
the screw in fig H1 shown below, note for
reveal applications this screw is no longer
required. (Hbox felt not pictured)
STEP 2
•Select fasteners to mount the blind based on the substrate it is being fixed to.
•Mark and drill the clearance holes on the headbox back plate or end caps for the
74mm universal bracket and electrical cable based on the finished fitting scenario
below and the fasteners selected above.
Mark and drill additional clearance holes through the headbox back plate at intervals
of (650 to 1750mm). Ensure the clearance hole for the electrical cable aligns with a
suitable position on the installation surface
Apply protection around clearance hole for electrical cable from motor and ensure
the clearance hole for the electrical cable is large enough to fit the plug through with
the protective coating in place.
Always secure the headbox back plate/end caps through the Installation brackets.

STEP 3
•Check the orientation of the motor/idle plates are correct on the universal
brackets (FIG H2).
•Mark a fixing hole on installation surface through respective hole on headbox for
the motor side bracket.
•Drill a fixing hole on installation surface through respective hole on headbox based
on the fasteners selected for the motor side bracket.
•Secure a fastener in the motor side bracket to hold one side of the headbox.
•Mark a fixing hole on installation surface through respective hole on headbox for
the idle side bracket. Ensure headbox is level and straight using a spirit level.
•Drill a fixing hole on installation surface through respective hole on headbox based
on fasteners selected for the idle side bracket.
•Secure a fastener in the idle side bracket to hold headbox.
•Scenario 2 (CFF) may need packers between the headbox back plate and
installation surface to level the headbox.
•Scenario 3 (FFR) and 4 (CFR) may need packers between the headbox end caps
and installation surfaces to centre the headbox in reveal.
•When the headbox is centred and level, mark, drill and secure the remaining fixing
points as per steps B - G above.
•Secure the headbox back plate at the additional locations through the headbox
as noted in step 2 (Headbox Installation)
•Mark and drill the clearance hole on the installation surface for the motor
electrical cable. Take care not to damage the protection around the hole from
step 2 (Headbox Installation).
STEP 4
5mm hole is to be drilled in the front cover for reveal applications. Location of the hole
is shown in fig H3.
