BASIC NOTES ON ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION:
Assembly and installaon should be done by trained personnel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: For proper installaon of the awning, the instrucons for assem-
bly and installaon must be carefully followed step by step. Keep plasc bags or any other mounng
pieces out of children’s reach.
Do not alter the design or the conguraon of the system, nor modify the installaon method without
consulng the manufacturer or an authorised representave.
If the awning is motorised and there is a switch, this should be placed so that the user does not interfere
with the movement of the awning, and at a height of less than 1.3 metres when possible.
If the awning is manually operated, it should be accessible at a height of 1.8 metres.
If the awning is to be installed in windy areas where there are frequent blackouts, manual operaon or
the use of a back-up generator is recommended.
When motorised units are inspected or repaired, always disconnect them from the power supply.
BASIC PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING OF THE AWNING:
The awning must be rolled away:
In the event of ice, if operaon is parcularly dicult and in the absence of safety measures, stop the
operaon unl more favorable condions prevail
During opening and closing, make sure there is no obstacle which could get in the way. NEVER FORCE
THE AWNING!. If the awning does not move at all when you try to operate it, call a professional installer.
In the case of motorized awnings, it should be borne in mind that the motor features a thermal safety
device to avoid overheang and breakdowns. This device is acvated when the operang switches are
pressed insistently.
Do not submit the installaon to addional loads or stresses not covered by the manufacturer’s
conguraon. Do not interfere with the system’s xing components.
Examine the installaon if it has been subjected to adverse weather condions, and if any repairs are
needed do not use it. In such cases, a professional installer should be called.
Keep the installaon clean and in good condion. A yearly maintenance check by an authorized
professional installer is recommended.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. The system has powerful springs inside it. In the event of
poor installaon, these may cause the awning to open sharply. If any irregularies are observed dur-
ing opening and/or closing, call a professional installer. To avoid possible damage, do not allow
children to play with the awning.
