Insert the gasket (see ref. 7 fig. 9) into the cassette profile. Place the cassette profile on the brackets. Insert the same number of plates (see ref. 8 fig. 9) as there are brackets. Fix the profile with the screws (see ref. 9 fig. fig.9 Position the arm support on the cassette pro- file in the same position as the bracket. Insert the same number of plates (see ref. 10 fig. 10) as there are arm/central brackets. Fix the arm support with the screws. fig.10 ATTENTION Where necessary, mount the central conveyor (see ref. 11 fig. 11) (see tab. 3.4); attach the lower conveyor to the cassette and the upper one to the terminal bar.

Fit the terminal bar connecting kit (see ref. 14 fig. 13) onto the end of the arm (see ref. 15 fig. 14), (box spanner 13). ATTENTION Ensure that the two kits are correctly fixed to the ends of the arms. fig.13 ATTENTION The pin of the arm has a cam and must be mounted in the lever of the arm support as shown in fig.

Assemble the saddle profile (see ref. 29 fig. 23) with the cover supports. The number of cover supports to assemble is equal to the number of stitches on the fabric (apart from the 2 outer ones). Position the cover supports at the stitches. fig.23 Position the cover support with saddle profile on the cassette (see ref. 30 fig. 24). (for projections in excess of 3 m, partly un- wind the fabric to facilitate the operation). Secure the supports to the cassette with the screws (see ref. 31 fig. 24). fig.24 Fix one of the two end plates (see ref. 32 fig. 25) to the cassette. Push the saddle profile against the plate to centre it on the awning. fig.25 Secure the saddle profile to the supports with the two dowels (see ref. 33 fig. 26). ATTENTION Do not overtighten the dowels; stop when the profile is blocked.
