12. Using the 3/8" masonry bit supplied, drill both holes 4-1/2"
deep. Do not allow the holes to become tapered or oversize while drilling
to this final size.
CAUTION: You must drill there holes in the two specified steps. If you
do not follow these steps, the size of the hole can become too large and
the bolts will not hold properly.
13. Place a flat washer under the head of the masonry bolt and screw the bolt into the hole using a 9/16", socket - see figure 7. Repeat for other bolt. While tightening the bolts, make sure to keep the bracket plumbed (use a level if needed). Do not over tighten the bolts.
WARNING: YOU MUST BE SURE THE MASONRY BOLTS ARE TIGHT IN THE HOLES. IF NOT, REMOVE THEM AND CONSULT A LOCAL HARDWARE STORE FOR FASTENERS THAT FIT YOUR APPLICATION.
WARNING: SOME BRICK WALLS MIGHT NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SAFELY SUPPORT AN AWNING. WE SUGGEST TO CONSULT A LOCAL HANDYMAN OR CONTRACTOR FOR PROPER MOUNTING.
WARNING: FAILURE TO SECURELY FASTEN THE BRACKETS TO THE WALL OR FAILURE OF THE WALL TO SUPPORT AN AWNING COULD RESULT IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE AWNING AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
