16. Rotate the Left End Cap so that the opening is
aligned with the slot indicated as 'Insert Valance' on
the Roller Bar. See Figure 3.
17. Position the Valance with the Hem facing down.
See Figure 7.
18. Trim the Gray Cord flush with the edge of the

end of the Roller Bar and secure with the supplied 5/64"
Allen wrench.
20 . While holding the Valance upright, slide the
Valance onto the Roller Bar until approximately six

24 . With your Helper, hold the Roller Bar from both
ends. Lift the Roller Bar to about waist height. Rotate
the Roller Bar in a direction away from the house so
that the Fabric and the Valance roll up around the
Roller Bar, until the last 16 to 20 inches of Fabric
hangs freely.
CAUTION: The Hem of the Fabric Must be Rolling on
the Inside and NOT Facing Up. See Figure 8.

26 . Determine the location of the Awning and the
Awning Rail mounting height, above the patio.
The Awning Rail should be mounted 1" below any
obstruction; 2" if using the Floor Mount feature (see
Page 16) and as high above the patio as possible,
with a recommended height of 9' to the top edge of
the Awning Rail (9'6" if installing the Screen Room), to
maximize the Pitch of the Awning.
If you are installing your Awning above doors and
windows that swing out or other obstructions, the
Awning Rail must be installed a minimum of 4" above
the actual door or window (not trim or brick-mold).
The Awning can be mounted as low as 6'8" for Model
900 , and as low as 7' for Model 1000
XT
as 10' above the deck or patio.
For wood siding installation, locate the Awning Rail
parallel to, and at the top course, of Horizontal Siding.
See Figure 10.
Note: Siding may not be perfectly horizontal or
parallel to the patio. If siding is not level, adjust the
Mounting Rail to be level.
