Crank Handle with a Weather Box (Hood)
Please Note: These instructions should be read thoroughly before installing.
This is a guide to assist in the installation and care of your external awnings. Betta Blinds and Awnings do not
guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in this guide. We recommend an experienced expert installer
to rely upon their own skills. This is based on general knowledge concerning the assembly, materials and working
process of the external blinds, which is known to us at the time of printing this guide, consequently, is subject to
change and Betta Blinds and Awnings specifically reserves the right to change this guide without notification.
Ensure all components are included in your packaging, before proceeding to install:
Gearbox
Nut and bolt for gearbox x 4
Crank handle (if required)
Weather Box

You will also need: screws, plugs, Philips head screwdriver, drill, hammer drill (if drilling into concrete), measuring
tape, spirit level and shifter
If installing on a brick wall NEVER put the screw into a mortar line. If the position you need to drill is over a
mortar line move up to the centre of the brick above that position.
Check the size of your blind against the label, which will be attached to the packaging or the blind.
Fitting the Weather Box (Hood)
1. Remove the awning from the weather box.
2. Attach end caps to hood using rivets supplied (3 at each end).
3. Measure the width of the hood then the width of the window. The difference between the
two is the total amount of overhang your box will have. Divide this number by two to
determine how much overhang you will have on each side. E.g. If the hood measures 2300
and the window measures 2000, the total overhang will be 300mm. dividing by two equals
150mm each side of the window.
4. Carefully raise the weather box into position ensuring that it is horizontal. Mark the top drill
hole through the eyelet - refer to picture 1 - and then the bottom hole.
5. Pre-drill all holes and plug. When all holes are drilled, carefully position the hood and fasten with screws.
6. If needed install the pivot pin into the end of the blind and plate to the idle end of the hood, using nut and bolt
provided.
7. If needed attach gearbox to the weather box using nut and bolt provided. Note: If the awning is a reveal fit
attach the gearbox to the weather box before installing the bracket to the structure. The gearbox can be
positioned in two different angles. Betta Blinds and Awnings recommend the gearbox to be angled outwards
for ease of use. NB: Bolt from the outside in
