BASIC NOTES ON ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION:
Assembly and installation should be done by trained personnel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: For proper installation of the awning, the instructions for assem-
bly and installation must be carefully followed step by step. Keep plastic bags or any other mounting
pieces out of children’s reach.
Do not alter the design or the configuration of the system, nor modify the installation method without
consulting the manufacturer or an authorised representative.
If the awning is motorised and there is a switch, this should be placed so that the user does not interfere
with the movement of the awning, and at a height of less than 1.3 metres when possible.
If the awning is manually operated, it should be accessible at a height of 1.8 metres.
If the awning is to be installed in windy areas where there are frequent blackouts, manual operation or
the use of a back-up generator is recommended.
When motorised units are inspected or repaired, always disconnect them from the power supply.
BASIC PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING OF THE AWNING:
The awning must be rolled away:
I
n the event of ice, if operation is particularly difficult and in the absence of safety measures, stop the
operation until more favorable conditions prevail
During opening and closing, make sure there is no obstacle which could get in the way. NEVER FORCE
THE AWNING!. If the awning does not move at all when you try to operate it, call a professional installer.
In the case of motorized awnings, it should be borne in mind that the motor features a thermal safety
device to avoid overheating and breakdowns. This device is activated when the operating switches are
pressed insistently.
Do not submit the installation to additional loads or stresses not covered by the manufacturer’s
configuration. Do not interfere with the system’s fixing components.
Examine the installation if it has been subjected to adverse weather conditions, and if any repairs are
needed do not use it. In such cases, a professional installer should be called.
Keep the installation clean and in good condition. A yearly maintenance check by an authorized
professional installer is recommended.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. The system has powerful springs inside it. In the event of
poor installation, these may cause the awning to open sharply. If any irregularities are observed dur-
ing opening and/or closing, call a professional installer. To avoid possible damage, do not allow
children to play with the awning.
