Operating instructions
• As far as possible, only retract the sun protection system when it is clean and dry. Try
to remove any leaves and the like before retracting. Damp or wet awning covers should
be fully extended to dry out as soon as possible. If this is not done, creases or other
visual damage may be caused to the awning which are not covered by the guarantee.
• Units that are fitted with manual stop for the end profile must be unlocked before the
covering is retracted.
• Optionally-fitted front banners cannot be used as railing or balustrade.
• Do not step on glazed areas of glass roof systems.
Operation with electric drive or control system
• We recommend that sun protection systems fitted with an electric drive, also available
as an option, are controlled by a wind sensor or automatic sun-wind controller. This will
greatly reduce the risk of damage caused by wind and rain.
• If the sun protection system is retracted by the wind sensor, on some models it may not
be possible to extend it again for 10 – 20 minutes during the wind blockage time.
• It should be remembered that strong gusts of wind may occur when a storm is brewing
and the wind sensor may not be able to react quickly enough.
• If the sun protection system does not have a sun or wind sensor, it must be retracted if
you leave the house for holidays, the weekend, shopping and at night.
• Awnings with electric drive and automatic control system must be set to manual opera-
tion during the winter months. Iced-up awnings should only be extended again when
the ice has melted.
• The electric drive is fitted with a thermal protection switch and is not designed for
permanent operation. If the drive overheats, because of frequent extensions and retrac-
tions, for example, it will switch off automatically, no matter which position the awning
is in. The electric drive will operate again after a cooling-off period of 10 – 45 minutes,
depending on such factors as the outside temperature, power output and roller posi-
tioning.
• Sun protection systems with electric drives cannot be retracted in a power failure,
caused by a storm, for example. If you leave the house for a longer period for holidays
or the weekend, for example, we recommend setting the automatic control system to
manual operation.
The sun protection system must be operated in accordance with these instructions. Other
uses are improper. STOBAG cannot accept liability for damage caused by improper use.
