Checking and monitoring the sun protection system
For personal safety, it is important that these safety instructions are complied with and kept in a
safe place.
•
The performance of a product depends on how it is assembled and installed.
•
Check the awning system for signs of wear or damage.
•
On motorised systems, check the electrical leads for damage.
•
Do not use units that are in need of repair.
•
Monitor the sun protection system when it opens and retracts and keep people clear of the
area until the system has fully opened or retracted.
•
The installation work may only be performed by trained personnel.
Guidelines for systems with automatic controls
•
Disconnect the sun protection system from the power supply before performing maintenance
or installation work.
2.2 General note on the tension rope
The tension rope used on the clamping system begins to wind around a
rope drum located inside the cassette as soon as you open the sun
protection system. The width of the rope drum is enough to take several
wound lengths of tension rope lying side by side. Once there is no more
space to the side, the next coil will wind over the one before. The
tension rope may then become instable and slip to one side. In this
case, you will hear a crack. This will not damage the sun protection
system. The more you open the sun protection system, the more the
clamping system will tension the fabric. And the more tension there is in
the tension rope, the louder the crack that will be heard.
2.3 Intended use
The Sottezza II is designed to open in order to protect exposed areas from undesired sun.
Failure to use the product as intended may result in severe danger.
Alterations not envisaged by weinor, such as attaching items or conversions, may only be
carried out with the manufacturer's written consent.
Additional loads on the sun protection system caused by hanging objects from it or by anchoring
ropes may result in damage or cause the system to fall and are therefore not permissible.
2.4 Improper use
Only use original spare parts on the sun protection system. Only use the sun protection system
as a sunscreen. Never affix/hang heavy articles to/from the sun protection system. Never open
the sun protection system or allow it to be opened in winds stronger than wind category 2.
