WARNING : Proper location of the brackets is the most important aspect of the awning
installation. It is critical that you fasten all the mounting brackets to studs, joists, headers or
other major structural members.
Even a moderate wind exerts great force on the awning and mounting brackets. This is why it is
important that all the brackets will be fastened properly and securely. Proper location will also make it
easier to insert the pre-assembled awning into the supporting brackets.
WARNING : Failure to securely fasten all the brackets to the wall could result in the
collapse of the awning and cause personal injury.
NOTE: Mount brackets only in the locations recommended for your awning size.
(See pages 9 & 10 for awning sizes.
Location (a) - Between the left end of the awning and the left arm, on the stud nearest to the left end.

LOCATING THE BRACKETS
On the chalk line you have marked on the house, mark the left and right ends of the awning.
Using your awning, measure the distance from the right end of the square bar to the inner and outer
edges of the right arm shoulder and record those measurements. Repeat this measurement for the
left arm shoulder. Mark on the chalk line the middle point and the points where the left and right arm
shoulders will be located.
Note: The brackets cannot be installed in the area where the arm shoulders are located .
