WARNING!
To reduce the risk of serious injury or damage to equipment, read all following
safety instructions before assembling and using the sun shelter.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury or death.
•
Keep all children and pets away from assembly area. Children and pets should be supervised while pergola is being
assembled.
•
This pergola is for domestic outdoor use.
•
Install the pergola on level ground. Stakes are provided to secure the pergola to the ground. Do not assemble the pergola on
sandy, muddy or loose soil, as stakes do not have enough
holding strength
in these types of soil. If you wish to secure the
pergola to a wood deck or concrete surface, use anchors suited to these surfaces (anchors not included).
•
Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary during assembly.
•
This unit is heavy. DO NOT assemble this item alone. Make sure there is sufficient manpower for safe assembling or moving
the pergola.
•
Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness and when required, tighten them again.
•
ALWAYS REMOVE the canopy before experiencing heavy wind conditions, as it is a semi-permanent construction and not
designed to withstand harsh weather, including high wind,
or heavy rain
and snow.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT use or enter the pergola under harsh weather (e.g. thunderstorms, high winds, hail, heavy snow etc). In these
conditions, it might tip over and could cause serious injury to bystanders. Any damage or injury caused by
these conditions
is not
covered by the warranty.
• DO NOT install the pergola adjacent to trees or a sloped roof. Snow and ice may slide onto the
pergola
and cause it to
collapse.
• DO NOT hang any weights on the roof frame.
• DO NOT use a ladder leaning against the pergola for or climbing onto the roof.
• Keep away from heat or flame source.
• If the pergola will not be used for a long period of time (e.g. during winter time), disassemble and store it in a clean, dry
environment.
