SunSetter Motorized Series Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions page 2

READ ME FIRST!
Congratulations! You have just purchased America's #1 Retractable Awning. SunSetter Awnings will provide
you and your family with many years of enjoyment on your deck or patio.
Before you begin installation, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Awning and your Owner's
Manual. You may also find it helpful to view the DVD included with the Awning hardware for a visual
walkthrough of the Awning installation. Please check to ensure all of the parts listed on Page 4 and 5 have
been included with your Awning and that you have the correct size, color and model Awning.
Installation of your Awning
When unpacking your Awning, take care to protect the Awning from accidental damage or soiling. Do not
drop or drag the Awning on the ground.
Note: When removing the clear protective wrap from the Awning, do not use a knife or box cutter to cut
plastic wrap as you could accidentally slice into your Awning Fabric.
Note: Your Awning has been shipped to you fully assembled but it is important to follow this instruction
manual to securely fasten the Mounting Brackets to your home and install the Awning.
Please read these instructions completely before installing your Awning. Please note, you will need an
assistant(s) for installation. Left and Right references are as you face the house. You have been provided with
the proper fasteners for mounting to your structure (either wood lag screws or masonry bolts).
For the greatest enjoyment of your Lateral Arm Awning, please mount as high on your wall as possible,
with a recommended mounting height of 9'. If your Awning is a motorized model, your electrical cord will
allow you 18' to reach your GFI outlet and you will find your Remote Transmitter attached to the cord. It is
recommended that you install a protective Cover or Hood on your Awning. If a cover has been purchased
with your Awning, install after Step 15. If you are installing to a soffit, install the cover at Step 27.
Operation of your Awning
Note: If you purchased an 18', 19' or 20' Awning please review the CAUTION on Page 14, under "Test for
Proper Operation" before using your Awning. Your Awning, once installed, has the ability to be opened
partially or to its full projection to suit your deck or patio design. The pitch of your Awning may be easily
adjusted, up or down, from the factory setting based upon your actual mounting height. Please see
Appendix B on Page 23 if you would like to make this adjustment.
Note: Please follow the Care and Maintenance Guidelines on Pages 16 through 18 for proper use and
inclement weather precautions.
Please retain your Owner's Manual and Installation Instructions for future reference regarding operation,
care and maintenance, troubleshooting, customer service and warranty information.
