MAINTENANCE
Always retract and keep your awning fully closed whenever inclement weather is
in the forecast to prevent damage from accumulated water, snow or from strong
gusts of wind. Advaning recommends protecting the awning with a soft cover
during prolonged periods of non-use.
Note: Strong winds can cause the fabric canopy to shift if left open. In the case
of shifting fabric or should the fabric become free from either the front bar or
aluminum roller tube, promptly close the awning, secure the arms with ties/straps
and contact Advaning’s customer service department for assistance. Rain, snow,
and/or hail can directly damage the fabric canopy and cause pooling, which may
then lead to arm malfunction or collapse. Always close the awning whenever
rain, snow, and/or hail is in the forecast.
Should your fabric canopy get soaked by rain or hose, it is recommended to allow
the fabric to fully dry before closing/retracting. Soaked fabric can provide an
environment where mold and mildew can grow. If the awning must be retracted
while soaked, make sure to open it as soon as the weather permits to allow for
full drying.
To clean your awning fabric, lower the pitch (see page 10) and open the awning to
access the top of the fabric and for proper drainage. Use a mild soap and water
mix (1 part soap to 2 parts water) and a standard garden hose to gently remove
any accumulated dust, dirt, or debris. Raise the pitch to its regular setting and
allow the awning to fully dry before retracting/closing. To dust the awning, a
damp cloth, chamois, or soft bristle brush is recommended.
The FS Series awning is made of powder-coated steel and aluminum and, with
care, can last for many years. It is important to regularly (seasonally) inspect the
fasteners and connections and the condition of the metal components.
