Installation

Window Awning Kit includes all materials necessary for installation !

Window Awning Kit includes the following :

1. Window Awning (flex) Pans
2. Appropriate # of 3/4" return arms
3. (1) adjustable "U" bracket & screws for each return arm
4. (1) adjustable "U" bracket & screws for each stringer
5. (1) offset sleeve for each return arm to stringer *(with a return arm)
6. (3) Cotter pins for each return arm
7. (2) Screws for each adjustable bracket
* Some Window Awning installations will not allow for a return arm.

1. With screws provided, install 2 adjustable brackets (#3) on each side of window on top (approx. 2" on either side of window and 2" from top of window.) (For wider awnings with more than 2 arms, place additional brackets spaced at even intervals between outside brackets).

2. Using cotter pin, attach each "stringer" (#4) to top bracket as shown in the attached photo.  The bracket mount must be spread slightly to accommodate the "stringer".

3. The return arm (#2) should be mounted in a near horizontal position. This will allow for any awning adjustment you may desire by using any of the pre-punched holes in the "stringer".  Attach the return arm to the stringer by spreading the "fins" on the arm and inserting the cotter pin through one set of the pre-punched holes. Hold the return arm in an approximate horizontal Position and place it against the wall to determine the mounting location of the lower bracket. Mark this location and install lower bracket. Insert cotter pin through lower bracket and return arm.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 on each awning support assembly.

5. To install the "flex" pans, start at the very top of the awning. Begin by hooking ONLY the uppermost side of the pan onto the stringer. (Do not snap into place yet, as they will all be snapped in place as the last step.) Place second, third, etc. pans on the stringers until all are laying on the stringers with only the top portion hooked into place.

6. Center all pans and line up either side of the pans (while they are laying there) by using a straight edge to "tap" each pan into place in a straight line.

7. Stand-back and "eyeball" the alignment of the pans. When you feel comfortable with the alignment we can snap the "flex" pans into position.  Starting at the top, place the palm of your hand directly over the pans at the point where they are resting on the stringer. At this point, (using moderate downward pressure) run your hand down the slats until all pans are "snapped" into place.

8. Repeat step 7 for each stringer.
