a 1/4" x 3" Lag Screw and tighten in the center of the
Slot in the Bracket.

Securing the Wall Brackets
to the House
WARNING: THE WALL BRACKETS ARE USED TO
SUPPORT THE ARMS IN THE CLOSED POSITION
OR WHILE USING THE AWNING WITH THE ARMS
IN THE ANGLED POSITION. THESE BRACKETS
ARE DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED ON A VERTICAL
SURFACE, SUCH AS THE WALL OF THE HOUSE.
INSTALLING THE WALL BRACKETS ON A
HORIZONTAL PLATFORM, SUCH AS THE DECK
OR PATIO FLOOR, COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY WHILE OPENING OR CLOSING THE
AWNING OR WHILE USING THE ARMS IN THE
ANGLED POSITION. IF THERE IS NO VERTICAL
SURFACE IN YOUR APPLICATION TO SUPPORT
THE ARMS IN THE CLOSED POSITION, REFER TO
APPENDIX A IN THIS BOOKLET FOR FURTHER
INSTRUCTIONS ON USING THE FLOOR MOUNT
FEATURE.
WARNING: BE CAREFUL THAT THE AWNING DOES
NOT FALL WHILE SECURING THE WALL BRACKETS .
46. Using the Hand Crank Wand, roll up the Awning
until the Fabric is fully rolled up against the House.
47. Lift the Handle and press the Thumb Latch on the
Lift Handle and slide the Inner Arm into the Outer
Arm until it stops on the Existing Acorn Nut Stop at
the bottom of the Inner Arm. See Figure 21.
Note: Two more sets of Round Head Screws and
Acorn Nuts have been provided, and will be installed
in Step 56.
48 . Locate a Wall Bracket from the Hardware Box and
latch it onto the Ground Bracket. See Figure 22.

49 . Each Wall Bracket must sit uniformly on the wall/
siding and there must be the same amount of holes
showing on the front of the Inner Arms. If necessary,
extend the Inner Arms down one hole at a time until
the Wall Brackets sit uniformly on the siding. See
Figure 23.
