7.2 Maintenance of the electric motor and remote handset
Outdoor Electric Motor:
The electric Motor is equipped with an automatic overheat shutoff system. If you run your
Solar Shade several times continuously, the motor will stop its operation before it overheats.
The motor will resume normal operation after 20 minutes of cooling down.
Preparing your Solar Shade for winter:
Disconnect the Motor’s power cord from the AC (GFI) Wall Outlet and cover the AC outlet
with a “Weatherproof Cover” to prevent rain and moisture from entering the outlet; this
will interfere with the Motor’s operation in the spring. Before rolling up your Solar Shade
for the last time of the season, make sure the Fabric is clean and dry to prevent mold and
mildew from forming over the winter.
Replacing the battery in your remote handset:
Note that you may have to replace the remote handset battery after 3 years or if it stops
working.
Test the remote handset by holding down a button (see figure 11). The LED indicator
should flash for at least 5 seconds.
You should find this type of lithium battery (3V, CR2430) at any hardware store
.
To replace the battery, you will need to push and slide out the battery cover the back
of the remote handset (see figure 12). Remove the battery cover; check the
orientation of the old battery: this will indicate you the correct polarity, remove the
old battery and put in place the new battery while making certain to respect the
polarity. Re-install the battery cover.
