The crank mechanism of the awning has no end stop
for the limitation of the cloth shaft turns. Therefore,
please always ensure that the awning cloth is wound
onto the cloth shaft at the top to avoid damage to the
cloth.
– If the winding direction is wrong, please com-
pletely unwind the cloth. It is then totally slack
and is now wound on around the top in case of
further winding in the same direction.
• The cloth must be tightly wound!
– When turning the crank handle, please hold it
vertically to avoid excess wear to the crank and
eyelet of the gear mechanism.
Care, storage, disposal
Cleaning and care
During periods of short absence, and if the wind
increases, the awning should be brought in.
If the awning has become wet, allow it to dry out as
soon as possible in its extended position. If the awn-
ing is rolled up for an extended period, unsightly
stains may easily develop.
For cleaning, use a dry brush on the fabric of the awn-
ing. Remove persistent dirt with warm soapy water
and a brush. Leave to dry out before retracting.
Never use cleaning agents containing solvents. They
cause bleaching of the fabric and damage the weave.
In order to avoid damage as far as possible, never
use alkaline or acidic cleaning agents or steam jets to
clean the fabric. To prevent material fatigue, it is nec-
essary to prevent the formation of water pockets
(water accumulation on the cloth) by draining off rain-
water.
The following features may not be viewed as faults as
long as they do not become unreasonably frequent:
– Sagging of the cloth due to its own dead weight
is possible.
– Colour deviations between individual lengths of
fabric may occur for production-related reasons.
– Different shades, however, are merely optical
phenomena. They occur due to different light
refractions on smooth and folded points.
– An uneven thread path can occur when making
up.
General notices regarding the awning cloth
Awning cloths are high-performance products. How-
ever, there are limits to their perfection arising from
the state-of-the-art technology and due to the require-
ments of environmental protection. Certain features
in the cloth, which are occasionally complained
about, are possible despite advanced production and
processing technology. Basically, these effects occur
in different thickness grades in almost all awning
cloths. They do not, however, in any way reduce the
quality of the cloths.
• Creases are caused during the packaging and
folding of the awning cloths. In this case, espe-
cially with light colours, surface effects (pigmen-
tation changes) may occur in the crease, which
look darker (like dirt streaks) when held against
the light source. They do not reduce the value
and suitability for use of the awning.
• Chalk effects are light streaks, which occur on
refined products during processing, and which
cannot always be completely avoided, even
though utmost care is taken. They therefore also
do not substantiate grounds for complaint.
• Resistance to rain: Polyester sun protection awn-
ing cloths have a waterproof impregnation and
are capable of withstanding light, short rainfalls at
a minimum inclination of14 degrees. In case of
stronger or longer periods of rain, awnings must
be retracted to avoid damage. Awnings retracted
in wet conditions must be extended again to dry
as soon as possible.
• Undulations in the hem, seam and web areas are
caused by multiple fabric layers and different
winding thicknesses on the cloth shaft. The
resulting stresses can cause undulations (e.g.
waffle or herringbone patterns).
• The thread used for the cloth need not have the
same colour as the part of the material in which
the seam is situated.
Storing
Store the awning in a dry environment for long peri-
ods of storage.
Disposal
Disposing of the packaging
The packaging consists of cardboard and
correspondingly marked plastics that can
be recycled.
– Make these materials available for
recycling.
Disposal of the awning
At the end of its lifespan, dispose of the awning
according to the regulations applicable in your own
country.
Malfunctions and troubleshooting
In the event of a malfunction…
NOTICE! Possible damage to the awning
fabric!
Do not unnecessarily expose the
awning to wet conditions!
NOTICE! Possible damage to the awning
fabric!
Ripples in the vicinity of the hem,
seam and panels is the result of multiple ply
fabric and different wrapping thickness on
the cloth spindle. The stretching in the
material that results can produce patterns
on the fabric.
Ripples from wrapping next to the seam on
the rolled up and unrolled cloth are caused
by double ply material in the vicinity of the
stitching.
DANGER! Danger of injury! The awning’s
hinged arms are under very high spring ten-
sion. Disassembly of the awning may cause
serious injury. Please contact your dealer if
the hinged brackets do not function prop-
erly.
Please contact a specialised company in
case disassembly is required.
