• Place safe ladders on a flat, dry, stable surface at both ends (and in the middle if wider than 12’) of where the awning will be
installed
• Assure that the awning is in the closed position and the arms are tied closed. This will prevent the unit from inadvertently
opening while being lifted into the brackets.
• With the help of a capable assistant (or two-if your awning is more than 12’ long), lift the awning to the brackets and slip the
torsion bar (back bar) into the brackets. Make sure the torsion bar slides all the way to the back of the bracket. Then slide
the retaining bolts into the brackets. Center the unit as needed then tighten the nuts on the retaining bolts.
• If the torsion bar does not easily slip into the brackets, make sure the torsion bar is held in place and lift or lower the front bar
slightly till it is horizontal with the torsion bar. You may need to loosen the brackets slightly to accomplish this fit.
• Once fully secure, retighten the nuts on the brackets and carefully cut the zip ties off the arms.
