For awnings with control, the automatic mechanism must be switched off beforehand and the wind sensor must be secured by
interrupting the power supply. Kindly consult also the information sheet "Important instructions for the users …"
the awning must be retracted at wind speeds of more than 48 km/h / 30 mph. Gusts of wind can the fabric cover to hit the cover support
profiles / rain gutter and thus generate noise. As a result, draining water may miss the gutter. The awning system must be retracted in gusty
wind conditions
The awning can be used in light, uniform rain. In case of heavy rainfall the awning must be retracted.
Snow loads are not permitted.
In order to eliminate accumulated dirt on the awning frame, only
commercially available household detergents for delicate surfaces
(pH-value: between 5 und 8) are to be used. Caustic acids and
materials which cause scratches (like fleece containing abrasive
material, emery, sand, pumice etc.) are not allowed, since they could
strongly change the surface.
Accumulations of dirt in the lateral guide tracks (1) in the area of
the tracfix system (2) may lead to noises during retraction and
extension. The development of noise can be minimised through
regular cleaning and polishing of the track area (3).
