PW1100
• Retract the awning if strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall are
imminent.
• Make sure that water or snow does not accumulate on the fabric.
Otherwise this could damage the awning or the awning arms could
collapse and cause severe injury or fatality.
• Do not approach the awning
– if it was left open during heavy winds
– if pools of water have formed on it
– if snow has accumulated on it
– if any debris is on the awning fabric.
The awning may move unexpectedly, become unstable and bend or
break.
• Do not leave the extended awning unattended. Retract the awning
before leaving your location.
• Keep a safe distance away from the awning when having barbecues or
open fires. The fabric can be damaged by heat or catch fire.
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Park the motorhome or caravan so that no debris (branches, leaves or
similar) can get onto the fabric.
• The fabric of the awning should not hang down at the edges but must
be taut at all times. If the fabric hangs down, it could rub on the arms
and get damaged.
The fabric should not sag in the middle with long awnings.
• 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 dirt to prevent abrasions, stains and mildew.
• Only retract the awning if it is wet for safety reasons. Extend it again as
soon as possible. Otherwise, mildew or stains can form or the color
may fade.
• Never bend 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.
