Maintenance
Regular maintenance will not only help to contribute to a long durability but is also important for your own
and the safety of other people.
• Periodically check the seating and installation of the wall brackets. Tighten the nuts if they are loose.
• Check whether the motor is running normally. If you detect any problems, stop using the awning and
have the motor repaired.
• Examine the bolts and nuts once every half-year; fasten them if loose.
• Stop using the awning immediately if it has been damaged or is not tightened properly.
Please contact an authorized service centre for repair and if you have any further questions. Normally it
is not necessary to lubricate moving parts of the awning. However, if it should become necessary, e. g.
because of abnormal noise or because extracting is difficult, do only use lubricants suitable for plastic
materials. Do not use lubricants based on petroleum.
Use a straw attached to the spray nozzle. Lubricate generously the area between the end of the roller
tube and the end bracket (pivot pin). Take care not to spray on the fabric material.
Cleaning
Frame: Over time, dust and dirt will collect on the frame and will require periodic cleaning to maintain
its appearance. A mild spray cleaner or water/detergent mixture may be applied to the frame to clean it.
Wipe dust off with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents, e. g. to remove oil residues.
Fabric: Clean the fabric every six months. Only use natural soap, never use chemical detergents. Water
should be cold to lukewarm. Let the fabric dry completely. Do not use heating appliances e. g. hairdryer
for drying.
Dismounting
When you don't want to use the awning anymore or if you want to dispose of it, you have to dismount it.
Attention! At least two healthy adults are need for this step.
• Retract the awning completely before you begin with dismounting. Bind the arms of the awning to-
gether to avoid unintended unfolding. This might cause damage and injury. You can use the protection
band that was fixed on the awning when purchasing it.
• Follow the mounting instructions in reverse order to dismount the awning.
• Make sure that drilling holes in the wall will be sealed professionally.
• Attention! Safety hints and instructions have to be followed for dismounting as well.
Storage
When you do not want to use the awning for a longer period of time it is recommended to take the awning
out of the brackets and store it.
• Make sure that the fabric is completely dry before storing. Storing a wet fabric can cause spots and
damage.
• Store the awning at a dry and safe place that is out of children's reach.
