5 - AWNING ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT
Before starting assembly, the person appointed to do the job must have cut the pieces
to suit the size of the awning that is to be obtained (see tab. par. 3.3).
Define the distance of the arm supports (see
fig. 3) and position them on the awning as-
sembly frame.
Assemble the fabric (see ref. 1 fig. 4) with
the roller tube (see ref. 2 fig. 4) and roll it up
completely.
Insert the cap with hole (see ref. 3 fig. 5) on
the side opposite the control (see ref. 4 fig.
5).
MANUAL AWNING:
Insert the cap with square pin (see ref. 5 fig.
6) in the roller tube (see ref. 6 fig. 6).

MOTOR-OPERATED AWNING:
Insert the motor (see ref. 7 fig. 7) in the roller
tube (see ref. 8 fig. 7).
ATTENTION
These instructions are of a general nature, so
you must follow the ones given in the motor
manual.
ATTENTION
The arm (see fig. 8) is provided with a safety band
that blocks the tightening mechanism. Do not re-
move this band until the awning has been com-
pletely assembled. Failure to respect the correct
assembly procedure may cause serious harm to
persons, animals and things in the vicinity.
ATTENTION
NEVER reuse the arm lock after removing it.
Fit the terminal bar connecting kit (see ref. 9
fig. 9) onto the end of the arm (see ref. 10 fig.
9), (box spanner 13).
ATTENTION
Ensure that the two kits are correctly fixed to
the ends of the arms.
Assemble the arms on the respective levers
of the arm supports (see ref. 11 fig. 10).
Remove the insert from the support which
goes on the side opposite the control (see ref.
12 fig. 11), (Allen wrench 5).
Perform the same operation on the other
support too.

MOTOR-OPERATED AWNING:
Assemble the motor plate (see ref. 15 fig. 14)
on the insert (Allen wrench 4).
Assemble the terminal bar (see ref. 16 fig. 15)
with the fabric (see ref. 17 fig. 15) inserting
the latter in the ogive in the terminal bar.
Assemble the insert including the plate with
pin on the cap with hole (see ref. 18 fig. 16) of
the roller tube.

If the arm holder is to be used (see ref. 20 fig.
19), proceed as follows:
insert the arm holders in the groove in the ter-
minal bar with the aid of a rubber hammer);
insert the plate of the terminal bar connecting
kit and lightly tighten the screws.
Push the arms towards the supports, centre
the terminal bar with the fabric; once this has
been checked, the terminal bar connector
screws can be tightened (Allen wrench 5).
ATTENTION
Ensure that the terminal bar is firmly fixed
to the arms to prevent their opening without
control. fig.20

tube on the control side.
Assemble the tube complete with fabric, ter-
minal bar and inserts on the arm supports,
tightening the screws (Allen wrench 5) (see
fig. 18).
ATTENTION
Do not use the screwdriver. Ensure that the
inserts are firmly fixed to the supports.

| ASSEMBLY | 17
6 - REGULATING THE AWNING
Once the awning has been assembled, to check that all the components are correctly
fitted you must:
»Make 2-3 test cycles of opening/closing the awning.
»Regulate any components that prevent the correct and unimpeded opening and closing move-
ment of the awning.
ATTENTION
Ensure that there are no persons, animals or things in the vicinity while opening/clos-
ing the awning.
Regulating the awning:
Slacken the side screw (see ref. 22 fig. 23)
of the arm support (Allen wrench 10). To
increase the inclination slacken the socket-
head screw (see ref. 23 fig. 23), (Allen wrench
8). To decrease the inclination tighten the
socket-head screw, raising the terminal bar.
After regulation, check that the terminal bar
is perfectly horizontal.
With the awning almost closed, check that
the arms are parallel.
If they are not parallel, tighten or slacken the
dowel (see ref. 24 fig. 24) in the lever (Allen
wrench 3), accompanying the arm.

7- REMOVING AND PACKING THE AWNING
7.1 - Removing
ATTENTION
The awning must be taken down by qualified personnel.
ATTENTION
The awning must be taken down when closed.
7.2 - Packing
The awning must be packed, wrapping separately the supports with the respective
arms and the tube complete with fabric, terminal bar and inserts.
IMPORTANT
After having taken down the awning, to protect it against possible blows and con-
sequent damage to its vital parts, the awning must absolutely be wrapped in good
packaging.
IMPORTANT
During packing it is necessary to pay particular attention to the delicate parts of the
awning (for example, the heads); these must be accurately protected with good pack-
aging.
IMPORTANT
Should it be decided not to use the awning for a prolonged period, it must be taken
down and packed and kept in a dry place, far from sources of heat, and sheltered from
atmospheric agents that might damage it.
Block the arms with the safety bands.
Remove the screws that block the terminal
bar connectors on the terminal bar (see ref.
25 fig. 25).
Unscrew the screws that block the inserts on
the supports and remove the tube complete
with fabric and terminal bar (see ref. 26 fig.
25).
