A) SERIES:
TOPLINE (TOPLINE, TOPLINE PLUS, TOPLINE CASSETTE),
TRENDLINE (TRENDLINE, TRENDLINE CASSETTE, TRENDLINE SUNBOX, TRENDLINE SMARTBOX)
EXTENDING THE AWNING:
Hook the crank handle into the gearbox eye and extend the awning by turning the crank anti-clockwise until the
awning reaches either the desired or the end position. The awning‘s end position (fully extended) is permanently set in the factory. The awning
cloth remains tensioned at all times during this process. If the awning cloth loses tension, the tension should be restored by retracting the jointed
arm awning.
RETRACTING THE AWNING:
Turn the crank handle anti-clockwise until the awning is closed.
When the inside and outside end positions have been reached, do not continue to forcibly turn the crank handle. There is the risk of
damages to the gearbox and of the cloth overexpanding or folding.
Jointed arm awnings may only be operated by persons who have received instruction from specialist staff. Ensure that children do not
operate the awning unattended. Keep remote controls out of the reach of children.
When working in the area surrounding the jointed arm awning‘s deployment area, the automatic control (wind, sun control) must be
switched off with a monitored, priority switching locking device (e.g. key switch), such that the jointed arm awning cannot be extended
when controlled automatically.
Jointed arm awnings should be retracted at night and before leaving home.
Do not extend jointed arm awnings in freezing, snowy or very windy conditions. Jointed arm awnings can be used as rain protection to
a limited extent. For this, the awning must be fully extended and the minimum incline is 14° (25%). Unsupervised use as rain protection
is not permissible, as it is not entirely possible to exclude the formation of water pockets.
Fixed objects must be at least 40 cm away from the extension area of the drop profile.
The Vario valance (an optional accessory) must be rolled up before the jointed arm awning is retracted.

B) SERIES:
SWINGLINE (SWINGLINE, SWINGLINE CASSETTE)
The crank gearboxes of the SWINGLINE series of awnings have no end stop on the front, but a freewheel to prevent incorrect cloth
winding. At this point, however, the cloth can sag without any tension.
EXTENDING THE AWNING:
Hook the crank handle into the gearbox eye and extend the awning by turning the crank anti-clockwise until the
freewheel reaches the end point and the cloth is relieved of tension. Briefly turning back achieves the best cloth tension.
RETRACTING THE AWNING:
Turn the crank handle anti-clockwise until the awning is closed.
Do not continue to forcibly turn the crank handle when it reaches the end positions inside. There is a risk of damages to the gearbox
and of the cloth overexpanding or folding. This is prevented on the outside by the freewheel.
C) SERIES:
FIRSTLINE, BASICLINE
These crank gearboxes have no end stop on the front to prevent incorrect cloth winding. At this point, however, the cloth can sag
without any tension.
EXTENDING THE AWNING:
Hook the crank handle into the gearbox eye and extend the awning by turning the crank anti-clockwise until the end
point is reached and the cloth is tensioned.
RETRACTING THE AWNING:
Turn the crank handle anti-clockwise until the awning is closed.
Do not continue to forcibly turn the crank handle when it reaches the end positions inside. There is a risk of damages to the gearbox
and of the cloth overexpanding or folding.
