Wind load
Risk of accident due to strong winds!
• Do not use the awning at wind speeds over 20 kn (38 km/h)�
At higher speeds, discontinue use�
• Retract the awning in good time�
Use of the awning at higher wind speeds than 20 kn (38 km/h)
can lead to accidents and damage�
Wind resistance:
The awning meets the wind resistance requirements of class 2
when extended.
1. In case of expected strong winds (> 20 kn/38 km/h), complete-
ly retract the awning.
2. If present, retract the drop-down valance.
Wind load table
The following table provides an overview of wind strengths and
their properties:
Class
Wind force
(according to
Beaufort)
Wind speeds (kn, km/h)
Impact
0
1 – 3
up to 10 kn
(up to 19 km/h)
Leaves and thin branches move.
1
4
11 kn – 15 kn
(20 km/h – 28 km/h)
Twigs and thin branches move, paper is
lifted from the ground.
2
5
16 kn – 20 kn
(29 km/h – 38 km/h)
Branches move. Small deciduous trees
sway.
3
6
21 kn – 26 kn
(39 km/h – 49 km/h)
Strong branches sway and umbrellas are
hard to keep upright.
4
7
27 kn – 33 kn
(50 km/h – 64 km/h)
Trees sway, strong resistance when walking
against the wind.
When using an optional climate control system (e.g. wind sensor),
present wind speeds are measured in real time and when a lim-
it value is reached or exceeded, awnings are automatically extended
or retracted through a radio signal.
