Installation of your Awning

ŸWhen unpacking your awning, take care to protect the awning from accidental

damage or soiling.

ŸDo not drop or drag the awning on the ground.

ŸWhen removing the protective wrapping from the awning, do not use a knife or

box cutter to the wrapping as you could accidentally slice into your awning

fabric.

ŸYour awning has been shipped to you fully assembled but it is important to follow

this instruction manual to securely fasten the mounting brackets to your home and

install the awning.

ŸPlease read these instructions completely before installing your Vertical awning.

ŸYou will need an assistant(s) for installation.

ŸLeft and Right references are as you are facing the house.

ŸYou have been provided with the proper brackets, gearbox screws, nuts and bolts

for pivot pin and plate for mounting the awning, but you will need to provide the

drill and bits (and additional fixings if required) once determining the fixing

surface. (See previous page for tools required).

Step One

i) Install the Bottom “L” Brackets:

For L Bracket Installation, ensure that there is enough clearance from the bottom (Dia C5/i).

NOTE: Align the brackets so that the stainless steel cables hang vertically and parallel to each other.

If using a masonry drill bit make sure the drill is set to the hammer setting.

Note:

ŸLevel Mounting is critical for the correct operation of this awning system (always use a spirit level).

ŸAlways use the correct mounting screws or bolts for mounting to the desired application ie. Gyprock, Timber, Masonry, Steel or Aluminium.

ŸFor brick or rendered surfaces, make sure drilling is no closer than 25mm from edge of surfaces as the brick or render my chip or break out.

ŸThe most important procedure installing these awnings, is to be sure that the correct anchorage method has been used so that the mounting area (ie walls or eaves) is able to support the weight of the awning and its operation.

i) The stainless steel cable is suppliedlonger than required.

If trimming of the cable is required, use an angle grinder and small cutting disc. Wrap the area with electrical tape before cutting this will help prevent any fraying of the cable (Dia C6/i).

Cut the cable at an angle, this gives a leading edge.

Steps for Side-channeled blinds1. Using a chalk string line mark a straight line (ensure

the line is square to the Blind, this is critical) from under the top bracket down to the full length of the side channel. Repeat for the other side.

2. On the first U-Channel, starting approx 30mm down from the top mark the first drill hole then in increments of 500mm approx.

3. Drill and secure the U-channel onto the post or reveal ready for the side channel to slot into it.

4. Repeat for the other side.

5. Slide the side channel into the U-channel rebate on both sides but do not secure into place at this time

6. Unroll blind fabric two turns off top tube, slide lock- bar onto bottom of blind and centralise between side tabs, carefully guide lock-bar and fabric into the top of the side guide channels using the side fabric tabs to start them into the guide slots in the channel.

7. Remove the ‘R’ clip and idler pin from the guide channel headstock and slide the idler pin into the open end of the top roller tube, align the square drive end to slide into the square drive hole of the gearbox, then align the idler end pin to drop down the slot of opposite headstock to engage the idler carriage, re-install the ‘R’ clip to retain top tube

8. Unroll the blind using the crank handle to full drop (ensure sides of blind material retained in guide slots), spirit level side guide channels (allow 3-5mm tolerance for material, ie: not too tight), then evenly space fixings thru the side channels into the guided channels to retain in place. Note: normally the side fixing is drilled thru the groove on the side of the wall channels aligning with the rivets in the guide channels.

9. Lower the lock-bar fully onto floor and test the lock engages. Note: Sometimes with uneven floors you may need to enlarge or re-drill the locking bar holes inside the guide channels.

10. Once the lock-bar has engaged, lightly tension the blind using the crank handle, then install the top blind stops inside the left and right guide channels using the supplied nylon blocks- rivet thru the channel into the nylon block in the pre-drilled holes just below the headstocks. (Be careful not to damage blind material)

11. Release tension from the blind by unrolling using the crank handle; unlock lower lock-bar, then wind the blind to the top – the lock-bar should stop against the nylon top stops, Note: never over-tension your blind using the crank handle- just lightly tension.

12. Once this has been completed, your blind is ready for use.

General care and maintenance of your Sunline Vertical Awning

ŸPrior to operating the Sunline awning, be sure that no objects or persons can come in contact with it as it opens and closes. Keep children away from any moving parts of the awning as it operates. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

ŸNever attempt to hang items from any part of the awning, except those accessories that are supplied by the manufacturer.

ŸNever attempt to repair or disassemble any part of the awning without following replacement part procedures supplied by the manufacturer. Trying to do so without proper instructions could result in personal injury.

ŸIt is normal for the fabric to form waves or wrinkles at the hemmed edges as the awning rolls up. This is because the fabric layer is double only along the edges.

ŸNever use a barbeque grill, any type of patio heater or fireplace near your Sunline awning. Doing so could result in the fabric burning or melting and could result in personal injury.

ŸIf it is necessary to roll the awning up wet, be sure to extend it out to dry when the weather is better.

ŸWhile the awning fabric itself won’t mildew, mildew can form on the dust and dirt allowed to accumulate on the fabric.

ŸIf the fabric is rolled up and stored when wet, the moisture will promote the formation of mildew.

ŸDo not use caustic cleaners.

ŸGently remove the dust from the dry awning fabric using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

ŸThen clean with spraying of luke warm water and a mild soap while gently brushing. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.

ŸCleaning the awning regularly with mild soap and water will extend the life of the fabric.
