AC1000 PAN & COVER AWNING
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
*The door or window being covered must clear the understructure of the awning when fully open.
*There should be 78" to 84" distance from the floor or slab to the bottom of the awning when installed over a door so there
is room to walk under it without ducking.
*Smaller awnings can be assembled on the ground and then attached to the building in one piece.
*If columns or posts are necessary for support, they must be attached to a fixed surface or cemented in.
IF INSTALLATION IS ON A BUILDING WITH.....
*Wood or aluminum lap siding-attach mounting rail (flashing) directly under an overlap using 1 ¼" hex head screws at pre-
punched locations. These are punched at 9" centers.
*Aluminum siding with soft backer-it is important to locate the studs before attaching mounting rail (flashing). If the pre-
punched holes do not line up with the studs drill new ones. Be sure to fill all the pre-punched holes with 1 ¼" screws to
avoid any leakage.
*Masonry-follow a mortar line. Drill 1 5/16" deep holes using a 1/4" drill bit at the pre-punched hole locations. Use a fiber
or plastic plug and secure with 1 ¼" screws.
Tools required
Electric drill with 11/64" bit and ¼" bit, tape measure, level, hammer, metal snips, Phillips screw driver, 11/32" and 3/8"
socket or wrench, caulking
Step 1
Run caulking compound along the back of the mounting rail (Part A) that is facing the house, and attach using the correct
application (from above).
