READ ME FIRST!
Congratulations!
You have just purchased America’s #1 Retractable Awning. SunSetter Awnings will provide
you and your family with many years of enjoyment on your deck or patio.
Before you begin installation, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Platinum Plus Semi-Cassette
Awning and your Owner’s Manual. You may also find it helpful to view the DVD included with the Awning
hardware for a visual walkthrough of the Awning installation. Please check to ensure all of the parts listed
on
Pages 4
and
5
have been included with your Awning and that you have the correct size, color and model
Awning.
Installation of your Awning
When unpacking your Awning, take care to protect the Awning from accidental damage or soiling. Do not
drop or drag the Awning on the ground.
Note
: Your Awning has been shipped to you fully assembled but it is important to follow this instruction
manual to securely fasten the Mounting Brackets to your home and install the Awning.
Please read these instructions completely before installing your Awning. Please note, you will need an
assistant(s) for installation. Left and Right references are as you face the house. You have been provided with
the proper fasteners for mounting to your structure (either wood lag screws or masonry bolts).
For the greatest enjoyment of your Lateral Arm Awning,
please mount as high on your wall as possible
, with
a
recommended mounting height of 9’
. Your electrical cord will allow you 18’ to reach your GFI outlet and
you will find your Remote Transmitter attached to the cord.
Operation of your Awning
Your Awning, once installed, has the ability to be opened partially or to its full projection to suit your deck
or patio design. The pitch of your Awning may be easily adjusted, up or down, from the factory setting
based upon your actual mounting height. Please see
Appendix B on Page 23
if you would like to make this
adjustment.
Note
: Please follow the Care and Maintenance Guidelines on Pages 16 through 18 for proper use and
inclement weather precautions.
Please retain your Owner’s Manual and Installation Instructions for future reference regarding operation,
care and maintenance, troubleshooting, customer service and warranty information.
