10. Repair and spare parts
The awning is to check regularly for signs of wear or damage at covering, frame and its fixtures (with electric connection: also the power
supply lines). The durability of the fixtures should be checked on an annual basis by means of a visual inspection or by an annual servicing of
the marklilux specialist dealer. If damages occur, an authorised markilux specialist dealer is to be entrusted with the adjustment. Only spare
parts released by the manufacturer may be used.
Please never try to repair malfunctions on your own! Awnings which need to be fixed must not be used. Talk to your authorized
markilux specialist about a preventive maintenance agreement!
11. Crushing and shearing zones
Depending on the type of awning there are crush and shear zones, e.g. between front profile and cassette and between moving parts.
Items of clothing or limbs can be grabbed by the unit and pulled in. If the awning is assembled at a height less than 2,5 metres above
accessible traffic ways, then the awning may only be actuated by a pushbutton switch which allows viewing the moving parts. Electric
controls, radio-controlled motors with click in-switches are not permitted for such installations.
12. Metallic and pearl glimmer coatings of the awning frame
The look of plastic coatings of metal and plastic parts in metallic and/or pearl glimmer colour vary. These visual differences concern in
particular the intensity and characteristic of the metallic effect, which may also lead to a change in the perception of the basic shade.
13. Disassembly and disposal
When removing and disposing of the sun protection system, the parts under pre-tension (e.g. tensioning systems) must be completely
relaxed beforehand or secured. A markilux specialist should be commissioned for this!
14. Maintenance and care, characteristics cover and awning frame
Whether a cleansing is necessary or not depends strongly on environmental influences (traffic, air pollution, industrial gases etc.). Depending
on the degree of pollution, a regular cleansing is recommended.
Always use an appropriate ascending aid and never rest against the awning or hold on to it!
14.1 Awning cover in wet condition
If possible, retract the awning only when it is dry! If the awning must be retracted wet, it has to be extended as soon as possible in order
to dry. By the cover permanent weight, a deflection is possible which increases in wet condition. This occurrence does not influence the
awning function and running qualities.
