Installation
Installation site
WARNING
Consult a specialist, if there is any doubt on the
load carrying capacity of the installation site.
Prior to the installation, check if the wall or ceiling at
the installation site has sufficient load carrying capac-
ity.
Special care needs to be taken if the installation shall
be carried out at an insulated wall or ceiling, as the
increasing demands on thermal insulation reduce the
tensile forces of anchor bolts and other fastenings.
Make sure the installation site is straight and allows
the correct positioning of the awning in terms of
height and the desired pitch angle of the awning. The
non-retractable parts of the awning are designed in a
way, that following max. loads do not lead to deforma-
tion (if the screen is fully retracted):
10468366: 600 N
10468367: 700 N
10468368: 800 N
10468369: 1000 N
10468370: 1200 N
Wind resistance classes
This awning is designed to withstand Beaufort force 5
wind speeds, which equals wind resistance class 2.
The combination of wall type and mounting material
used at your installation site might result in a lower
wind resistance class for your awning.

To prevent risks during installation, the installer
must have sufficient knowledge in the following
qualifications:
•
Occupational safety and health (OSH), opera-
tional safety and accident prevention regula-
tions given by the Employer's Liability Insurance
Association
•
Handling and transport of long and heavy com-
ponents
•
Handling of ladders and scaffolding
•
Evaluation of basic structures of a building
•
Handling of tools and machines
•
Handling and installation of fastening equipment
•
Commissioning and operation of products
•
Electrical work and repairs must be performed
by a qualified electrician
In case not every qualification can be covered by
the installer, seek for a professional installation
specialist to perform the installation.
An installation specialist will be able to provide infor-
mation about the wind resistance class the awning can
withstand after the installation. The table below can
be used to identify different wind speeds by observing
tree movement:
WIND SPEED IMPLICATION
up to 19 km/h Leaves and small twigs constantly moving
20 - 27 km/h Small branches begin to move,
loose paper is raised from the ground
28 - 37 km/h Branches of moderate size move, small trees in leaf
begin to swat
38 - 48 km/h Large branches in motion, umbrella use becomes dif-
ficult
