The patio awning is equipped with vertical supports. These supports extend from the leading edge of the
awning to a bracket mounted on the wall or may be used in a carport position on the ground.
1. Determine the location of the wall brackets:
1.1. Open the awning enough to see the support legs in the leading edge.
1.2. On the coach wall mark the location of the pivot point of the legs.
1.3. From the bottom of the awning, measure down vertically 94-127 cm [37"-50"] and mark the location
of the brackets.

scratch guard is included. The guard mounts between the bracket and wall as shown.
