Important Safety Instructions - Hornbach 10252580 Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

WARNING NOTICE - FOR THE SAFETY OF PERSONS, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE KEPT
-WARNING! Working at high altitudes bears the risk of falling.
Always wear appropriate fall protection.
- If the awning needs to be installed at higher levels that require
the use of ropes, make sure the awning is:
• taken out of its packaging,
• the ropes are suitable to carry the load and fixed in a way that
they cannot slip,
• the awning is lifted evenly and horizontally. The same applies to
the dismantling of the awning.
-Ladders and scaffolding may not be positioned against or
attached to the awning. A firm footing and level ground is
necessary for their support.
-Only use ladders and scaffolding with a sufficiently high load-
bearing capacity.
-At first use, make sure that no person or animal is present in the
protrusion area of the awning. Check if the fastenings and
mounting brackets are still tight after the first opening.
-Use the awning only as specified in the intended use. Changes
such as additions or conversions that are not provided by the
manufacturer, may be made only with the written consent of the
manufacturer.
-Ensure that children and persons who cannot correctly assess
the dangers of improper use and misuse, do not operate the
awning. Awnings in need of repair, with high wear or damage to
the cover or frame, may not be used.
-Prior to each operation, visually check the awning for damages.
If damage is visible, stop using the awning immediately and seek
for authorized personnel to repair the damage.
-Do not touch moving parts during operation.
-There is the potential of crushing, squashing and cutting
between front profile, articulated arms, moving profiles and the
housing, especially when operating the awning with automatic
controls. Make sure there are not objects interfering in the
protrusion area of the awning.
-Prevent clothing or body parts from getting caught and drawn-in
by the awning.
-When working in the protrusion area of the awning, make sure
that it cannot be operated accidentally. Therefore remove the
hand crank and store it in a safe place or switch off the power
supply for the system and take safety precautions against
unintended reactivation.
-The use of tensioning cables or additional load (e.g. hanging
objects to the awning) can cause serious damage or crash to the
awning and are not permitted.
-Foliage or other foreign objects on the awning cloth, the top
cover and in the guide rails must be removed immediately, as
they can damage or crash the awning.
-If the pitch angle of the awning is less than 14° (25%), it shall not
be extended during rain, due to the danger of water pockets that
can damage or crash the awning.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

-Close the awning during rain, snow or wind to avoid damage. If
a wind sensor is used in combination with an electric drive, set
it according to the wind resistance class of your awning.
-Do not extend the awning during snow or frost (danger of
frozen fabric). Snow and/or ice can destroy the awning.
Automatic controls must be set to manual operation under
such conditions, e.g. winter operation.
- Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
-When dismantling and disposing of the awning, the pre-
stressed parts (e.g. articulated arms, back pull systems) must be
completely relaxed or
deployment.
- WARNING! Possibility of injury or death by electric shock!
-During installation, always observe the national installation
regulations.
-When working on the awning, make sure that the power
supply for the awning is switched off and take safety
precautions against unintended reactivation.
-Children must not play with the controls of the awning. Store
remote controls out of the reach of children.
-Regularly check the awning for signs of wear or damage to the
cables. If damage is visible, stop using the system immediately
and seek for authorized personnel to repair the damage.
-Changes to the design or configuration of equipment may not
be made without consulting the manufacturer or his authorized
representative.
-The awning should be visible while operating the switch,
-The switch should be installed in a place that allows the user
to control it safely (away from moving parts), in a height that
corresponds with the national rules for disabled people
(preferably less than 1.30 m, if possible).
-If a manually operated emergency system is supplied, it must
be accessible in a height of less than 1.80 m.
-An awning with electric drive cannot be closed without
electricity. Therefore it is recommended, especially in windy
regions with frequent power outages, to operate the awning
with a manually operated emergency system or an emergency
power supply.
-Caution when operating the closed awning manually, because
it can fall down quickly due to weak or broken springs.
For use of batteries:
-CAUTION! Explosion hazard when the batteries are not
replaced correctly. Only replace with batteries of the same
type. Pay attention to the correct polarity.
-Do not expose batteries (battery pack or inserted batteries) to
excessive heat from sunlight, fire, etc. Protect from mechanical
shocks. Keep dry and clean. Keep out of reach of children.
-Do not open, disassemble, cut open, or short-circuit batteries.
Do not use old and new batteries together.
-Observe the safety notes and other notes on the battery and
its packaging.
-Remove leaking batteries and clean the battery compartment
thoroughly. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
