WarnInG
all of the screws used on aluminium components must be tightened with a maximum
force of 20nm (=2Kgm). Greater tightening force causes the castings to break and
damage to the stainless steel screws. It is advisable to use dynamometric power
screwdrivers and wrenches.
WarnInG
use low speed electric screwdrivers: high-speed screwing of stainless steel screws
may cause thread seizure, especially between stainless steel/stainless steel and
stainless steel/aluminium screws and threads.
WarnInG
It is advisable to screw the two square bar locking screws evenly into the bar,
distributing the tightening force alternately onto the two screws at a maximum of
20nm. uneven tightening may cause irregular torque in the alloy that may cause it
to break immediately or cause problems at a later stage due to external force on the
awning (e.g. gust of wind).
