• Do
not
allow dirt, leaves, or other debris to
accumulate on the awning, which could cause
abrasion and stains. Mildew could grow on the dirt
and organic debris, causing permanent discoloration,
stains, and odors to the awning fabric.
•
Never
close the awning for storage when wet. The
combination of moisture and dirt could result in
mildew, discoloration, and stains.
I
If it is necessary to close the awning temporarily
while it is wet, make sure you open it and let it dry
as soon as conditions allow before closing it again.
11.1 Cleaning the Hardware
• Clean the awning hardware as needed with a mild
surface cleaner, such as dish soap.
• Apply silicone spray lubricant as needed to keep the
fabric roller tube assembly’s moving parts operating
smoothly.
• Lubricate all sliding surfaces of the arm assemblies
with silicone spray as needed.
11.2 Cleaning the Fabric
Vinyl fabric offers the advantage of durability and water
resistance.
I
Wrinkling is a normal characteristic of vinyl.
Wrinkling may be more noticeable when retracted,
and after prolonged periods of being rolled up
and stored. Leave the awning open during warm
weather to minimize the wrinkling.
1. Mix 0.25 cup (59 ml) dish soap and 0.25 cup (59 ml)
bleach to 5 gallons (19 L) of fresh water to use as a
cleaning solution.
2. Liberally drench the open the awning fabric with
cleaning solution.
3. Close the awning.
4. Let it soak for 5 minutes.
5. Open the awning.
6. Thoroughly rinse the awning to remove the solution,
repeating as often as needed to be sure you have
removed the solution completely.
I
Bleach will degrade the awning fabric if it is not
completely removed.
7. Allow the awning to dry thoroughly before rolling up
and stowing.
11.3 Repairing a Pinhole in the
Fabric
NOTICE:
Never
close the awning when the Vinyl Liquid
Patch (VLP) patch is wet. Otherwise, the VLP will melt
through the layers, causing damage to other parts of the
awning fabric.
You can also use this procedure to repair patches where
coating has flaked off the top layer of the vinyl fabric:
1. Apply a very small dab of VLP on the tip of a cotton
swab.
2. Gently roll the cotton swab around the pinhole. The
VLP melts the coating on the fabric, which quickly fills
in the pinhole and blends with all colored vinyls.
3. Allow the VLP to dry thoroughly before rolling up and
stowing the awning.
