SUNPRO Retractable Awning User manual
2
We thank you for your purchase of your SunPro retractable awning. SunPro awnings will give your
family the shade and protection you need on your deck or patio. You can now look forward to months
of enjoyment and memories.
Before you begin installation, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the awning and this Owner’s
Manual. Please check to insure all of the parts listed on page 5 have been included with your awning
and that you have the correct size, frame and fabric. If you ordered an optional mounting type make
sure you have those parts. They are listed on page 5.
Installation of your Awning
When unpacking your awning, take care to protect the awning from accidental damage or soiling. Do
not drop or drag the awning on the ground.
Note: When removing the clear protective wrap from the awning, do not use a knife or box cutter
to cut plastic wrap as you could accidentally slice into your awning fabric.
Note: Your awning has been shipped to you fully assembled but it is important to follow this
instruction manual to securely fasten the mounting brackets to your home and install the awning.
Please read these instructions completely before installing your awning. Please note, you will need
a helper for installation. Left and Right references are as you are facing the house. You have been
provided with the proper fasteners for mounting to your wall surface.
For the greatest enjoyment of your lateral arm awning, please mount as high on your wall as possible,
with a recommended mounting height of 9’. Yourawning is a motorized model and your electrical cord
will allow you 16’ to reach your GFI outlet. You will find your remote included in your box.
Operating your Awning
Note: If you purchased a 20’ awning, please review the CAUTION on page 18, under “Test for Proper
Operation” before using your awning. Your awning, once installed, has the ability to be opened
partially or to its full projection to suit your deck or patio design. The pitch of your awning may be
easily adjusted, up or down, from the factory setting based upon your actual mounting height. Please
see page 20, if you would like to make this adjustment.
Note: Please follow the Care and Maintenance Guidelines on pages 21 to 24 for proper use and
inclement weather precautions.
Please retain your Owner’s Manual and Installation Instructions for future reference regarding
operation, care and maintenance, troubleshooting, customer service and warranty information.
We know that you will enjoy your SunPro retractable awning by spending more time outside on your
deck or patio.
