Safety instructions
Attention! Risk of injury or danger to life due to an electric shock!
- Set-up, examination, commissioning and error correction of the unit
must only be performed by authorised or trained expert staff (as per
VDE 0100).
- Switch off the current to the connecting lines when working at the unit.
There is danger to life! Take safety precautions against unintentional
switching on!
- Check the electrical wires regularly for damage. Do not use the unit if
any damage is found.
- Our electrically driven units are in accordance with the regulations for
power plants acc. to VDE 0100. We cannot guarantee for the
operational reliability of the unit with non-approved modifications.
- The enclosed installation instructions of the electrical devices supplied
must be observed.
Units with motor drive:
The drives used are operated with a voltage of AC 230V/50Hz. Please
check the power supply provided by your utility company before
connecting. Any other voltage can destroy the drives.
Danger of squashing
To avoid at the best the danger of squashing in the area of movable parts,
such as roller tube, cassette, folding arms, front rail etc., especially when
automatic devices are used or when the unit is for example operated
automatically by a wind controller or rain sensor, it is mandatory that the
awning is installed in a height of at least 2,5 m or above, measured from
the floor or a permanent access way.
Hereby it must be observed, that a distance of at least 0.40 m between
the front rail and a fixed object is ensured, if the front rail, due to the
inclination of the awning, goes below a height of 2.5 m, measured from
the floor or a permanent access way.
If such an installation is due to the local situation not possible , the client
has to take appropriate safety measures, such as a cover or placing the
operating switch (touch contact switch) within sight of the awning.

Safety instructions
If it is necessary to lift the awning via ropes at a higher altitude, the awning
must
- be removed out of the packaging.
- be tied to the pull ropes in such a way, that a slipping out of the awning
is prevented,
- lifted evenly in a horizontal position.
The same applies for the removal of the awning.
It is not allowed that climbing aids are leaned against or fixed to the
awning. They must have a stable base and provide a firm support. Only
use climbing aids with an appropriate carrying capacity.
When working at higher heights, there is risk of falling. Please make sure
that suitable fall protection devices are used.
Awnings are only allowed to be used for the purpose specified in the
instructions for use. Changes, such as extensions or rebuildings, that are
not provided by the manufacturer, are only allowed to be carried out with
the manufacturer’s written approval.
Additional loadings such as objects that are sticked to the awning or cord
tensionings can damage the awning or lead to its crashing, and are
therefore not allowed.
