Folding arm awning manual, 4-2008

Safety instructions and use
•
Installation of the awning must be carried out by someone who has
sufficient technical knowledge/experience, or by an installer;
•
Always study the manual(s) before installing or carrying out maintenance
work or repairs to the product. Never start work without the manual(s);
•
Do not remove any screws or other parts;
•
In the case of an electrically operated awning, check the local mains
voltage and frequency. An electrically operated awning will be supplied for
a 230 V and 50 Hz as standard. Other regulations or voltages and/or
frequencies may apply and/or be prescribed, depending on the local
situation. This will prevent the motor from burning out;
•
The electric motor is protected against overloading. If this protection is
triggered, the awning cannot be operated for some time. After expiration of
the time period set by the manufacturer of the motor, the awning can again
be operated as normal. Please refrain from overloading the motor. For
further information, please study the manual for the electric operation and
the motor.
•
Study the manual of the electric operation, and ask your supplier for an
explanation of the instructions if required;
•
Only use the controls supplied to manually or electrically operate the
awning;
•
Always keep the awning in full view when operating the product using
remote control. People, animals or objects may be in the way;
•
Keep your distance from a moving awning. A moving awning can cause a
dangerous situation or injury. Avoid the risk of being pinched or knocked;
•
Close the awning before it becomes wet due to, for example, rain, fog,
dew, snow or hail, or in the case of strong winds and/or wind gusts;
•
Should the fabric become wet anyway, allow it to dry as quickly as
possible by extending the awning fully. This will prevent the fabric from
deteriorating;
•
When closing the awning, please ensure there are no foreign objects
attached to the fabric. This may damage the fabric and other parts of the
awning and/or create a dangerous situation;
•
Ensure that an electrically operated awning never opens or closes when
not required, for example, when you are cleaning the awning. You must
ensure that the tube motor is disconnected when cleaning the awning or
performing maintenance work;
•
We recommend you install a single window cleaning switch for all your
electric sun blinds and awnings. In this way, you will be able to switch off
the electric operation of the sun blinds and awnings connected. This will
prevent your sun blinds and awnings from opening when work is being
performed on the outside wall (for example, when the window cleaner is
doing his or her job);
