A. Introduction:

The Harol veranda awning is an outside sun protection to be fitted on top of the veranda. This sun
protection blocks the sun rays and in doing so protects the veranda against overheating. Thanks to the
special and manyfold fastening accessories, this sun protection can be fitted onto all existing veranda
profiles.

With this manual we confine ourselves to the instructions regarding the perfect installation of our sun
proctection. The contractor assumes full responsibility for the installation of the complete sun protec­tion and all possible components added by this very contractor. Contractor is also held accountable for
the correct CE-labelling of the sun protection installed under his responsibility. This manual is meant
to be used by professionals only. It is not to be used by DIY-enthusiasts or apprentice fitters.

Assembly instructions Veranda sunblind VZ520

Distributing the attachment points

a- aluminum supports:
Push the hexagonal screws in the lateral guide and fix the aluminum supports. The gaps bet-

ween the supports has to be equal.

b- higher aluminum supports:
Same procedure as the regular aluminum supports.

Remark: In case of an intermediate roll, at the same time the screws are placed in the guide for the
fixation of the support for the intermediate roll.

D2. Setting up the ladders and footplanks:

Position the ladders and set up the footplanks on the veranda.

D3. Unpack the boxes:

Take the boxes out of the packaging and lay them out in the right order on the roof of the veranda.

D4. Checking the measurements:

Check the dimensions of the awning against the verandaprofiles. Small deviations in measurements
will be catched up by the movable supports.

D5. Outlining the different positions:

Using a completely prepared guide rail, mark on the roof where the base supports will be positioned.
Take care: the distance between the top support and the top end should be ca. 280 mm. Drill holes, for
the base pieces of the supports, in the veranda frame and fix them firmly.

D6. Positioning the wooden blocks:

Take a few blocks (60x60x300 mm.) and slide them under the mounting brackets between the boxes
and the verandaprofile.

D7. Removing the protective plastic foil:

Open the boxes by removing the covers. Then remove the protective plastic foil from the boxes.

D8. Connecting the boxes:

Take care that the spindles are matched to each other correctly.
The slots for the fabrics must be in line with each other. (avoid getting dirty spots on the fabric).
Insert the square connecting shaft one side halfway into the side-hole. Check that the blind slot mat­ches, then insert the other half in the other hole. Now press the two halves of the mounting bracket
together and fix them by using the screws supplied.

Attention: The higher supports are only used for elevation and there is no guarantee
that they absorb sidelong pressures. Only use them in case of very stable veranda­profiles that cannot slip away. Provide if necessary, in case of a larger pitch, per guide
an extra connection to the wall or to the ground, in order to prevent that the awning
crashes forward.

Attention: Only connect up in the right place, only couple the spindles as allowed.

Attention: Only couple the spindles as allowed. Given that the power of the motor is selected according
to the number of blinds to be operated, the number of blinds connected up must match the number
allowed for the motor.
For this reason, end brackets not supplied with a connector are covered by a self-adhesive patch.

D9. Positioning the awning:

Slide the entire sun blind assembly over the wooden blocks upto the right position. (Which may be
hard against the wall). Take care that the verandaprofiles are at right angles regarding to the wall. We
are working with a squared-off system.

D10. Unwinding the cables:

Unwind the cable so that there are no loops or kinks. Check that at least 2 or 3 turns of cable are left on
the cable pulley. Mind that the cable unrolls along the bottom side.
Connect the motor cable up provisionally using a test cable and let the endprofile run out for +/- 15cm

D11. Positioning the cables into the guide rails:

Take a guide rail, and insert the cable across the entry pulley. Hold the rail pointing diagonally down­wards and push the cable through the rail. Make sure that the cable comes out again through the right
hole. At the far end, feed the cable back round the pulley.

D12. Positioning the guides:

Now lay the guide rails onto the glass roof, just in front of the pins of the mounting brackets.

D13. Positioning the cables into the endprofile:

Insert the cable into the endprofile, aside via the small hole behind the pulley on the slider block.
