Height of awning:
The recommended height from the ground is
2.5m-3.5m. If you want to install lower than this,
determine whether there is sucient headroom when
the awning is fully extended and that any doors can
open.
Required headroom:
– Allow 20cm above any door frame and check that
when opened the door will not interfere with the
awning.
– As a guideline, the awning has a drop of 30 cm (2m
projecon) to 45cm (2.5m projecon) at a slope of 10
degrees below the horizontal.
The recommended slope is pre-set at the factory and
should not require any major adjustment. The angle
of drop can be adjusted with a spanner any me aer
ng: from approx 15 – 30 degrees.
Horizontal posioning of brackets:
Using laser, spirit level or other method, mark an
accurate horizontal line at the required height.
Fixing must be directly into brick or concrete. Mortar
joints between the bricks or blocks will NOT be secure
enough to bolt into.
Installing onto wooden houses and chalets:
You can install 1.5m -3.0m awnings onto wooden
walls and chalets providing that the wall has adequate
strength to support the weight of the awning. Always
ensure that the wall brackets are securely ed onto the
outside of strong wooden wall studs.
The wall bolts provided in the ng kit will not be
suitable for securing to wooden studs; therefore you will
need to purchase Coach Bolts of sucient length and
diameter from your local hardware store to replace the
bolts provided. If unsure, consult a qualied structural
engineer for expert advice.
Draw a horizontal line in the posion of the required height.

If in doubt about the quality of the wall structure you
are wanng to mount the awning on, you can use an
epoxy resin product to secure the mounngs in the
wall.
1. When aaching the wall brackets on the torsion bar.
Measure the awning with a ruler and note down the
bracket posion (holes).
2. Draw a horizontal line in the posion of the required
height as shown in the diagram.
3. Make marks onto the wall, through the holes at the
base of the bracket.
Please double check your measurements thoroughly
before drilling holes into your wall, especially if you’re
using a template. We will not be held responsible for
any errors or incorrect measurements.
4. Use a hammer-acon electric drill with a 12mm bit.
Do NOT drill through mortar as this will not provide
sasfactory strength to hold the wall expansion bolts.
5. Drill 90mm holes into brick or concrete wall in exact
posion chosen for wall brackets.
6. Insert the expansion plug/sleeve all the way through
and then insert the bolt into the wall plug.
The bolt must sck out of the wall in order to aach the
wall bracket and washer. (View Step 3)

Step 3: Aach the brackets
1. Insert the plasc expansion plug/sleeve into the wall.
2. Fit the bracket into place over the washer and wall
bolt. Tighten with a socket spanner, the plasc wall
plug will expand.
3. Ensure the bracket is ght against wall before ng
the awning as the weight of the awning could pull the
brackets out of the wall. If any movement is detected,
further ghten the nuts.
Fixing must be directly into brick or concrete. Mortar
joints between the bricks or blocks will NOT be secure
enough to bolt into.
Step 4: Install the awning
Adjustment
Note:
When installing 1.5m - 3.5m awning we recommend
to use two step ladders with two people. 4.0m - 4.5m
awnings are heavy, more than three people will be
required to li the awning into place. Do not aempt
to li this awning onto the wall brackets without
assistance.
Li both ends of the awning unit unl the torsion bar
(main back bar of awning) slides into the wall brackets.
Ensure the fabric is feeding from the top and not the
boom.
Fix the retaining bolts through the wall brackets to
secure the awning unit in place. Fit the nut onto the
bolt and ghten.
Check that both the wall bracket and the retaining
bolts are ghtened securely.

The awning is usually supplied with the most ideal
pre-set angle of lt. When fully opened, the front bar
should be level. The angle can however be adjusted
(adjustment on the arms next to the awning body).
Although level when fully projected, the awning may not
be perfectly level when fully retracted – this is normal.
Note:
There are two dierent adjustments available due to
dierent awning models - Please follow the correct
adjustments, view diagrams below.
Adjustment 1:
1. Loosen the 17mm locking nuts on both sides of the
arms and then turning the 13mm jack bolts to the
desired angle.
2. Check the built-in spirit level in the middle on the
front bar of the awning. Damage could result if the
front bar isn’t horizontal.
3. Adjust the arm unl the front side is level.
4. Securely ghten up the 17mm locking nuts.
Adjustment 2:
1. Make sure the eyelet rings are inserted into the
aperture using the pins provided (2 x eyelet rings, 2 x
pins). Use the winder to turn the eyelet ring as shown
in the diagram to adjust the angle.
Note:
You will noce one eyelet is already installed on the le
hand side of the awning, use the winder to extend and
retract the awning.
2. Adjust the angle by using the winder handle and hook
around the wrist ring - turn one direcon for desired
slope. Now adjust the other side. Use the built-in
spirit level located on the centre of the front bar to
assist your desired angle.
Note:
Make sure all the angle is adjusted at the same level
- any slight mis-alignment will result in the awning
not retracng properly or when the awning is fully
projected, one side of the front bar will be higher than
the other. Ideally, project the awning fully out and then
adjust the level of the front bar by eye.

(THIS STEP APPLIES TO ELECTRIC AWNINGS ONLY)
Our awning can either be ed with a plug or wired into
the mains socket. If you choose to wire into the mains
you should consult a qualied electrician. The following
summaries how the wiring works for the wireless control
kit, indoor wall switch kit and also the wind and sun
sensor kit.
Step 6: Wiring the electrics
Step 7: Wiring the electrics – Kit A
Step 7: Wiring the electrics – Kit A
The 3 core cable can be wired into a standard 13 Amp
plug and then plugged in to an exisng socket. You
can also wire directly into the mains, complying with
any relevant regulaons. If you are unsure of these
regulaons, we recommend you consult a qualied
electrician.
If you’ve purchased a wind and sun sensor kit
please refer to the step 10.
Once the power goes to the motor, give it 5 seconds,
then press “P2”, twice then press “OPEN” (on the back
of the remote zapper, remove cover), it will then be
synchronised. If you want to change the direcon, turn
the power o, and aer 10 seconds, turn the power
back on. 5 seconds later press “P2” twice and “CLOSE”
(on the remote zapper), you will nd the direcons have
changed.
2. Press “Open” or “Close” buon to extend or retract
the awning as per your requirement. Press “Pause”
(middle) to stop the awning at the posion you want it
to be.
Warning: To operate the awning, you will need to press
the buon “Open”, “Close” or “Pause” by one click. We
would recommend that you press the Pause/Stop buon
before it extends/retracts to its maximum.
3. The remote zapper is driven by a baery. If the
baery runs out of power, you will need to purchase a
new baery.
Step 8: Limit control
Can I control how far out the awning opens?
Manual awnings
With the manual awnings, you can control the posion
of the awning by simply winding out as far you want
to go. The awning will hold at whichever posion you
wind to.
Electric awnings
The electric awning will stop automacally at the pre-set
maximum extension. It will also stop automacally when
fully retracted. We would recommend that you press the
pause/stop buon before it extends to the maximum.
This will avoid the motor over heang. If you wish, you
can posion the awning at any point between maximum
extension and fully retracted by pressing the stop buon
while the awning is extending or retracng.
Adjusng the pre-set maximum extension and fully-
retracted posions
On the le hand end of the rotang barrel, inside the
cassee are two small hexagonal bolts marked by
direconal plus and minus signs. Rotate these bolts
gently with a hexagonal key (Green Allen key provided)
to change the maximum extension and full-retracon
points.
Always make sure you count the amount of turns while
adjusng, just in case you want to go back to the original
seng
1. (White adjustment) Retracon point: Take care not
to set this to over-retract otherwise it may cause
damage to the awning. Rotang towards the negave
will reduce the amount that the awning retracts. If
for example the awning doesn’t retract properly and
has a 1-3 inch gap then adjust the white hole to +
clockwise. For example a 50cm gap will need approx
40 turns.
If you wish to set the awning so that it retracts
further, we recommend that you fully retract the
awning with the current seng allowing the motor to
turn o automacally. Then turn the hexagonal key
one quarter turn at a me towards the posive. This
should cause the front bar automacally to move in a

3. Replace the juncon box cover.
Step 9: Wiring the electrics - Kit B
To operate eecvely the sensor eecvely please
posion in an area that is fully exposed to the wind and
sun. (As per diagram)
Step 9: Wiring the electrics - Kit B
Mounng the sensor
Once the wind acvates the sensor (or spin the
turbine manually), the awning will retract back in
and nothing will operate for another 15-30mins
(Unl the sensor resets itself). Right now the
sensor “detects” a huge gust of wind and will
want to protect the awning so even if the sensor is
exposed to intense sunlight, it wont operate and
open out straight away unl 15-30mins has passed
(otherwise the awning will just go back and forth
and damage the awning).
You can reset the sensor sengs by switching o and
on from the mains power.

Once the awning is installed, it is important to note
how to properly care for the components, to make
your awning work as long and eciently as it can. The
awnings are constructed from weather resistant powder
coated metal and hard-wearing polyester fabric, and
are designed to give many years of service. Stains and
bird droppings etc. can easily be washed or sponged
away, and should not be le for prolonged periods. The
awning should always be retracted in severe weather
condions.
The hook sha, gearbox and joints on awnings should be
sprayed with silicone in order to lubricate (4-6 months).
WD-40 can also be used instead of silicone.
Framework of the awning should be cleaned at least
once every year, with a so cloth or sponge and warm
water.
Fabric on the awning should be cleaned at the very
least once every year. By using a mild detergent with
warm water and a sponge or so cloth, the fabric can
be wiped and marks can be removed making the awning
look like new.
The fabric is made from hard wearing, waterproof,
rot-proof, PU and UV stabilised 300gsm polyester and is
easy to sponge clean. It is 100% waterproof fabric so you
can cover up your awning on wet winter days.
Please note: Have the awning at an angle to allow rain
water to run o.

4General care & precauons
Step 11: How far out can the awning
open?
With the wireless awnings, you can control the posion
of the awning by simply winding out as far you want
to go. The awning will hold at whichever posion
you wind to. The electric motor will also stop at the
maximum projecon.
When the awning is fully extended, the arms are
supposed to have a slight bend (not straight).

FAQ’s
1. How far out can the awning open?
You can control the posion of the awning by simply
winding out as far you want to go. The awning will hold
at whichever posion you wind to.
2. The arms aren’t straight when its fully extended, is
that right?
The arms are designed to remain at an angle when fully
extended, this is for extra stability.
3. Is it possible to remove the winder handle o the
awning?
Yes, you can unhook the winder handle and store it
when not in use.
4. The fabric is sagging, how can I solve this problem?
Check and make sure the awning isn’t over extended
(the fabric will feed from the top of the roller, if you over
extend the awning the fabric will sag. The fabric should
always feed from the top of the roller.) Refer to step 8 to
adjust the extension points.
5. My awning doesn’t retract back in properly, what
can I do?
Check and make sure the arms are levelled. View step 5.
6. My awning doesn’t seem to project or retract
anymore when I press a buon on the remote control
zappers, what is the problem?
A. Due to safety precauons the motor will cut o (if
the user keeps extending/retracng it back and forth)
it will not operate for another 15-30 mins. Leave it and
use the winder handle to manually project and retract
the awning.
B. Check the cables are wired in correctly (loose wires
etc.)
C. Check if the remote control zapper is synchronised
properly with the wireless motor.
D. None of the above, motor is faulty.
7. How far can I operate the awning with a remote
control zapper?
Approx 15-20m radio frequency (RF) remote control
zapper (also goes through walls)
8. Can I control how far the awning opens?
The electric awning will stop automacally at the preset
maximum extension. It will also stop automacally when
fully retracted. If you wish you can posion the awning
at any point between max extension and fully retracted
by pressing the buon while the awning is extending or
retracng.
9. What is this green sck for?
To adjust extension, retracon points On the le hand
side of the motor – inside the cassee you will nd 2
adjustment holes (White and Red) Use the green sck
provided with the awning.
White = Retracon point: If for example the awning
doesn’t retract back in properly and has a 1-3 inch gap
then adjust the white hole to + clockwise. 50cm gap you
will need to turn approx 40 turns.
Red= Extension point: For example if the awning fabric
sags and projects too far then adjust the red hole
towards – minus which is an clockwise.
10. How can I adjust the slope of the awning?
Please see step 5.
12. How can I keep my awning clean?
Please see general care and precauons secon.
