Now, you must position each bracket between 6’’ and 12” from each extremity of the casing to
insure maximum support. For casings greater than 6’, you will need to position a third bracket
approximately in the center of your chalk line. While making certain that it is level, position the
first bracket at the required position (while referring to the bottom chalk line). Position each
bracket with the two holes on top and mark the positions of the 3 holes where the screws will be
holding the bracket. Repeat the same procedure for the other brackets (See figure 4).
Use a 3/16‘’masonry drill bit to drill the holes 1 3/4’’ deep into the masonry.
Using a 5/16’’ ratchet socket, install the brackets with the 1/4’’ X 1 3/4’’masonry screws. While
tightening the screws with your brackets, maintain them at level. Do not over tighten, before
adjusting your level.
WARNING:
YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT MASONRY SCREWS ARE WELL ANCHORED IN THE
HOLES. IF NOT THE CASE, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE DEALER TO OBTAIN THE
PROPER SIZE OF FASTENERS.
5. Casing installation
5.1. Hanging the casing on its brackets
Carefully remove all packaging material from the Solar Shade’s housing. Make sure the two cable
guides are unrolled.
You will need the help of at least one other person at this stage, to lift the housing. While using
2 ladders, raise the housing and push the groove of the housing into the holders (lips) of the
brackets (see figure 2). A bit of pressure might be necessary.

As a next step, tighten the M6 set-up screws with a 5 mm Allen key on each bracket. Tighten
these screws well to prevent the housing from sliding. These screws should be visible under the
casing on a mural installation, and on the front
or back for a soffit installation.
