Instructions for the assembler and the user:
All the operating instructions, assembly instructions as well as adjust -
ment instructions of the manufacturer of the motor, of the switcher
and of the control must be given to the user with a guide�
He must be comprehensively informed about the safety information
and user instructions of the awning. Failure to observe this informa -
tion and incorrect operation may cause damage to the awning and
accidents. The instructions must be kept and must be handed to the
new owner in case of the awning is given to a third� According to the
knowledge of the local conditions and of the executed assembly, the
installation company declares to the user if the wind resistance class
indicated by the manufacturer has been achieved in mounted con-
dition. If not, the installation company must document the actually
achieved wind resistance class�
The user and the assembler shall be responsible for proper functio -
ning of the wind monitoring system and its regular check and function
monitoring� In case of storm damage occurred in spite of wind mo-
nitoring, the supplier and manufacturer of the awning do not accept
any warranty. Sensors with sun monitoring must be turned off over
the winter�
In case of improper use the risk of injury is higher:
- Instruct all the people in using the motor and the controls safely�
Please monitor the moving awning and keep away people until the
movement is over
- Do not allow children to play with fixed or remote controls.
- Please keep the hand transmitter so that any undesired operation,
e.g. by means of playing children is excluded.
- Carry out maintenance and cleaning work on the awning exclusively
in absence of voltage�
Care and maintenance:
The awning is basically maintenance-free� All aluminium parts have
a high-quality powder coating, as well as the screw connections of
stainless steel�
No corrosion may occur to these components� We advise to clean the
cassette every 6 weeks with a damp cloth.
The awning cloth has a high-quality coating and is therefore suitable
for outside use�
We advise for the cleaning a solution of laundry detergent and a soft
brush� You can achieve good results in case of stubborn stains also
with a rubber� Never clean by means of a high-pressure device, becau-
se it damages the waterproofing.
Product features of awning coverings:
We process exclusively high-quality polyester and acrylic fabrics
in our awnings. The polyester fabric is made out of short fibre.
For the acrylic fabric the yarn is spun-dyed�
A refinement of the surface ensures that the fabric contains
water-repellent and dirt-repellent properties as well as the prevention
of mould formation.
Important consumer information:
Awning covers are high-performance products� However, limits to
their perfection are set by environmental protection requirements
and with the current state of technology� Certain phenomena in the
fabric, which sometimes are subject of complain, are possible in spite
of sophisticated manufacture and processing technology.
Such phenomena do not diminish the value and the usability of the
awning. To prevent irritation, we would like to expressly point out the
following properties, within the scope of consumer awareness:
Bending folds
They originate at the moment of the manu-
facture and when the sun protection fabric is
folded� A dark line, which originates because
of the folding of the fibre, may become visible
in back light particularly in case of bright
colours (Light refraction). (Img. 1)
Waviness in the seam and length area
It can occur in the side seams, in the vicinity of the seams and in the
centre of the lengths� The cover is laid double on the seams� This
results in different rolling diameters.
The tension that arises due to the folding arms and the drooping of
the roller tube and/or the front profile may enhance these effects.
Waviness can originate if a water pocket forms during heavy rain�
(Img. 2,3)
Stretching of the side lengths
The cover is usually kept permanently taut by means of an active
spring system. Seams and hems have a reinforcing effect but must
also undergo the most strain� When the cover is rolled up the hems
and seams lay on top of one another, this increases the pressure and
tension even more. Seams and hems are pressed flat and increase in
length� When the awning is moved out this can lead to the side seams
hanging down slightly. (Img. 4)
Waterproofness/resistance to rain
Polyester fabric is coated with a water-resistant finish and remains
resistant to rain during a short, light shower of rain with good care
and a pitch angle of at least 15°. During longer periods and/or heavy
rainfall the awning must remain closed or rolled up in order to avoid
damage. Should the cover have become wet the awning must be ex -
tended for drying later, in order to avoid the formation of mould stain.
Further information about the properties of awning covers as well
as the most important state-of-the-art cases of application is to be
found in the guidelines for evaluation of ready-made awning fabrics -
