Assembly Instructions Series 4100 Aluminum Casement Window Awning

Slide the Top Trim out from Slat Section about 2 inches to provide clearance.

Next, slide the non-curved end of the Edge Rafter onto Top Trim, making sure the

opposite, curved end, of the Edge Rafter is up.

Next, slide both Top Trim and Edge Rafter back toward Slat Section and push

Edge Rafter onto Slat Section edge evenly until Slat Section and Top Trim are

completely FLUSH into Edge Rafter.

Next, fasten small screws in the two larger pre-punched holes along Edge Rafter.

(Pairs of small holes are for sidewing connections for Series 4500.)

NOTE: Support the underside of the Slats Section and apply pressure while fastening

screws.

Repeat Steps 3, 4, and 5 for Edge Rafter assembly on the other side of the awning.

Now attach Center Rafter(s). Align Center Rafter with pre-punched holes in the

center of the Top Trim ﬁrst and secure with small screws, then do the same at the

other end of the Center Rafter in the center on the Front Trim and secure with

small screws.

NOTE: Window Awnings wider than 60” need more than one Center Rafter, which will

be provided. Pre-punched holes will guide installation of multiple Center Rafters.

TIP: Use the palm of your hand ﬂat on

you to help snug them into Edge Rafter.

The awning is assembled upside down.

Note that the Slat Sections are packaged

upside down (FIG. 1A). Assemble on a ﬂat

surface.

!CAUTION: Awning parts may have sharp

edges. Use care in assembly.

Lay the ﬁrst slat out, curled edge DOWN on

your left with ends toward you. Slide each

subsequent slat into the curled UP edge on

the right (FIG. 1B).

Slats have a slight

curve to them.

Keep them this

way for assembly.

Slight curve

While keeping Slat Sections ﬂush with each other, crimp slats together at each

seam interlock with a pair of channel lock pliers about 1/4 inch in from the edge

(not too much — only enough to secure them together). Be sure to keep the

plier teeth level with slats so that you do not accidentally bend them up while

crimping.

Now, connect the Edge Rafter and Slat Section

with the Front Trim. Again, Slat Section and Front

Trim MUST be FLUSH in the Edge Rafter. With Slat

Section still secured FLUSH in Edge Rafter, slide

Front Trim toward you and ﬂush into the Edge

Rafter, aligning pre-punched holes; it will ﬁt snug.

NOTE: Only the outside edge of the Front Trim and

the curled edge of the slat are inserted into the Edge

Rafter (FIG. 4B).

Next, secure Top Trim and Front Trim with small

screws in the larger pre-punched holes at each

end of the Edge Rafter.

NOTE: It is very important that both ends of the awning (the top trim and the

front trim) along with the slat section are completely ﬂush in the edge rafters to

be able to align pre-punched holes for fastening. See FIG. 4B.

IMPROPER ASSEMBLY PROPER ASSEMBLY

Next, install Interlock Clips to secure frame to Awning: Connect Awning Slat

Section Assembly to the Center Rafter frame using Interlock Clips at each joint

where the slats interlock. Installing clips is a three-step process: (1) Find the slat

joints; (2) Insert the curved part of clip into slat joint; (3) Slide clip onto Center

Rafter. Interlock Clips are installed on the ﬂat section of the awning only, not up

on the curve. If stubborn, make sure they are straight and parallel with the slat

joint.

Align Camel Back Wall Brackets and secure them to the wall with large screws at

the correct mounting points. Make sure they are plumb and square.

Lift the front of the awning upward and insert the Top Trim into the

Mounting Bar (FIG. 2A). Lower the front of the awning slowly and

allow Support Arms to rest on the house (FIG. 2B); be sure the two

parts are completely interlocked. Align holes and secure Top Trim

to Mounting Bar with small screws from bottom side (FIG. 2C).

Temporarily attach the two loose Camel Back Wall Brackets to

the other end of the Support Arms using machine screws. Before

securing to your house, please refer to the mounting chart below

for model number and correct mounting points for your awning.

NOTE: Mounting dimension ‘A’ is measured from the top of the

Mounting Bar to the center of the Camel Back Wall Bracket.

(provided), making sure the brackets are secured in solid sheathing

at the proper points from the reference chart.
