MAINTENANCE OF STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
9.2
IMPORTANT: please open and close the awning periodically (open the fabric
completely and fold it up completely) and check periodically the correct operation
of the parts and their lubrication. Do not leave the product unused for long periods.
In order to keep the product in perfect operating conditions and safe proceed as follows:
•
yearly check the tightening and the integrity of bolts and nuts, as well as screws. Check
that the floor attachments and wall/ceiling attachments are in perfect conditions. Check the
condition around the fixing devices (pay attention to cracks and that the screws are properly
tightened).
•
yearly, before use during summer check the tensioning of the belts and the condition of the
trolleys (check that the slot of the guides housing the trolleys/belts is completely free from
leaves or other material). Lubricate with silicone lubricant the moving parts;
•
yearly, or possibly more often, check that the gutters are free of leaves and debris. Remove
parts that block the movement or prevent water from flowing out;
•
yearly, visually inspect the bearing structure. If necessary clean the surfaces of the aluminium
beams before removing dirt, dust and smog. Clean the surface with paper cloth and a damp
sponge;
•
yearly, make sure that the remote controls are working as well as the sensors (in particular the
wind sensor) and the lighting installation. Check the grounding is efficient;
•
yearly, check the side drop awning, both the conditions of the zips and the sliding of the front
section along the guide. Check the fabric conditions as well.
RECOMENDATIONS FOR THE OPERATOR IN CHARGE OF DISMANTLING:
• the operations must be carried out when the awning is fully packed;
• Disconnect the power supply to the system.
• Disconnect the system downstream the cut-off switch.
• Disconnect the engine.
