STEP 7: Can I control how far out the awning opens?
Manual awnings
With the manual awnings, you can control the position of the awning by simply winding out
as far you want to go. The awning will hold at whichever position you wind to.
Electric awnings
The electric awning will stop automatically at the pre-set maximum extension. It will also
stop automatically when fully retracted. If you wish, you can position the awning at any point
between maximum extension and fully retracted by pressing the stop button while the awning
is extending or retracting.
Adjusting the pre-set maximum extension and fully-retracted
positions.
On the left hand end of the rotating barrel are two small hexagonal bolts marked
by directional plus and minus signs. Rotate these bolts gently with a hexagonal key
to change the maximum extension and full-retraction points.
1. Fully-retracted point. Take care not to set this to over-retract otherwise the awning
may be damaged. Rotating towards the negative will reduce the amount that the
awning retracts. If you wish to set the awning so that it retracts further, we recommend
that you fully retact the awning with the current setting allowing the motor to turn
off automatically. Then turn the hexagonal key and one quarter turn at a time towards
the positive. This should cause the front bar automatically to move in a small amount
to the new setting, enabling you to fine tune without risking damage to the awning
due to over retraction.
2. Fully-projected point
Adjusting the slope (if required)
The optimum slope angle (approx 10 degrees from the horizontal) is pre-set at the factory.
It can be adjusted by loosening the 17mm locking nuts on both sides of the arms and then
turning the 13mm jack bolts to the desired angle. Check the built-in spirit level in the middle
on the front bar of the awning. Damage could result if the front bar isn't horizontal. Securely
tighten the 17mm bolts.
General Care & Precautions
The awnings are constructed from weather resistant powder-coated
metal and hard-wearing polyester fabric, and are designed to give
many years of service. Stains and bird droppings etc. can easily be
washed or sponged away, and should not be left for prolonged
periods. The awning should always be retracted in severe weather
conditions.
Guarantee
This awning is guaranteed against faulty parts and workmanship
for one year from the date of delivery. Faulty parts will be replaced
