markilux 990: Maintenance of rain gutter and water drains
Attention:
In order to ensure proper functioning of the rain gutter (3) in the projection profile (1), it has to be cleaned at regular intervals
together with the water drains (4, 5) in the end caps (2) of the projection profile!
When cleaning is necessary greatly depends on the environmental conditions and the location. The proximity of trees encourages
e.g. the formation of moss and algae; in addition foliage and similar particles can cause blockages.
If the awning is on the weather side and has not been in operation for a longer period, a collection of water can form in the front
profile due to driving rain. During extension, things under the awning may get wet and dirty.

What you should also know
Due to the compact awning construction and depending on the width and the projection, contact between cover and folding
arms may occur during extension and retraction. This has no detrimental effect on the functionality and / or durability of the
awning.

STOP
Extend the awning by actuating the pushbutton switch for
extension / retraction. With radio-controlled operation, your
markilux specialist must exactly explain the functions on the
radio remote control to you, since, depending on the equipment,
he can set these for you individually.
Here observe the separate operating instructions of the motor
and, if available, the controller manufacturer. The final stop for
awning extension / retraction is limited. The end stop for the
extension direction will be set by your specialist dealer.

Protection against overheating:
Multiple extension and retraction of the awning in rapid
succession results in an automatic motor switch-off to
preserve it from overheating. After cooling down the motor
switches itself on again in operating readiness.
In a partially extended position and with shallow inclinations
(less than 14°), the danger of water accumulation on the fabric's
surface is greater. The optimum cover tension is achieved when
the awning is extended.
