2.4. Mounting Situations:
Rafter Mounted Puma
Wall Mounted Puma
Ceiling Mounted Puma
15°-75°
Ceiling Mounted Puma
5°-65°
2.5. Installation Height and Position of the Brackets:
The awning can produce crushing forces and shear stresses, for instance between the drop profile and
the housing, on the articulated arms and at the point where different profiles meet.
In the interest of safety, the installation height must be at least 2.50m.
If the situation requires an installation height less than the stated minimum height, it is necessary to
operate the awning manually or with a switch mounted at a location from where the moving parts
can be observed.
Determination of the Mounting Height for
Wall-Mounted Awnings:
The installation height depends on the extended length
and pitch of the awning. Please refer to the drawing on
the right for basic orientation.
Always ensure that there is sufficient headroom.
The use of the awning as a means of protection
against rain is limited. In any event, the minimum
inclination for such applications must be 15° - this is
factory set on every folding-arm awning. The limitations
of usage are defined in the relevant operating
instructions.

• SW 7, SW 13 and SW 17 ring spanners.
• Crosshead screwdriver.
• Spirit level and string for alignment.
• String to align the brackets.
• Test cable, resp. adjustment set (for initial operation).
2.2. INSTALLATION pREpARATIONS:
Transport the awning to the site of installation, ensuring that the orientation is correct. The location
of the drive side is indicated in the notes provided.
Secure the installation zone (the secured zone must be at least equivalent to the size of the fully
deployed awning). If the awning is hoisted to higher installation positions with ropes, the awning
must be removed from the packaging. when attaching the hoisting ropes, ensure that the awning is
properly fastened, but not damaged. hoist the awning exclusively in horizontal position and evenly.
Before commencing the installation, please verify whether the type and number of brackets is in
conformity with the order and whether the installation substrate is the same as that stated on your order.
It significant differences make the safe installation of the folding-arm awning seems doubtful; please
consult the manufacturer of the system and an installation specialist.
if the information above is not observed, the folding-arm awning system may fall down and put the health
and safety of persons at risk!
2.3. WIND RESISTANcE cLASSES:
DEfINITION:
