Locate wall studs and position Wall Brackets. Attach Wall Brackets to wall. Note: Screws must hit solid wood. Do Not attach
to sheeting, siding, flashing, or any other non-structural surface. When marking the location of the awning, please note the
crank/motor will overhang 2 1/2" to the side of the fabric and the opposite side will overhang 1". The fabric width is 5" less
than the Wall Bracket width.
Once the Wall Brackets are mounted and level, insert the end of the Roller Bar opposite the crank/motor in the Bushing,
then in a Mounting Bracket. Next, slide the Roller Bar between the brackets and, using 2 allen head bolts, fasten the
motor/crank to the other bracket. (see Fig. 2-1)
