4 Caring for vertical awnings
Proper, regular maintenance of the vertical awning as well as the
use of original spare parts are essential for trouble-free operation
and a long service life. The manufacturer recommends annual
cleaning.

• Before all work on the vertical awning, always switch off
the power using the fuse�
• Secure the fuse box against unauthorized insertion of fuses�
An optionally installed climate system (e�g� wind or rain and
sun sensor) can cause the awning fabric panel to move au-
tomatically, which can lead to accidents resulting in serious
injuries�
