Hold the front bar out from the wall so the rafter is level to the ground to loosen the fabric. Install a
rafter connecting the back bar to the front bar. Raising the front bar to the same height as or above the
back bar may be required. A second person to hold the front bar out and level may be needed on
larger awnings.
Loosely fasten a nut at each end of the back bar to hold the rafter in place.
•
DO NOT TIGHTEN THE NUTS ON THE ENDS OF THE FRONT AND BACK BAR UNTIL THE
INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED.
Repeat the above step for the rafter on the opposite end of the awning.
Slide the return arm into the pocket on the side panel of the awning. Make sure the tab for mounting
the return are to the wall is facing to the inside of the awning. Loosely fasten a nut at each end of the
front bar to hold the rafter and return arm in place.
Level the return arms and fasten the end of the return arms to the wall.
Pull the return arms down
firmly to further tension the fabric before fastening
. The last step is to tighten the frame bolts.
Install Center Brace – 8’ -12’ EasyAwn Only
: Slide the open end of the center brace over the stub on
the center section of the front bar. Insert the pin on the opposite end into the hole in the center section
of the back bar. Place as much tension on the fabric as possible and secure the center rafter with the
fastener.
Install Center Return Arm – 8’ -12’ EasyAwn Only
: Attached the end of the center rafter to the font
bar and the bracket to the rear of the return arm as shown below. You can mount the bracket
anywhere from a few inches below the back bar to 12’ below the front bar but if possible it should be
mounted level with the other return arms. Adjust the nut so the center of the front bar is level from side
to side.
Congratulations - Your EasyAwn
™
installation is now complete
! If you would like a waterproof
seal at the wall, use a non-adhesive caulk to seal the aluminum channel to the wall. This is not
recommended if you will be removing the awning each season.
