INSTALLATION MANUAL 5
Leave the Covana cover open for more than
12 hours. This could cause the cover to warp over
time.
Converge or directly reflect sunlight on the cover.
This could cause permanent damage.
Wash the cover with harsh chemicals or cleaners.
Use a pressure washer to clean any component of
the COVANA cover. This could result in premature
wear or damage.
Use an extension cord to connect the Covana
cover to its power source. The cord may not be
properly grounded, and the connection is a shock
hazard. An extension cord may cause a voltage
drop, which would cause the motor to overheat.
CAUTION
Be sure to follow all instructions in this manual and
use only COVANA-approved accessories and
tools.
Do not roll the Covana cover onto its side or slide
it on its side. This will damage the siding.
After removing a part, always place it in a safe
place on a clean and level surface to ensure
proper functionality.
All four posts of the COVANA cover must be
properly anchored to the foundation using the
anchoring holes located at the foot of each post.
The optional non-permanent mounting plates can
be used when anchoring is not possible, but under
strict condition. See Non-permanent mounting
plates installation section on Installation Manual
for further details.
This product mainly contains steel, plastic, copper
(Cu), fiberglass, foam and die-cast aluminum (Al).
The gearbox contains oil and other materials.
Please recycle them properly.
Both the up and down limit switches are pre-
adjusted at the factory. The down-limit switch
should never be re-adjusted. The up-limit switch
should be re-adjusted only to reduce the maximum
height of the cover to avoid possible contact with
its surroundings. Please refer to the Limit Switch
Adjustment section in this manual before making
any adjustments. An improper adjustment can
result in damage to the drive system and/or cover.
Avoiding the risk of electrocution
ELECTRICAL DANGER
Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in death by electrocution or serious injury.
Disconnect or turn off and secure all power
supplies before starting any intervention on the
COVANA cover.
A disconnect mean needs to be incorporated into
the fixed wiring at the time of installation. This
mean must be accessible to the user or service
technician to turn the power off for future
maintenance or repair.
Always have a licensed electrical contractor
perform any electrical maintenance or repairs on
the COVANA cover. The wiring must comply with
all applicable local electrical codes and
regulations.
The COVANA operator must be connected to a
circuit that is protected by a dedicated ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) that complies with all
applicable local electrical codes and regulations.
Install the COVANA cover in such a way that
drainage directs water away from the electrical
and base mechanical components.
Do not connect any auxiliary components to the
electrical system of the COVANA cover unless
they have been approved by COVANA.
Replace electrical components with original
components provided or approved by COVANA.
Ask your dealer for replacement parts.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace all
damaged electrical cables immediately. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious personal injury
due to electrocution.
Do not bury any electrical cables. A buried power
may result in death, or serious personal injury due
to electrocution if direct burial-type cable is not
used, or if improper digging occurs.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the green-
colored terminal or the terminal marked “g,” “gr,”
“ground,” “grounding” or with a ⏚ symbol that is
located inside the supply terminal box or
compartment must be connected to the grounding
means provided in the electric supply service
panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in
size to the circuit conductors supplying the
equipment.
