The cleaning of the fabric cover is necessary to safeguard the fabric itself against the formation
of mould caused by dust or other material deposits, thus delaying as much as possible the
formation of permanent dirt. It is therefore advisable:
CLEANING THE FABRIC COvER
9.1
•
at least twice a year (in spring before use during the summer season and in autumn before
winter closure) visually check the state of wear of the fabric cover; clear the upper part of the
fabric cover from leaves, branches, pine cones every time deemed necessary;
•
if necessary clean the fabric covers by vacuuming the dust and using a damp sponge or cloth
with lukewarm water and non-aggressive products.
• Follow the instructions shown on the label of the fabric cover, do not dry wash,
do not wash in the washing machine;
• do not use solvents - ammonia - hydrocarbons;
• leave the fabric cover dry after cleaning.
In case of doubt consult the dealer.
The compulsory maintenance required by the end of 2nd year and the following maintenance
operations for extending the warranty year after year must be carried out by a GIBUS technician
and must minimally include an inspection of the correct movement of the fabric, positioning
of the endstops in opening and closing, make sure that the wind sensor is working if
it is present. Also check the recommendations in paragraph 9.2 titled “MAINTENANCE OF
MECHANICAL AND STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS” (such as the belt tension, the conditions of
carriages and fabric). Also, the operations reported in the following paragraphs must be carried
out by the owner or by a specialist paying attention to the following warnings:
IMPORTANT: IT IS COMPULSORY to ask a GIBUS technician for an extraordinary
maintenance operation within the 2nd year from the installation of the awning so
that the warranty will also cover the 3rd year. A compulsory maintenance operation
within the end of the 3rd year will extend the warranty to the 4th year and a
compulsory maintenance in the 4th year will extend the warranty to the 5th year. If
the maintenance operations are not carried out, the GIBUS warranty will no longer
be valid. Use original Gibus spare parts; otherwise, the warranty will be voided.
