Please Note: These instructions should be read thoroughly before installing.
This is a guide to assist in the installation and care of your external awnings. Betta Blinds and Awnings do not
guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in this guide. We recommend an experienced expert installer
to rely upon their own skills. This is based on general knowledge concerning the assembly, materials and working
process of the external blinds, which is known to us at the time of printing this guide, consequently, is subject to
change and Betta Blinds and Awnings specifically reserves the right to change this guide without notification.

If the position, you need to drill is over a
mortar line move up to the centre of the brick above that position.
Check the size of your blind against the label, which will be attached to the packaging, or it could be on the
blind.
Fitting the Weather Box
1. Remove the awning from the weather box.
2. Attach end caps to hood using rivets supplied (3 at each end).
3. Measure the width of the hood then the width of the window. The difference between the two is the total
amount of overhang your box will have. Divide this number by two to determine how much overhang you will
have on each side. E.g. If the hood measures 2300 and the window measures 2000, the total overhang will be
300mm. dividing by two equals 150mm each side of the window.
4. Carefully raise the hood into position ensuring that it is horizontal. Mark the top drill hole
through the eyelet -
refer to picture 1
- and then the bottom hole.
5. Pre-drill all holes and plug. When all holes are drilled, carefully position the hood, and
fasten with screws.
6. If needed install the pivot pin into the end of the blind and plate to the idle end of the hood, using nut and bolt
provided.
7. If needed attach gearbox to hood end cap, using nut and bolt provided. The gearbox can be positioned in two
different angles. Betta Blinds recommend the gearbox to be angled outwards for ease of use.
NB: Bolt from
the outside in.
8. Hang the awning. The motor end / crank end (square tube end) goes in first. Drop the other end onto the
slotted part of the pin. Secure this end with the split pin supplied.
