SUNSETTER AWNING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PAGE - 5
5. Position the bracket on the wall (or on the siding block), centered over the vertical line, with the bottom of the bracket even with the bottom of the bracket even with the lower horizontal chalk line. Using a level, plumb the bracket vertically, then mark the top and bottom holes--see figure 5.
6. Remove the bracket and drill the top hole through the siding block and about 3 1/2" into the stud or joist, using a 1/4" drill bit. This will prevent the framing from splitting while installing the lag screws. Make sure the bottom hole is plumbed with the top hole, then drill the bottom hole.
7. Using a 9/16" socket, install the bracket with the two 3/8" x 4" long lag screws. Use the flat washer provided under the head of the screw. While tightening the lag screws, keep the bracket plumbed (use level if needed). Do not over tighten the lag screws; doing so may split the wood framing or weaken the screw -- see figure 5.
8. Repeat for all brackets.
Proceed to step 15.
Installing the brackets on masonry, brick or concrete walls
9. On the chalk line you have marked on the house, mark the left and the right ends of the awning. With the exception of the 10' awning, which measures 122" left to right, all other awnings measure exactly like their defined size. (For example, a 12ft awning measures 144" from left to right). Using the following chart, mark on the wall the location of the brackets and draw a 7" vertical line at each location.
| Size | Loc.(a) | Loc.(b) | Loc.(c) | Loc.(d) | Loc.(e) | Loc.(f) | Loc.(g) |
| 10ft | N/A | 5" from end | N/A | 61" | N/A | 5" from end | N/A |
| 11ft | N/A | 10" from end | N/A | 66" | N/A | 10" from end | N/A |
| 12ft | N/A | 14" from end | N/A | 72" | N/A | 14" from end | N/A |
| 13ft | N/A | 20" from end | N/A | 78" | N/A | 20" from end | N/A |
| 14ft | 5" from end | 26" from end | N/A | 84" | N/A | 26" from end | 5" from end |
| 15ft | 5" from end | 32" from end | N/A | 90" | N/A | 32" from end | 5" from end |
| 16ft | 5" from end | 38" from end | N/A | 96" | N/A | 38" from end | 5" from end |
| 17ft | 5" from end | 44" from end | 70" from end | 102" | 70" from end | 44" from end | 5" from end |
| 18ft | 5" from end | 50" from end | 76" from end | 108" | 76" from end | 50" from end | 5" from end |
10. Position the bracket on the wall, centered over the vertical line, with the bottom of the bracket even with the lower horizontal chalk line. Using a level, plumb the bracket vertically, then mark the two hole -- see figure 7.
CAUTION: The masonry fasteners that are supplied with this awning ARE NOT designed for use in the joint between two bricks. They are ONLY to be installed within the main body of a brick, not near an outer edge of the brick ( see figure 6). The fasteners are also not suitable for crumbly cinder-block type construction. Consult a local hardware store for fasteners that fit this type of application. Do not use the supplied masonry fasteners on a Stucco wall.
11. Remove the bracket and drill a 1/4" pilot hole using a masonry drill bit, about 3" deep for the top hole. Make sure the bottom hole is plumbed with the top hole, then drill the bottom hole.
