Step 3: Drill Holes
Use 14-mm masonry drill to drill the holes for the brackets at the appropriate marks on the wall. The
holes should be 9 cm deep in the wall and must be drilled through solid masonry or concrete. Do not
bore through mortar because this does not offer strong enough support for the heavy duty anchors,
which are required for the installation of awning.

deep holes.
Step 4: Insert Heavy Duty Anchors
After drilling, clean the holes by blowing them out. Then insert the heavy duty anchors into the
holes. Before inserting lose the nut, washer and clamp ring. Put them at the side, so that you have
them at your fingertips.
It may be necessary to drive in the anchor bolts with a wooden hammer because they do not go in
easily. First loosely screw a nut on the screw of the heavy duty anchor. Screw the nut to the outer
metal edge of the heavy duty anchor, make sure the nut is loose so that the cone on the back can-
not be pulled into the metal jacket and spread it. Now, the power of impact will also be effective to
the jacket, so that not only the cone will not be pushed out of the anchor, but that the jacket will be
moved into the hole too. Only use light force to drive the heavy duty anchor into the wall. Caution:
Applying too hard force might damage the heavy duty anchor! If you have doubts pull out the anchor
and drill the hole again, but do not make it bigger.
Attention: If you find that there is no resistance when you pull out the nut of the heavy duty anchor,
then the heavy duty anchor has not enough anchorage. You have to repeat the complete assembly
with a minimum offset of 15 cm!
For correct mounting jacket of heavy duty anchor must be inserted completely, it may not overlap! If
necessary remove the anchor and drill the hole deeper.
Measure the distance between the wall brackets and transfer it
to the line at the wall/ceiling.
