the roller tube (see ref. 2 fig. 6) and roll it up
completely.
Insert the cap with hole (see ref. 3 fig. 7) on
the side opposite the control (see ref. 4 fig.
7).

Insert the gasket (see ref. 7 fig. 9) into the
cassette profile.
Place the cassette profile on the brackets.
Insert the same number of plates (see ref. 8
fig. 9) as there are brackets.
Fix the profile with the screws (see ref. 9 fig.
9).

ATTENTION
Where necessary, mount the central conveyor
(see ref. 11 fig. 11) (see tab. 3.4); attach the
lower conveyor to the cassette and the upper
one to the terminal bar.
Preassemble the plate (see ref. 12 fig. 12) in
the terminal bar connecting kit (see ref. 13
fig. 12), (Allen wrench 5). The screws must
not be fully tightened.
ATTENTION
The arm is provided with a safety band that
blocks the tightening mechanism. Do not
remove this band until the awning has been
completely assembled. Failure to respect the
correct assembly procedure may cause seri-
ous harm to persons and animals and damage
to objects in the vicinity.
ATTENTION
NEVER reuse the arm lock after removing it.

Assemble the terminal bar with the fabric and
the connectors premounted on the arm. In-
sert the gasket in the terminal bar slot (see
ref. 40 fig. 31).
ATTENTION
Before assembling the terminal bar, insert the
plate of the central conveyor, if fitted. fig.31

Fix the head plates (see ref. 34 fig. 28) to the
profiles.
ATTENTION
The wire of the motor can be made to come
out at the side through the hole in the plate
(see fig. 28); to make it come out at the rear
of the cassette profile, a hole must be made
in the latter. fig.28

ATTENTION
Ensure that the terminal bar is firmly fixed
to the arms to prevent their opening without
control.
After checking the screws securing the ter-
minal bar are tight, remove the bands from
the arms and open/close the awning. If nec-
essary, adjust the inclination of the arms (see
para 6).
After checking the awning closes perfectly,
fix the fabric to the terminal bar.

35) and the cassette caps (see ref. 43 fig.
35). Perform two awning opening/closing
cycles.
