Cleaning and maintenance
Mounting the tension rafter
Awnings with a length of 4 metres or more need to have a tension rafter fitted in the
middle of the awning. This prevents the awning from sagging.
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. 9, page 7 and fig. 0, page 7).

Retracting the awning
A
NOTICE!
• Only retract the awning when the fabric is free of debris (branches,
leaves or similar). Otherwise the awning may be damaged when it is
retracted.
• Keep the awning free of dirt to prevent abrasions, stains and mildew.
• When retracting the awning, make sure that no branches or other
objects are trapped in it.
• If the awning is retracted when wet, extend it again and let the fabric
dry out at the next opportunity. If the wet fabric stays rolled up for a
long time, mildew will form and the fabric can fade.
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. a, page 8 to fig. e, page 10).
