Assembly instructions terrace awning TR850
G.2. Maintenance
- The terrace awning is in the first instance a sun blind. With a suitable slope, i.e. 15 to 20 degrees,
the sun blind can also be used to provide shelter from moderate rain. It goes without saying that a
sudden large quantity of water on the blind will cause sagging if the water is not drained off. Sag-
ging may cause a large quantity of water to collect, which will lead to overloading of the blind. If it
is desired to leave the terrace awning permanently in the open position, it is necessary to provide a
sufficient slope (i.e. at least 27 cm drop per 100 cm).
- The blind will be at its greatest tension when it is at its full extent. It is therefore recommended to roll
out the blind fully during moderate wind. It is only in this position that the fabric will be fully taut.
- As a result of the dirt which is always in the air, the fabric and the rails will certainly become dirty
after a certain time. These particles of dirt may settle in the groove ahead of the runners. Accumula-
tions of dirt in the grooves will cause the mechanism to run unevenly, which may eventually result in
the whole blind seizing up. The guide rails should be regularly cleaned for this reason.
- Turning parts exposed to the atmosphere will be sure to run dry after a certain time and start squeak-
ing. For this reason, pulleys should be regularly lubricated. Make sure regular lubrication is supplied
to the pulleys in the base, and to those in the corner pieces.
- Also, at least once a year, lubricate the bearings of the axle in the casing.
- If the blind has become wet, it is better to let it dry off than to roll it up immediately.
If the awning and the fabric have been caught by rain, it is better to let the fabric dry up before rolling
it up. Rolled up wet fabric stays wet for a long time therefore risks rotting or getting mouldy.
