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. 3 par. 3.3).
Define the distance of the brackets (see fig.
3) and position them on the awning assembly
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.
Now insert the roller tube (see ref. 9 fig. 8)
including the fabric, previously rolled up, into
the bottom cassette (see ref. 10 fig. 8).
IMPORTANT
The roller tube must be inserted with the roll-
ing direction facing upwards.
Insert the nut M/14 in the lever seat and as-
semble the plate with pin.
MANUAL AWNING:
Insert the nut M/14 in the lever seat.
Assemble the crank with the screws fitted in
the slots.
MOTOR-OPERATED AWNING:
Insert the nut M/14 in the lever seat.
Assemble the motor plate.
ATTENTION
These instructions are of a general nature, so
you must follow the ones given in the motor
manual.

Fix the levers that form the side supports
onto the sides of the bottom cassette (see
ref. 11 fig. 12), ensuring that the correspond-
ing holes are aligned.
Preassemble the plate (see ref. 12 fig. 13) in
the terminal bar connecting kit (see ref. 13
fig. 13), (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, animals and things in
the vicinity.
ATTENTION
NEVER reuse the arm lock after removing it.
Fit the terminal bar connecting kit (see ref. 14
fig. 14) onto the end of the arm (see ref. 15
fig. 14), (box spanner 13).
ATTENTION
Ensure that the two kits are correctly fixed to
the ends of the arms.
Assemble the arms (see ref. 16 fig. 15) on the
respective levers (see ref. 17 fig. 15).
ATTENTION
The arm must be fitted CLOSED. Do not re-
move the safety strap provided; the arm is al-
ways under tension, if it were opened without
control it could cause serious harm to per-
sons, animals and things. fig.15

the support (see fig. 18) (Allen wrench 6).
For roof-mounted awnings, the support must
be fitted vertically and the square nut insert-
ed in the slot at the top (see ref. 23 fig. 20).
Fix the supports onto the levers, inserting the
screw in the hole provided (see fig. 19) (Allen
wrench 10).

Check that the distance of the terminal bar
connection from the outside of the terminal
bar is 47 mm (see fig. 24); once this has been
checked, the screws can be tightened.
Insert the terminal bar caps (see ref. 28 fig.
25). Check that the terminal bar is centred
with the cassette. Now try to close the awn-
ing.

Check that the awning closes perfectly.
Open the awning and fix the fabric to the ter-
minal bar. Perform two awning opening/clos-
ing cycles.
ATTENTION
Ensure that there are no persons, animals or
things in the vicinity while opening/closing the
awning.

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. 29 fig. 28),
(Allen wrench 10). To increase the inclination
slacken the socket-head screw (Allen wrench
6) (see ref. 30 fig. 28). To decrease the incli-
nation 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 to the cassette.
If they are not parallel, tighten or slacken the
dowel (see ref. 31 fig. 29) in the lever (Allen
wrench 3), accompanying the arm.
