markilux important notes
Important information for the users of markilux awnings
1. Manufacturing number
Every markilux awning was produced individually according to your guidelines and has a fabrication number on it, through which this
product becomes a unique product identifiable at any time.
2. Marking of important safety instructions
With this triangular warning, notes regarding dangers are
marked which can result in bad injuries or even death.
Furthermore it marks important information on the function
of the awning!
5. Wind resistance class
3. Reading of "Important Instructions" and the "Operating Instructions"
4. Proper use of an awning
With this triangular warning, notes are marked which respond
to dangers by electric shock resulting in bad injuries or even
death.
The instructions handed by the authorized markilux specialist must be read before the first awning use. It is important to read all instructions
for the safety of persons. All instructions are to be stored by the customer and have to be handed over to the new owner in case of an
eventual transfer of the awning to Third Parties.
0-14°
The awning is a sun protection construction.
Improper use may lead to significant hazards.
If the awning inclination is less than 25% =
14° measured at the horizontal or the awning
is not extended entirely, then it must not be
burdened by rainwater. If this is the case,
there is a risk of the formation of water
troughs in the awning cover and the awning
may become damaged or even detached
from the wall.
Alterations like rebuilding or enlargements
which are not intended by the manufacturer
may only be carried out with the markilux
manufacturers written approval. Additional
awning burdens by means of object
attachments or or rope wearing can result in
damage or dropping of the awning and are
therefore not allowed.

The awning meets the requirements of the above stated wind resistance class. Explanation
see "Handover certificate from the specialist dealer". The CE indicates that
correspondence with the requirements of the applicable European directives is proven. The
corresponding declarations of performance and EU declarations of conformity can be
requested through the markilux specialist dealer.

9. Motor in the event of a power-cut
6. Use in case of snow, ice, thunderstorm, storm and absence, also with automatic control
8. Obstacles
The awning must not be extended at snowfall or risk of frost. There is risk of the awning to be
damaged or crash down. When a storm or bad weather front is approaching, severe gusts of
wind can occur suddenly to which even an automatic control mechanism cannot react with
suicient speed. An automatic control enhances the awning comfort, but does not excuse
from the duty of care! During absence for longer periods, e.g. holidays or during the night, an
automatic control system does not guarantee an enduringly faultless operation of your
awning.
Attention! It is recommended to retract the awning before freezing wetness starts, at
approaching storm respectively bad weather fronts or at absences. A possibly existing
automatic function is to switch o!
Foliage and other foreign objects located on the awning cover, inside the awning box and in the guidance bars are to remove immediately.
There is risk of the awning to be damaged or crash down. Snow accumulation behind the awning must be avoided by installing a snow guard
(snow fence or similar) or by regularly removing the snow load.
In the awning extension area, no obstacles may be located. There is danger for persons to be
squashed in there. In order to avoid this, a safety distance of at least 50 cm has to be
observed.
A motor-driven awning cannot be retracted without electricity. In very windy areas with frequent power cuts the use of an emergency power
supply should be considered. Otherwise always retract the awning if the power is scheduled to be cut!
Attention! When working in operation radius (e.g. cleaning or service works), make sure the awning to be currentless (e.g. power switch
o, remove plug coupling at drive cable, ...) There is risk of squeezing and falling down.
10. Uncontrolled operation during cleaning and maintenance jobs
There is a risk of crushing body parts and falling. For works on manually operated units the crank should be removed and stored safely. If
awnings are operated by various persons, a locking device switching of prime importance (controlled circuit breakers from outside) must be
actuated, so that every awning retraction and extension is made impossible. Persons not familiar with proper awning use must not operate
them.

11. Repair and spare parts
The awning is to check regularly for signs of wear or damage at covering, frame and its fixtures (with electric connection: also the power
supply lines). The durability of the fixtures should be checked on an annual basis by means of a visual inspection or by an annual servicing of
the marklilux specialist dealer. If damages occur, an authorised markilux specialist dealer is to be entrusted with the adjustment. Only spare
parts released by the manufacturer may be used.
Attention! Risk of injury! Please never try to repair disorders on your own! Awnings which need to be fixed must not be used. Talk to
your authorized markilux specialist about a preventive maintenance agreement!
12. Crushing and shearing zones
Attention! Depending on the type of awning there are crush and shear zones, e.g. between front profile and cassette and between
moving parts. Items of clothing or limbs can be grabbed by the unit and pulled in. If the awning is assembled at a height less than 2,5 metres
above accessible traic ways, then the awning may only be actuated by a pushbutton switch which allows viewing the moving parts.
Electric controls, radio-controlled motors with click in-switches are not permitted for such installations.
13. Metallic and pearl glimmer coatings of the awning frame
The look of plastic coatings of metal and plastic parts in metallic and/or pearl glimmer colour vary. These visual dierences concern in
particular the intensity and characteristic of the metallic eect, which may also lead to a change in the perception of the basic shade.
14. Disassembly and disposal
Attention: Risk of injury! When disassembling and disposing of the shading system, the parts under tension (e.g. folding-arms,
counter tension systems or servo gear unit) have to be relaxed completely or secured beforehand. A markilux specialist should be
commissioned for this!
15. Maintenance and care, characteristics cover and awning frame
Whether a cleansing is necessary or not depends strongly on environmental influences (traic, air pollution, industrial gases etc.). Depending
on the degree of pollution, a regular cleansing is recommended.
Attention! Always use an appropriate ascending aid and never rest again or attach to the awning!
15.1 Awning cover in wet condition
If possible, retract the awning when it is dry only! If the awning must be retracted wet, it has to be extended as soon as possible in order to
dry. By the cover permanent weight, a deflection is possible which increases in wet condition. This occurrence does not influence the awning
function and running qualities.
