Important safety instructions
A
NOTICE!
• Park the motorhome or caravan so that no debris (branches, leaves or
similar) can get onto the fabric. If the wind sensor is triggered by a
strong wind, the awning retracts automatically and any debris lying on
the fabric can result in damage to the awning.
• The fabric edges of the awning should not hang down and must be
taut at all times. If the fabric hangs down, it could rub on the arms and
get damaged.
Readjust the outer limit if the fabric hangs down when the awning is
fully extended.
On long awnings the fabric may sag in the middle.
• Only retract the awning, when the fabric is free of debris (branches,
leaves or similar). Otherwise the awning can be damaged when it is
retracted.
• Keep the awning free of debris to avoid abrasion, stains and mildew.
• Only retract the awning wet in case of safety issues. After this open it
as soon as possible to dry. Otherwise the awning could become
mildewed, or discoloured, or stained.
• Never pull an awning arm or the cover down to drain water off the
awning. This can bend the awning and impair its function.
• Do not hang any objects on the awning, on the front cover or the
awning arms.
• Do not use any sprays (e. g. insect repellent, hairspray) near the
awning. This will soil the fabric or the water-repellent effect of the
fabric will be lost.
• Do not exceed the rated operating time of 5 min/hour.
• If there is insufficient space above the door after the awning is
mounted, the door must remained closed when retracting or
extending to avoid the door making contact with the arms or the front
panel.
The required space depends on the design of the door (door width,
swing or sliding door) as well as the set awning angle of inclination.
