6. Use in case of snow, ice, thunderstorm, storm and absence, also with automatic control
The awning must not be extended at snowfall or risk of frost. There is risk of the awning
to be damaged or crash down. When a storm or bad weather front is approaching, severe
gusts of wind can occur suddenly to which even an automatic control mechanism cannot
react with sufficient speed. An automatic control enhances the awning comfort, but does not
excuse from the duty of care! During absence for longer periods, e.g. holidays or during the
night, an automatic control system does not guarantee an enduringly faultless operation of
your awning.
Before the onset of freezing moisture, when a storm, bad weather or a downpour is
approaching or when you are away it is important to retract the awning in due time. Any
possible existing automatic function must be deactivated.
Foliage and other foreign objects located on the awning cover, inside the awning box and in the guidance bars are to remove
immediately. There is risk of the awning to be damaged or crash down. Snow accumulation behind the awning must be avoided by installing
a snow guard (snow fence or similar) or by regularly removing the snow load.
A motor-driven awning cannot be retracted without electricity. In very windy areas with frequent power cuts the use of an emergency
power supply should be considered. Otherwise always retract the awning if the power is scheduled to be cut!
When working in operation radius (e.g. cleaning or service works), make sure the awning to be currentless (e.g. power switch off,
remove plug coupling at motor cable, ...).
9. Uncontrolled operation during cleaning and maintenance jobs
There is a risk of crushing body parts and falling. For works on manually operated units the crank should be removed and stored safely. If
awnings are operated by various persons, a locking device switching of prime importance (controlled circuit breakers from outside) must be
actuated, so that every awning retraction and extension is made impossible. Persons not familiar with proper awning use must not operate
them.
