INSTALLATION 2.1 TOOLS AND MATERIALS (Percussion) drilling machine Drill bits, suitable for the drilling substrate and the mounting pieces Ratchet (catrake) with socket, or ring spanner SW 17 (SW19 for M12) SW 5 Allen key Cross head screwdriver Spirit level and string for alignment String for alignment of the brackets Test cable, resp. adjustment set (for initial operation) 2.2 PREPARING THE INSTALLATION Transport the awning to the site of installation, ensuring that the orientation is correct. The location of the drive side isindicated on the packaging. Secure the installation zone (the secured zone must be at least equivalent to the size of the fully deployed awning). If the awning is hoisted to higher installation positions with ropes, the awning must be removed from the packaging. When attaching the hoisting ropes, ensure that the awning is properly fastened, but not damaged. Hoist the awning exclusively in horizontal position and evenly. Before commencing the installation, please verify whether the type and number of brackets is in conformity with the order and whether the base material is the same as that stated on your order. If significant differences make the safe installation of the awning seem doubtful, please consult the manufacturer of the system and a mounting/installation specialist. If the information above is not observed, the awning system may fall down and put the health of persons at risk! 2.3 WIND RESISTANCE CLASSES DEFINITION: DIN EN Item 4.1. defines different wind resistance classes for awnings. The classification depends on the quality of the product. The higher the class, the better the quality of the product. WIND CLASS WIND FORCE WIND SPEED Class 0 undefined, product not tested or unsuitable Class 1 4 (according to Beaufort wind scale) km/h Class 2 5 (according to Beaufort wind scale) km/h Classification of the SWINGLINE CASSETTE awning Version / extended length SLC 1500 mm SLC 2000 mm SLC 2500 mm SLC 3000 mm Wind class June 2016 Misprint and technical changes reserved. by WOUNDWO Art.-Nr.: _EN 3

To protect human safety, the mounting height must be at least 2.50m. If the situation requires a mounting height less than the stated minimum height, the awning must be operated exclusively with a switch mounted at a location from where the moving parts can be observed. SLC-300 SLC-250 SLC-200 SLC-150 hight of awning in mm System height in mm DETERMINATION OF THE MOUNTING HEIGHT FOR WALL-MOUNTED AWNINGS: The mounting height depends on the extended length and inclination of the awning. Please refer to the drawing on the right for basic orientation. Always ensure that there is sufficient headroom. The awning is appropriate to a limited extent as a means of protection against rain. In any event, the minimum inclination for such applications must be 14. The limitations of the use are defined in the relevant operating instructions projection Projection in in mm mm 4

5 POSITION OF THE BRACKETS: The position of the brackets is determined by the width of the awning system, so this dimension can be established either by measuring the awning or it can be found on the order documents. The outer edges of the brackets should be the same as the width of the system; the awning unit may protrude but by no more than 10mm. The basic part must not protrude beyond the bracket sides, i.e. the brackets must fully encompass the awning's fixings. Failure to comply may result in damage, malfunctions or even in the awning collapsing. min. 20 for recess system width = outer edges of the bracket bracket 180mm bracket 180mm min. 20 for recess The fixing screws (threaded rods, concrete anchors, etc.) for the brackets must not interfere with the awning's basic part. Failure to comply may lead to the fracture of the basic part and could result in the awning collapsing. min. width of awning DRILLING HOLES FOR THE BRACKETS: Place the brackets' drilling outline on the desired bracket positions For structural reasons, fixings must be used in all bracket drill holes.

Downgrading the wind class of the awning due to poor installation conditions is only permitted in extreme cases, and then only with the prior agreement of the end user.

6 The standard number of brackets supplied is correct for these values if mounted in concrete. If the supporting strength of substrate is weaker than concrete and if using injection anchors, please consult a qualified installation specialist. Downgrading the wind class of the awning due to poor installation conditions is only permitted in extreme cases, and then only with the prior agreement of the end user. A reduction in the anchoring strengths can also be achieved by the use of bracket plates (as shown opposite). The bracket shown in the adjoining picture is shown with covers on both sides, which are optional. Shown in the adjoining table are the maximum anchoring strengths when using bracket plates, subject to the size of the awning and wind class (see Table 2.3.). ulling forces at assembly with bracket plates: mounting Wall Pulling forces at assembly with bracket plates (N) max N Width (mm) Projection (mm) grey cells: only in wind class 1 possible MOUNTING ON THERMALLY INSULATED FACADES: Insulating plaster and full multi-layer thermal insulation are not pressure stable. Therefore, it is necessary to use backing for the entire bracket surface, or at least distancers for the area around the screws. The accompanying figure explains a possible variant: Insulation protection taken out Distance tube 6

BRACKET MOUNTING: Loosely fasten all brackets and achieve true alignment. Even out irregularities of the base by using suitable spacers.

An awning can weigh up to 60kg; the weights are stated on the packaging. Insert the slightly upward tilted awning into the brackets, first top then bottom. Push the awning to the rear and then lower.

Insert the locking pieces laterally into the grooves provided between bracket and basic part.

7 BRACKET MOUNTING: Loosely fasten all brackets and achieve true alignment. Even out irregularities of the base by using suitable spacers. Then tighten all screws and check that brackets are firmly attached. 2.7 FITTING THE AWNING Ensure that sufficient personnel are available to lift the awning. An awning can weigh up to 60kg; the weights are stated on the packaging. Insert the slightly upward tilted awning into the brackets, first top then bottom. Push the awning to the rear and then lower. The awning will be held independently only in case of wall mounting and when in the correct position, but it must still be secured. Insert the locking pieces laterally into the grooves provided between bracket and basic part. Align the awning laterally and tighten the locking screws with an SW5 Allen key to the extent that the awning sits in place with no play. This secures the awning and prevents it from falling down. Caution: The bracket (1) must fully encompass the basic part of the awning (2); the basic part must not protrude beyond the bracket. Failure to comply may result in damage, to malfunctions or even in the awning collapsing. Screw the lateral covers on to the bracket. Press in the drillhole covers on the underside of the bracket. 1 2 June 2016 Misprint and technical changes reserved. by WOUNDWO Art.-Nr.: _EN 7

8 3. INITIAL OPERATION Before the initial operation of the awning, remove all objects (e.g. ladders, tools etc.) from the full travel range (in/out) of the awning and from underneath the awning. During the trial operation, ensure that nobody is in this area there is a risk of injury in case of a malfunction. 3.1 WITH HAND CRANK Caution: The hand crank for the SLC awning does not have an end stop. Inverse winding of the cloth may result in malfunction. Insert the hand crank into the drive gear eye and extend awning until the fabric is unwound. The best cloth tension is achieved by making a short retraction. When winding up the awning for the first time, check that the covering is wound up properly and that the jointed arms fold correctly (parallel). The cover (cloth) must always be wound on to the top side of the roller tube. 3.2 WITH DRIVING GEAR For trial operation, always use the test cable (no automatic control units etc). In addition, the operator must be able to see the awning. If the test cable has not yet been connected, connect to the cable of the driving gear. The end position switches of the motor are factory set. If corrections are necessary on location, these can be carried out in accordance with the Driving Gear Instruction Manual. Fully extend awning and check switch-off point. In fully extended condition, the awning is optimally stretched. When winding up the awning for the first time, check that the covering is wound up properly and that the jointed arms fold correctly (parallel). Electrical installation work and connections to the mains must be carried out exclusively by a licensed electrical company. 3.3 SETTING THE INCLINATION OF THE AWNING ADJUSTMENT OF THE ARM INCLINATION: Half extend the awning. Remove the screws from the underside of side covers (1) and remove the covers. Slightly loosen hex-head screws (2) with ring spanner or ratchet with SW17 socket (do not remove fully!). For fine adjustment, slightly lift to relieve the weight and turn threaded pin (4) as appropriate. If the adjustment of the threaded pin as such is not sufficient, the cylinder pin (3) can be inserted in a different bore (12 offset per bore). To insert the cylinder pin in another bore, also relieve weight on the arm, then insert cylinder pin in the correct bore and perform fine adjustment. In the event of a significant change of the inclination setting (more than 12 ), the arms must be adjusted alternately. After the arm adjustment, firmly tighten screws (2). 8

9 Attach the cover and secure with the screws (1) COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION / TRANSFER TO THE CLIENT Clear site. Remove packaging materials from site and dispose according to local regulations. In the event of queries at a later date, the WO&WO order number and the product name must be recorded by the installer on the operating instructions under "Product labelling". Hand over to client all instructions concerning the installation and operation of the awning as well as the instructions for the electrical connections of control units and switches. Give client comprehensive instructions about the operation of the awning. Failure to observe the instructions and incorrect operation can result in damages to the awning and accidents. Notify client of the wind resistance class of the awning. 4. DISMOUNTING Ensure that the area around the awning is free of unauthorized personnel. Shut off power to motor-driven awnings and take steps to ensure they cannot be switched on again. Dismount the awning exclusively in retracted condition. Dismounting of the awning is the reverse of the mounting procedure. June 2016 Misprint and technical changes reserved. by WOUNDWO Art.-Nr.: _EN 9
