2.2
Reading the Maintenance Instructions and Directions for Use
Please read the operating instructions before using the wind support for the first time. For per-
sonal safety, it is important that these instructions are complied with. All instructions must be kept
by the customer and passed on to the new owner if ownership of the wind support passes to a
third party.
2.3
Proper and Safe Use
Wind supports may only be used to support awnings in winds of up to Force 5 on the
Beaufort scale (= fresh breeze => 8 - 10.8 m/s => 29 - 38km/h => branches of a
moderate size move. Small trees in leaf begin to sway). The supports can also be
used on Paravento side awnings (but not if the moulded base is used).
Awnings that are secured using wind supports must not be left unattended when open.
Awnings
with a valance and which are secured using the wind support and valance safety device must not be
fitted with sensors which enable the awning to retract automatically. For more specific information
on this, please consult the maintenance instructions and directions for use.
Alterations such as attaching items or conversions not envisaged by weinor may only be carried
out with weinor's written consent.
Additional loads on the awning or wind supports caused by hanging objects from them or by an-
choring ropes may result in damage or cause the awning to fall and are therefore not permissible.
2.4
Operation
It must be assured that no children or people unable to properly assess the risks of
improper or incorrect use should be able to operate the wind support.
