Caution: Bracket (1) must be fully aligned with the lateral part (2). Ensure the lateral part
does not protrude beyond the awning. Failure to observe this could lead to damage or
malfunction, or the awning could fall off the wall.

3. INITIal OpEraTION:

Before the initial operation of the folding-arm awning, remove all objects (e.g. ladders, tools etc.) from the
full projection range (in/out) of the folding-arm awning and from underneath the awning. During the trial
operation, ensure that nobody is in this area – there is a risk of injury in case of a malfunction.

3.1. WITh hAND cRANk:

insert the hook of the hand crank in the eye of the driving gear and extend the awning until the
cloth becomes slack.

Turn back briefly to achieve the optimum cloth tension.

When winding up the awning for the first time, check that the covering is wound up properly and that the
articulated arms fold correctly (parallel). The covering (cloth) must always be wound up on the upper side
of the cloth roller.

When the end positions (in and out) are reached, do not force hand crank further. Otherwise the gearing
may be damaged.

3.2 WITh ELEcTRIc MOTOR:

The limits of the motor are factory set. If corrections are necessary on location, please contact the
manufacturer for advice.

Fully extend the awning and check switch-off point.

In the maximum projection, the awning fabric is fully taut.

When retracting the awning, check that the fabric is rolled up correctly and that the articulated folding-
arms retract correctly (parallel).

electrical installation work and connections to the mains must be carried out exclusively by a licensed
electrical company.

Downgrading of the wind class on the grounds of bad installation
conditions is permissible only in limit cases and subject to the
agreement of the final user.

INSTALLATION ON ThERMALLy INSULATED fAÇADES:

insulating plaster and full multi-layer thermal insulation are not
pressure stable.

Therefore, it is necessary to use distancers for the entire surface
of the awning brackets or at least for the area around the screws.

The picture on the right illustrates one possible variant:

BRAckET INSTALLATION:

loosely fasten all brackets and achieve true alignment.

even out irregularities of the base by using suitable spacers.

Then tighten all nuts and bolts and check that brackets are firmly attached.

2.7. INSTALLING THE FOLDING-ARM AWNING:

Ensure that sufficient personnel are available to lift the
awning. The awning weighs up to 60kg; the weights are
defined on the packaging.

• Tilt the awning upwards slightly and then hook into the brackets

from below (from bottom to top).

• Now push awning back, then let the awning down.

The awning will support itself only if it is installed on a wall
and positioned correctly, but in any event it still needs to
be secured.

• Insert the blocking pieces at the side into the grooves between

bracket and lateral part.

• Laterally align the awning and screw in the locking screws with an

sw 5 Allen key until the awing does not have any more play.

This secures the awning and prevents it from falling down.

The standard number of supplied brackets is appropriate for these values if installed in concrete. If the supporting
capacity of the base material is less than that of concrete and if injection anchors are used, please consult a qualified
installation engineer.

A reduction of the dowel forces can be achieved by using suitable
(larger) spreader plates. For dimensioning information in dependence
on the mounting base, please consult any qualified installation
engineer or contact the system manufacturer.

Downgrading of the wind class on the grounds of bad mounting
conditions is permissible only in limit cases and subject to the
agreement of the final user.
