Install wall brackets securely on the face of Bracket (B) with the nuts, washers and bolts
provided.
Insert a 5/16” x 1” hex bolt into the bottom holes of Bracket (A) and (B). Install lock washers
and nuts loosely.
Using a ratchet and 9/16” socket, install 5/16” x 1” hex bolts, lock washers and nuts to secure
the support arms (C) to the inside edges of Bracket A.
Using a level, install the support arm to bracket B through the holes that most closely set
bracket B vertical.
Tighten all nuts and bolts securely.
Seal the shingles back together with quality roofing sealer.
INSTALLING THE AWNING ONTO THE BRACKETS
• 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
• For the DESTIN® only: Assemble the hood and secure the mounting bracket to the back of
the back bar of the awning (see diagram on page 26 for installation instructions)
• 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.
