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

STEP 2
Prepare Evo MagnaTrack channels.
Remove front cover by inserting a flat head screwdriver under the end cap and lifting
out. Then gradually work along the length of the extrusion. Forcing off the front cover.
•Select fasteners based on what substrate channels are being attached to.
•Depending on the fasteners chosen, this dictates the horizontal position of the
holes (See FIG J1).
•Mark and drill the clearance holes for the fasteners as required from the
diagrams below.
NOTES:
•Wood screws to have at least 65mm embedment.
•Masonry screws to have at least 40 mm embedment.
•If side channels need to be trimmed, perform this at the
bottom end of the channel.

SECTION 2.1: FACE FIT - ASSEMBLE BOTTOM BAR
STEP 1
Connect motor to power and lower the skin to waist height from ground.
STEP 2
Feed bottom rail onto skin.
•Use silicon spray to lubricate the bottom rail and bottom of fabric groove to
reduce friction.
•Slide the bottom rail onto the fabric.
•The keder tail is folded up so it is out of the way during this process.
•Stop at the spline.
NOTE: THE BOTTOM RAIL IS HEAVY. BOTTOM RAIL MUST BE SUPPORTED WHILE FEEDING
BOTTOM RAIL TO ENSURE NO DAMAGE TO THE FABRIC SKIN.

16 | P a g e
STEP 3
Fasten probes onto the keder.
•Start on Idle side.
•Remove the screws from the probe.
•Fold the keder out of the way.
•Insert the probe into the bottom rail.
•Release the keder and slide the probe out of the bottom rail while guiding the
keder flaps into the slot.
•Ensure the flap of the keder is fully inside the slot on the probe before securing
(fig B1).
•Fasten the probe screws into the keder flaps (fig B2).
•Slide the bottom rail over the probe and screws 12-22 mm so the probe can be
installed on the other side, then repeat the process (fig B3).
Note the brush will also slide in the bottom rail.
•Slide bottom rail back to the middle position once both probes are located
inside the bottom rail and secured to the keder.
