1 INTRODUCTION
This manual was prepared by the Manufacturer to provide the necessary information to those authorized to install
and perform special maintenance on the product. It is prohibited to remove, rewrite or in any way modify the
pages of the manual and their content.
Operations must be carried out by personnel with the technical and professional skills required by current
applicable national laws or standards.
This manual must be kept complete in all its parts in an easily accessible place.
The manufacturer reserves the right to update products and corresponding manuals without the obligation to
update previous manuals.
The manufacturer reserves all rights on this manual. It may not be reproduced in any way, wholly or in part,
without the manufacturer's written authorization.
1.1 - Symbols used in this manual
The CAUTION symbols used in this manual are given below.
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Useful advice and instructions to be observed to ensure proper installation and/or maintenance of the awning.
Failure to observe these messages may compromise the integrity and/or the resistance of the product.
CAUTION
DANGER TO OPERATOR! Instructions to be evaluated and followed carefully. Failure to comply with these
messages may compromise individual safety.
1.2 - Personnel Requirements
Personnel assigned to this operation must have technical knowledge of the product obtained either through two
years' experience or by means of a suitable technical training course.
1.3 - Required Equipment
To ensure proper installation of the awning, and consequently best operation of the nished product, the following
equipment is required:
•power screwdriver
• a level
• string
• complete tool set
• equipment for working at heights (scaffolding, ladders, aerial platforms, etc.) which are compliant with current
standards of individual safety in the workplace.
CAUTION
All of the screws used on aluminum components must be tightened with a maximum force of 20Nm (=2Kgm).
Greater tightening force causes the castings to break and damage to the stainless steel screws. It is advisable
to use dynamo-metric power screwdrivers and wrenches.
CAUTION
Use low-speed power screwdrivers. Screwing in the stainless steel screws at high speed may cause the
threads to jam, especially in the case of stainless steel/stainless steel and stainless steel/ aluminum screws
and threads.
CAUTION
In the square bar supports with double screw, be sure to evenly screw the two fastening screws of the square
bar, distributing the tightening force alternatively on the two screws up to a maximum of 20 Nm. Uneven
tightening may cause abnormal tension in the casting, causing it to fail immediately, or lead to subsequent
problems caused by external stress on the awning (e.g. gusts of wind).

the work zone (see Chap. 1.2 “Personnel requirements”) .
• Do not set objects on the fabric of the awning.
• IT IS prohibited to stand on or hang from the awning. This would create the risk of severe personal injury, as
well as damaging the awning.
• Wear personal protective equipment and clothing as required by current standards on safety in the workplace.
CAUTION
Installation, adjustment, and special maintenance of the awning must be carried out only by specialized,
skilled technical personnel.
CAUTION
IT IS necessary to ensure a distance of at least 20 INCHES between the end of the fully-opened awning
(outermost part) and any xed obstacle (wall, terrace, etc.).
CAUTION
IT IS prohibited to install or place ladders or other objects near the awning, as this would reduce the space
required for installation.
CAUTION
Never loosen the awning more than the tension in the arms as there is the risk that the awning return under
the tube and be ruined.
