Installation Manual
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 WARNING 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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
In the wall/ceiling 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).

INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
The instructions that follow are of a general nature and must therefore be adapted to the model of awning
being assembled.
1) Before starting installation, take note of the following information, which is indispensable to nd the right
position for fastening the brackets:
• dimensions of the awning (see Chap 3.1)
• dimensions of the mounting brackets (see Chap. 3.6)
• number of shoulders (see Chap.3.2)
• side of awning where operation is located;
• dimensions of the wall/ceiling where the awning is to be installed.
FIG. 5
(For the support and bracket positions, see Chapter 3.3).
2) Using a string and a level, mark the position of the holes to be made on the wall.
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
To facilitate the installation process, pages 11 and 12 may be printed in A4 format for use as templates to nd
the best positions for the holes.
WARNING
To avoid gross errors, make sure the print out scale is 1:1, checking the measure indicated on the paper with
a ruler or caliper in relation to the dimensions indicated on page 9 with automations it is obligatory to install
