Soffit Mount Installation - Mounting Line
20.
Snap a horizontal straight line on the soffit, using
the chalk line, the length of the Awning. When you
position your chalk line on the soffit, take into account
that when retracted, the Awning will project 10” from
the chalk line. See
Figure 10
.
Note: For ease of mounting the Awning to the
Brackets, it is very important that the line be straight.
Mounting the Brackets into the Soffit
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE PLASTIC
SAFETY SLEEVES FROM THE LATERAL ARMS UNTIL
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. See Figure 16 on Page 13.
Note: The following instructions are for installing to
a level overhang or soffit. If installing to an angled
overhang or rafters, it may be necessary to use
Rafter Adapter Brackets (see Figure 10 insert). These
Brackets may be purchased separately and utilized
as shown in Figure 10. Please call Customer Service
at 800-670-7071 to purchase the Rafter Adapter
Brackets.
21.
On the Chalk Line you have marked on the soffit,
mark the left and the right Ends of the Awning
(
points 1
&
5
in
Figure 1
).
Note: With the exception of the 10’ Awning, which
measures 123” left to right, all other Awnings
measure like their defined size. For example, a 12’
Awning measures 144” from left to right.
a. On your Awning, measure the distance from
the right end of the Square Bar to the inner
and outer edges of the right Arm Clamp and
record those measurements.
b.
Repeat this measurement for the left Arm
Clamp.
c.
Mark on the chalk line the Middle Point
and the Points where the left and right Arm
Clamps will be located (
points 2, 3,
and
4
in
Figure 1
respectively).
Note: The Brackets cannot be installed in the area
where the Arm Clamps are located.
CAUTION: PROPER LOCATION OF THE BRACKETS IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE AWNING
MOUNTING. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU FASTEN BOTH
LAG SCREWS IN EACH MOUNTING BRACKET TO THE
RAFTERS OR OTHER MAJOR STRUCTURAL MEMBERS.
Even a moderate wind exerts great force on the
Awning and Mounting Brackets. This is why it is
most important that both Lag Screws in the Brackets
be fastened properly and securely. Proper location
will also make it easier to insert the pre-assembled
Awning into the supporting Brackets.
Note: Mount Brackets only in the locations
recommended for your size Awning.
Note: You will need to install
ALL
Brackets supplied
for secure mounting.
