This section contains IMPORTANT WARNINGS concerning YOUR SAFETY and the INTEGRITY OF YOUR MULTIPLE SHADE AND INSTALLATION.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: IT IS MANDATORY TO FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN BODILY INJURIES, MATERIAL DAMAGE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR MULTIPLE SHADE, CHECK YOUR INSTALLATION SURFACE TO IDENTIFY ANY POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTIONS THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH THE SOLAR SHADE DURING OPENING SUCH AS FIXTURES, DOOR HANDLES ETC.
WARNING: Your Multiple Shade is not made to support high winds and accumulation of
snow or ice. This can severely damage your Multiple Shade or make it fall and cause corporal and material damage and subsequently void the warranty.

3.2. Requirements overview
Properly evaluate the required space to install the Solar Shade by following the steps explained from section 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 included. We supply wood or masonry screws in order to adapt to your surface installation.
3.3. Unpacking your solar shade
Remove all 12 drywall screws: the 4 screws at each end of the tube and the 4 screws of the hardware section and keep them. Make sure all screws are removed as they may scratch or damage the housing or fabric if they are left on the tube.
Use a hammer and a large screwdriver to hit the wooden cap near the wall of the tube to un-wedge it. Remove the wooden caps. Pull the solar shade out of the tube. Two persons
are needed to safely pull out the Solar Shade from the tube.
Put the casing on easels or on 2 stable chairs. Put the manual crank aside. Remove the plastic wrapping with caution using a safety cutter. DO NOT USE a regular knife or an exacto, doing so could damage the casing.
3.4. Parts list
Wrapped on the casing:
1 Manual crank (manual version
only)
In the hardware bag:
1 remote handset (motorized
version)

4. Overview and anchors
In this section, we will be examining the installation procedure. Installation of the anchors can be done by one person, but you will need at least one other person to install the Solar Shade
onto its anchors. The installation of the anchors is the crucial portion of work that requires the most time and attention to details.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: IT IS MANDATORY TO FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN BODILY INJURIES, MATERIAL DAMAGE AND VOIDING THE WARRANTY. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ENTIRELY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION.
NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR MULTIPLE SHADE, CHECK YOUR INSTALLATION SURFACE TO IDENTIFY ANY POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTIONS WHICH COULD INTERFERE WITH THE SOLAR SHADE DURING OPENING SUCH AS FIXTURES, DOOR HANDLES ETC.
4.1. Siding walls made of wood, vinyl or aluminum
For all wood structure buildings, there is often a header board above the door or the window
that will be protected by your Solar Shade. Wood screws must be fixed to this type of structure. For any other type of structure such as gazebos or balconies, it is necessary to assess the
horizontal support between columns. Make sure there is a solid wooden base or metallic support on which the brackets will be anchored. In such instances, the Solar Shade’s casing will be installed on a soffit mode. All our casings are designed to accommodate a soffit installation.
4.1.1. Choosing the position
INSTRUCTIONS ARE IDENTICAL WHETHER YOU ARE INSTALLING ON A SOFFIT OR WALL MODE. You will find 2 grooves on the casing (See figure 2). One groove is on top for a soffit installation, and the other is on the back for a wall installation.
Your Solar Shade can accommodate heights up to a 10’ (See figure 1). It is important to choose a position to maximize your required protection while considering the length of the cable guides on each side of your shade. If your window or door to be protected is shorter than 10’, you will have to cut the cable guides as per the desired height. However, this cutting should be performed at the end of the installation. While the Solar Shade may be too long for your requirement, you can stop the opening of the Solar Shade at any position.

4.1.2. Brackets installation wall and soffit
Using the supplied brackets (see figure 3), position the bottom of each bracket 1 1/4" above the bottom of the casing while understanding that the casing has a 5’’ height when installed on the wall. Trace an horizontal chalk line at this height. Make sure that the chalk line is level and also validate that the frame of your window or door is perfectly parallel to your chalk line, otherwise, you may need to make a small adjustment to your chalk line. Trace the ends of this
line to make sure the casing will be centered on your window or door.
Now, you must position each bracket to insure maximum support. Position each bracket between 6” and 12” from each extremity of the casing. For casings wider than 6’, you will need to position a third bracket approximately in the center of your chalk line. Position each bracket with the two holes on top (if you are installing under the eaves, choose the side that is easier for you) and trace the location of each hole (see figure 4).
FOR WALL INSTALLATION, THE SCREW MUST FACE DOWN, BUT FOR SOFFIT INSTALLATION, THE SCREW MUST FACE BACK.
Use a 3/32" drill bit to drill the holes through your siding and one inch deep into the header board.
Using a Philips screwdriver, install your brackets with the #8 X 1 3/4" wood screws. While tightening the screws with your brackets, maintain them level (use a level). Do not over tighten
the wood screws before adjusting the level since you may need to do some readjustments.

4.2. Masonry
This installation method is meant for solid brick walls (THIS EXCLUDES ALL TYPES OF DECORATIVE BRICK) where the masonry brick anchors/ties are in perfect order. YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL SHIMS IF THE BRICK SURFACE IS UNEVEN.
4.2.1. Choosing the position
Similarly to wood based frames, choose a position which will accommodate the length of the cable guides on each side of your shade. If your window or door to be protected is shorter than
10’, you will have to cut the cable guides as per the height desired. However, this cutting should be performed at the end of the installation. While the shade may be too long for your requirement, you can stop the opening of the shade at any position.
4.2.2. Installation on bricks
Please note that it is more important to ensure a good anchoring than to follow the placement as seen on the drawing below (See figure 5).
Figure 4 Figure 5
Using the supplied brackets (See figure 4), position the bottom of each bracket 1 1/4’’above the bottom of the casing while understanding that the casing has a height of 5’’when installed on the wall. Please make sure that screws will be positioned at least 1/2’’ from the border of each brick, this criteria being more important than the height desired for your installation.
Trace a horizontal chalk line at this height. Make sure this chalk line is level. You may need to review the frame of your window or door, to make sure it is perfectly parallel to your chalk line. Otherwise, you may need to make a small adjustment to your chalk line. Trace the two sides of this line to identify the width extremities of the casing while making sure the casing will be centered on your window or door.
WARNING: The provided masonry fasteners cannot be used in the joint between two bricks. Install them in the brick body, at least 0,5” from the edge of the brick (see Figure 5). The fasteners are also not designed for hollow surfaces like hollow cement blocs. Visit a hardware store for the proper fasteners to be used for your type of installation. DO NOT USE THE SUPPLIED MASONRY FASTENERS ON STUCCO WALLS.
