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.
2. Center the brackets on the location marks, then using the bracket as a template, drill two (2) 5/32"
[4mm] pilot holes.
3. Attach the plate with two (2) #10 x 3/4" flat head screws.

Two clips are provided to store the manual crank handle. These may be mounted horizontally or vertically.
The clips are designed so that one side has a smaller diameter to fit the smaller tube of the handle. The
other side has a larger diameter to fit the larger tube of the handle. The clips can be arranged as shown or
the clips can be oriented so both attach to the larger tube (i.e. if the handle is fully collapsed for storage).
1. Snap the clips on to the crank handle.
2. Position the handle in the desired location and mark the locations of the clips.
3. Remove the clips from the crank handle and mount at the marks made previously. Use the #8 x 1 1/4”
screws provided.
NOTE:
The screws will go through the mounting surface approximately 1/2”; if the mounting surface
material is thinner than 1/2” the screws will protrude through the opposite side.
This completes the installation of the manual awning. For motorized awnings go to
“Switch Installation” on page 6.
