a. Lower the awning skin down to the bottom of the side channel.
b. Choose one of the side channels to fasten first i.e. either left or right.
c. Starting at the bottom of the channel move to the closest cut out in the side channel. Drill a 2.5mm pilot hole
in both the Grey floating guide and the first layer of the side channel ( you will feel the movement with the drill
once the bit passes through the first layer of side channel) and fasten with the supplied fixing screw. Continue
this procedure moving up the side channel at each cut out.
Note: Drill the pilot hole with medium pressure, this will ensure you do not drill through the back of the side guide.
