The Girard Lateral Arm Awning incorporates the very latest in technology
and design. This box awning offers total protection in all weather as it
applies the following advanced features:
• Convenient push button operation and an optional remote con-
trol for state of the art convenience.
• Retractable arms have twin cables for increased fabric tension
and longer life. Angle of arm is adjustable from 5º to 35º for
maximum comfort.
• All profiles are made from aluminum, which is then powder
coated to give maximum protection for both housing and
mechanical parts.
• 100% acrylic fabric is weatherproof, permeable to air and
resistant to mildew, rotting and fading.
• Motorized operation, which includes a manual/crank override.
• Wind sensor and/or optional remote control.
Motorized Operation:
Motorized operation is simple in itself. Motor (110 Volt) is housed in
roller tube where it is protected from view and elements. Push the bottom
button momentarily to extend the awning all the way. The awning will
extend until it reaches the full extend position. Press the top button to retract
the awning. The awning can be stopped in either direction, at any point,
using the center stop button.
CAUTION: The motor is not designed for continuous use. In the
event that the motor is used to excess, it will automatically shut off
and be inoperative until internal breaker cools down and resets.
The run time is four to five minutes per hour. Reset time will be 30
minutes to one hour depending on the outside temperature.
The awning will then extend to its full projection. To retract the awning,
put the switch in the
UP
position. There is no need to hold the switch once it
has been activated. To stop the awning at any point in its projection or retrac-
tion, move the switch to the center position. The switch should be left in the
center position at all times when the awning is stationary. The motor used in
the Girard uses 300 watts and draws approximately three amps of power.
Manual Operation:
To manually operate the awning, use the telescoping crank handle sup-
plied and follow the instructions in Manufacturer's manual.
Wind Sensor:
The awning is fitted with a wind sensor which is designed to retract
automatically in the event of high winds, as long as it has 110 Volt power
