Step 12. If there is no round hole right below or right
behind the bottom edge of the Outer Arm, you must
drill a hole for the Acorn Nut stop on the front of the
Inner Arm. Please follow the steps listed below.
Step 13. Make sure the Ground Bracket is sitting flat
on the deck or patio surface. Using a pencil, draw a
Horizontal Line on the face of the Inner Arm as shown
in Figure 48. At the center of the Inner Arm, draw a
small Vertical Line that intersects with the horizontal
line. This is the hole location for the Acorn Nut Stop.
Step 14. Detach the Ground Bracket from the Deck
Plate using the Ground Bracket Handle. Operate
the Lift Handle and slowly extend the Inner Arm
approximately 4".
Step 15. Center punch the location for the Acorn Nut
stop from Step 13. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole, then enlarge
to 1/4". De-burr the hole if needed. From the back
of the Arm, place the 1/4-20 x 1/4" screw through the
hole that you drilled. Attach the Acorn Nut to the front of the Inner Arm and tighten with a 7/16" wrench. See
Figure 47, Step 1. Operate the Lift Handle and raise the Inner Arm to the Acorn Nut Stop. Reattach the Ground
Bracket to the Deck Plate. Repeat this step for the other arm.
Step 16. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two short screws on each Inner Arm. See Figure 49. Repeat
for the other Arm.
Step 17. Continue with Step 58 of the Sunsetter Awning Installation Instructions.
Note: If you plan to use either Arm in the Vertical Position, you need to call SunSetter Customer Service at
800-670-7071 and purchase another set of Deck Plates and then follow Steps 59 through 68 on Page 10 to
properly install them on your Deck or Patio.
To move the Arms from the Deck Plates close to the House to the Vertical Position, complete the following
steps:
• Fully open the Awning according to your operating instructions.
• Unlock the Ground Brackets from the Deck Plates using the Ground Bracket Handle. See Figure 50.
• Move the Arm to the Vertical position.
• Place the bottom of the Arm over the Deck Plate that you installed away from the house. Secure the Arm to
the Deck Plate by lifting the Ground Bracket Handle and rotate it clock-wise approximately 1/4 turn until it locks.
• To move the Arms back to the Deck Plates closer to the House, reverse the above procedure.
CAUTION: USE CARE WHEN MOVING THE ARMS BACK TO THE DECK PLATE CLOSER TO THE HOUSE.
