Installation Manual
1 INTRODUCTION
This manual was prepared by the Manufacturer to provide the necessary information to those authorized to install
and perform special maintenance on the product. It is prohibited to remove, rewrite or in any way modify the
pages of the manual and their content.
Operations must be carried out by personnel with the technical and professional skills required by current
applicable national laws or standards.
This manual must be kept complete in all its parts in an easily accessible place.
The manufacturer reserves the right to update products and corresponding manuals without the obligation to
update previous manuals.
The manufacturer reserves all rights on this manual. It may not be reproduced in any way, wholly or in part,
without the manufacturer's written authorization.
1.1 - Symbols used in this manual
The WARNING symbols used in this manual are given below.
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Useful advice and instructions to be observed to ensure proper installation and/or maintenance of the awning.
Failure to observe these messages may compromise the integrity and/or the resistance of the product.
WARNING
Danger to operator! Instructions to be evaluated and followed carefully. Failure to comply with these messages
may compromise individual safety.
1109
1.2 - Personnel Requirements
Personnel assigned to this operation must have technical knowledge of the product obtained either through two
years' experience or by means of a suitable technical training course.
1.3 - Required Equipment
To ensure proper installation of the awning, and consequently best operation of the nished product, the following
equipment is required:
• power screwdriver
• a level
• string
• complete tool set
• equipment for working at heights (scaffolding, ladders, aerial platforms, etc.) which are compliant with current
standards of individual safety in the workplace.
WARNING
All of the screws used on aluminum components must be tightened with a maximum force of 20Nm (=2Kgm).
Greater tightening force causes the castings to break and damage to the stainless steel screws. It is advisable
to use dynamo-metric power screwdrivers and wrenches.
WARNING
Use low-speed power screwdrivers. Screwing in the stainless steel screws at high speed may cause the
threads to jam, especially in the case of stainless steel/stainless steel and stainless steel/ aluminum screws
and threads.
WARNING
In the wall/ceiling supports with double screw, be sure to evenly screw the two fastening screws of the square
bar, distributing the tightening force alternatively on the two screws up to a maximum of 20 Nm. Uneven
tightening may cause abnormal tension in the casting, causing it to fail immediately, or lead to subsequent
problems caused by external stress on the awning (e.g. gusts of wind).

• If the awning is to be installed above ground level, the area underneath the awning must be marked off and
guarded so that no one can get underneath the hanging load.
• Firmly tie the ropes or straps around the shoulders so that it does not slip and risk falling.
2.3 Working environment
• Installation and special maintenance must be carried out in a place that is sufciently illuminated (based on
specic standards) by either natural or articial lighting. The operator must have a clear view of the work to

4 INSTALLATION OF MANUAL AWNING
The instructions below refer to wall mounting; ceiling mounting is the same. If any options are in use, rst read
Chapter 6 "Optionals"
WARNING
Ensure a minimum space of 19.75 inches between the open awning and any xed obstacle.
The awning must be installed at a minimum height of 98.5 inches. If this is not possible, for awnings equipped
with automations it is obligatory to install an acoustic warning device.
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Use the most suitable attachment hardware for the type of wall where the awning is to be installed.
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
For CEILING INSTALLATION, DO NOT FASTEN THE BRACKETS TO THE BLOCKS.
The awning may fall with the risk of serious injury to individuals and damage to the product.
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
The procedure described below refers to the model of awning with two arms. The operator must take the
necessary measures for the installation of models with more than two arms.
4.1 - Fastening brackets to wall
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
The instructions that follow are of a general nature and must therefore be adapted to the model of awning
being assembled.
1109
1) Before starting installation, take note of the following information, which is indispensable to nd the right
position for fastening the brackets:
• dimensions of the awning (see Chap 3.1)
• dimensions of the mounting brackets (see Chap. 3.6)
• number of shoulders (see Chap.3.2)
• side of awning where operation is located;
• dimensions of the wall/ceiling where the awning is to be installed.
FIG. 5
(For the support and bracket positions, see Chapter 3.3).
2) Using a string and a level, mark the position of the holes to be made on the wall.
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
To facilitate the installation process, pages 11 and 12 may be printed in A4 format for use as templates to nd
the best positions for the holes.
WARNING
To avoid gross errors, make sure the print out scale is 1:1, checking the measure indicated on the paper with
a ruler or caliper in relation to the dimensions indicated on page 9 with automations it is obligatory to install
an acoustic warning device.

4.3 - Adjustment of Awning Inclination
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
The instructions that follow are of a general nature
and must therefore be adapted to the model of
awning being assembled.
For this procedure, one worker will need to work on
the brackets, and the other, only after opening the
awning, will guide the front bar so as to raise or lower
the awning easily.
WARNING
Make sure that when opening/closing the awning,
there are no individuals within its range of action
who are not involved in the work.

5 INSTALLATION OF MOTORIZED AWNING
The instructions below refer to wall mounting; ceiling mounting is the same. If any options are in use, rst read
Chapter 6 "Optionals"
WARNING
IT IS PROHIBITED to install the motorized product in an explosive atmosphere.
WARNING
Use a locking switch (with key) if the awning is installed in sensitive locations such as schools, colleges,
hospitals, retirement homes, etc. If the awning is equipped with a radio remote control, keep it out of the reach
of children.
WARNING
If there is an opening/closing switch, it must be located in a protected position at a height of at least 59 inches
above ground level and in a safe place.
WARNING
The awning must be installed at a minimum height of 98.5 inches. If this is not possible, for awnings equipped
with automations it is obligatory to install an acoustic warning device.

5.1 - Limit switch calibration
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Before installation, check that the limit switch is properly calibrated. If it requires adjustment, follow the
instructions in the "Motor Manual".
5.2 - Electrical connections and installation
WARNING
The electrical connections must be performed by qualied personnel and with the electrical energy
