CAUTION: The masonry fasteners that are supplied
with this Awning ARE NOT designed for use in the
joint between two bricks. They are ONLY to be
installed within the main body of a brick, not within
1/2” of an outer edge of the brick (See Figure 7). The
fasteners are also not suitable for hollow cinder
block type construction or wall surfaces that have
deteriorated. Consult a local hardware store for
fasteners that fit these types of applications. Do not
use the supplied masonry fasteners on a stucco wall.
11.
Remove the Bracket and drill a 1/4” pilot hole
using a masonry drill bit, about 3” deep for the top
hole. Make sure the bottom hole is plumb (vertically
centered) under the top hole, then drill the bottom
hole.
12.
Using the 3/8” masonry bit supplied, drill both holes
4 1/2”
deep.
Note: Do not allow the holes to become tapered or
oversized while drilling to this final size.
CAUTION: You must drill these holes in the two
specified steps. If you do not follow these steps,
the size of the hole can become too large and the
masonry bolts will not hold properly.
13.
Place a flat washer under the head of the masonry
bolt and screw it into the hole using a 9/16” socket. See
Figure 6
. Repeat for other bolt. While tightening the
bolts, make sure to keep the Bracket plumb (use a
level if needed). Do not overtighten the bolts.
WARNING: YOU MUST BE SURE THE MASONRY
BOLTS ARE TIGHT IN THE HOLES. IF NOT, REMOVE
THEM AND CONSULT A LOCAL HARDWARE STORE
FOR FASTENERS THAT FIT YOUR APPLICATION.

Fabric/Roller Bar positioned above the Square Bar
)
into the Brackets and position it so the ends of the
Awning line up with end points marked on the wall.
See
Figure 9
.
Push the Square Bar into the Brackets (see
Figure 9
)
and secure with a Retaining Bolt in each Bracket (see
