4.7.5 HANDLE REGULATION AND LOCKING IN THE BRACKET

DT-E 11.13 SUN PROTECTION SYSTEM –SIDE AWNING BORA
Eddition 7 / March 2021 / EN page 19 / 29
To lock the handle in the bracket: Before putting the handle in the bracket pull out the safety pin and set in „withdraw”
position with a 90° turn. Then hook the handle by its excision (pointed with an arrow on the drawing) to the pin. Hold the
handle and check correctness of the mounting. If the mounting is correct, release the safety pin. This element locks the
handle in the bracket and secures it from springing out.
4.8 MANUAL DRIVE
The Bora awning has a side cover pull system. The awning is opened and closed manually thanks to the torsion spring used
inside the awning, while maintaining the tension of the fabric. The awning is opened with a handle, which is then locked in
the handle bracket.
In order to properly lock the handle in the handle bracket, it is necessary:
Before putting the handle (pos.1) in the bracket (pos.2) pull out the safety pin (pos. 3) and set in „withdraw” position with a
90° turn. Then hook the handle by its excision (pointed with an arrow on the drawing below) to the pin. Hold the handle
and check correctness of the mounting. If the mounting is correct, release the safety pin (pos. 3). This element locks the
handle in the bracket and secures it from springing out.
The lower part of the front bar should be directed to the magnet located in the post of the permanent bracket (according to
the information on the drawing).
Locking the handle in the handle grip Directing the lower part of the
front bar to the magnet in the post
Closing the awning is done by releasing the handle lock and rolling it up manually until the front bar is placed in the awning
cassette.
