Nut and bolt
You will also need: screws, plugs, Philips head screwdriver, drill, hammer drill (if drilling into concrete),
measuring tape, spirit level and size 8 screw x 25mm counter sunk
If installing on a brick wall NEVER put the screw into a mortar line. If the position, you need to drill
is over a mortar line move up to the centre of the brick above that position.
Check the size of your blind against the label, which will be attached to the packaging, or it could be on the
blind.
1. If needed install the pivot pin into the end of the blind and plate to the idle end bracket, using nut and bolt
provided. You will now have two different brackets the control end and idle end.

Installing The Brackets:

2. The outside measurement from bracket to bracket is the OPEN size, it is the width of your awning. Mark where
the control end bracket is to be installed and the idle end. Drill, plug and attach brackets. Ensure that the
positions where the fasteners run through the brackets are secured into brick, or into the wall's structural
support. NB: Ensure that the brackets are fitted level horizontally.
3. If needed attach gearbox to bracket, using nut and bolt provided. The gearbox can be positioned in two different
angles. Betta Blinds recommend the gearbox to be angled outwards for ease of use. NB: Bolt from the
outside in.
4. Hang the awning. The crank end (square tube end) goes in first. Drop the other
end onto the slotted part of the pin. Secure this end with the split pin supplied.
5. Position saddles where required and attach to bottom fixing point refer to picture1
See below if the awning has a valance.
6. Insert crank handle into eyelet and wind down your blind. The blind must roll in a backward direction. Lock snap
pins onto saddles and crank handle backwards to tighten fabric. NB: Over tightening of fabric will cause
fabric to stretch.
If you order a valance you will need to do your own fabric cut out for the bottom rail saddle position
