Folding arm awning manual, 4-2008
7
4. Safety and use
The fabric of a closed awning is wrapped around a roller tube. There should
not be any obstacles present when opening and closing the awning, which
may impede movement.
Your awning should not be operated by unqualified persons, including
children. Children and bystanders may be put at risk during operation.
Improper use may lead to injury or damage.
If nobody is going to be at home, we recommend retracting the awning and
switching off any automatic controllers. This will prevent damage as a result of
rain and/or wind.
Always use the awning with care and have regular maintenance and
inspections carried out by qualified persons. Should you have any questions
that are not or are not sufficiently answered in this manual, please contact
your supplier for an explanation and/or additional instructions.
In case of black ice and/or snow, please check that the brackets are not frozen
before you operate the awning. This will prevent damage to the awning and/or
the drive
Manual operation
A manually operated awning can be opened and closed by using a control rod.
Use normal physical force when operating the awning. Operate the awning
without making any abrupt movements. Do not close the awning too tightly,
since this will put an unnecessary load on the gears and may lead to damage
and a shortening of its service life.
Only use the matching control rod supplied (i.e. do not use a (wireless) electric
drill and/or screwdriver) with a manually operated awning. Store the control
rod in a safe place after use. Your supplier can provide you with suitable wall
clips for this purpose.
