ARAMETERS
Prior to installing the awning, the installer must determine the layout of the specific construction elements to
successfully assemble and mount the awning.
1. Determine the location, size and type of structural framing in the area where the awning is to be mounted.
•
There must be structural framing at the awning mount locations. Fiberglass or sheet metal siding
alone is
NOT
strong enough to support the weight of the awning!
•
If the framing is not obvious, it may be possible to use a stud finder or other similar device.
•
If in doubt, contact an engineer or contractor to determine the type and position of the structural frame.
2. Determine the mounting locations for the control box and switch assemblies.
•
For 110VAC installations, the installer must provide enclosed junction boxes for all wire splices. Boxes are
required in conformance with prevailing construction codes.
•
At the control box location, 110VAC power is required. It is recommended that the installer provide
a dedicated circuit for the awning system that is protected by an appropriate sized fuse/circuit
breaker. Each patio awning draws a maximum of 3 amps.
Refer to section Wiring on page 7 for specific installation and wiring details.

1. Determine the location of the awning:
•
General profile dimensions are shown in Figure 1;
•
Mounting area must be plumb and clear of obstacles;
•
The mounting plate is 9" shorter than the awning; 6" shorter than the back plate. (Reference Figure 1)
•
The awning is factory set with minimum pitch. Mounting height above a door opening or window must be
adjusted if a greater pitch is desired. The chart below provides the minimum distance from the top of a
protrusion to the bottom of the mounting plate when the awning is set at

Minimum Height (A) is measured from the uppermost edge of the projection (i.e. door, window) to the bottom of the mounting
plate. The value given is a minimum requirement, adjust upward as required to clear casing, trim etc.

2.
Mark the mounting plate position with a chalk line ensuring that it is parallel to the ground. Include the
end points of the mounting plate.
3.
Use a non-permanent method of marking to temporarily mark the location of the structural framing in
the mounting area.
4.
Transfer the frame pattern to the mounting plate.
