PLEASE NOTE THAT LEFT AND RIGHT REFERENCES ARE AS YOU ARE
FACING THE HOUSE.
Complete Steps 1 through 25 in the SunSetter Awning Installation
Instructions. In Step 26 of the SunSetter Installation Instructions,
the Awning Rail should be mounted 2" below an eave or any
obstruction. See Figure 40. This is necessary as you may need the
additional clearance while using the Floor Mount Feature. After
determining your desired Mounting Height, complete Steps 26
through 46 of the SunSetter Awning Installation Instructions and
then complete the steps listed below.
CAUTION: Be Careful not to Allow the Awning to Fall During These Steps
Step 1. Attach a Deck Plate onto the end of the Ground Bracket and
secure with the Ground Bracket Handle. See Figure 41 and Figure
42. Make sure that hole 'C' in the Deck Plate is positioned away
from the House. See Figure 43.
Step 2. Operate the Lift Handle and extend the Inner Arm until the
attached Deck Plate contacts the deck or patio surface.
Step 3. Position the Arm so that the Ground Bracket is directly
below the Upper Bracket and plumb the Arm left to right and front
to back. Note: IF THE UPPER BRACKETS ARE INSTALLED ON THE
WALL, POSITION THE GROUND BRACKET AS CLOSE TO THE WALL
AS POSSIBLE AND PLUMB THE ARM LEFT TO RIGHT. Mark the
center of holes A and B (See Figure 43) with a small punch or pencil.
(A thin marker may work better for masonry patios). Mark the
same locations for the other side. Move the Arms out of the way
and have your helper secure them.
Step 4. FOR WOOD DECKS: Drill 3/16" pilot holes, at points A and B,
11/2" deep for each of the two mounting screws on each plate. See
Figure 43.
FOR MASONRY PATIOS: Drill 5/16" pilot holes at points A and B,
11/2" deep for each of the two #14 Plastic Anchors. See Figure 43.
Install the Anchors with a hammer being careful not to collapse the
Anchors.
Step 5. Remove the Deck Plate from bottom of the Arm. Place
the Deck Plate over the holes that you just drilled and align them
with holes A and B in the Deck Plate. Mark the center of hole C and
remove the Deck Plate. Repeat this step for the other side.
