Important information for the users of markilux awnings
markilux
made in germany
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 responding to 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. There is a risk of the
formation of water pockets in the awning
cover and the awning may be damaged or
fall.
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.

Wind speed V (km/h) maximum values < 28 28 38 49
Wind speed V (m/s) maximum values < 7.8 7.8 10.6 13.6
The awning complies with the wind resistance category requirements named in the CE
conformity mark (explanation see "handover declaration"). The CE conformity mark states an
agreement to be proved according to the valid European guidelines requirements, the
corresponding declarations can be requested via the authorized markilux service centre.

7. Leaves, snow and foreign bodies
9. Motor in case of 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. At approaching storm or bad weather fronts, severe gusts can
occur suddenly to which even a control can not react immediately. 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. A build up of snow behind the awning can be avoided by
installation of snow stoppers (snow collecting grid or the like) or regular removal of the accumulated snow.
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 authorized markilux specialist 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 installed at a height less than 2.5
metres above accessible traic ways, then the awning may only be operated by a pushbutton switch which enables the moving parts to
be viewed. 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.

markilux.com
15.2 Cleaning the awning cover
The awning cover is equipped with special impregnation which reduces at every cleansing. For post-impregnation, commercial tent
impregnation can be used. By re-impregnation, no new condition of the cover can be achieved yet.
Remove dust periodically with a so brush in dry condition. Remove leaves, twigs and similar debris immediately. Remove small stains on the
awning cover with commercial, preferably liquid mild detergent added to water (water temperature approx. 30°C, soap solution 5 %). Rinse
thoroughly with water until all traces of the detergent have been removed.
15.3 Cleaning the awning frame
For cleansing of the awning frame, use commercial detergent for sensitive surfaces (pH-value between 5 and 8). Aggressive acids and scraping
materials (like grinding fleece, emery, sand, pumice, etc.) are not allowed because they could alter the surface totally.
15.4 Characteristics resulting from the production and manufacture of awning fabrics
Awning covers are industrially manufactured textile products which serve both a functional and a decorative role. Although only first-class,
quality controlled fabric is used in production, there are limits to the degree of perfection that can be achieved. Awning owners occasionally
complain about certain imperfections in the fabric due to lack of knowledge. Defects actually to complain are only those which influence the
cover life span. The following specified imperfections influence the awning cover durability and usage practicality in no way.
• Dogleg and wrinkle creases
At processing, like e.g. trimming, sewing and
winding up of the cover onto the awning
frame, dogleg traces can result which can not
be avoided. Viewed against the light, the user
of the awning has the impression that he
sees dark stripes.
• Chalk and write eect
As with the previously mentioned processes,
the cover may show a light change in colour
(pigment shiing) at folded spots caused by
kinking the fibre.
• Winding folds / waviness
Winding folds/rippling: This occurs due to the
permanent coiling and uncoiling of the cover
on the
roller. This eect can be explained by the fact,
that
the material is thicker close to the seams,
coils more
loosely between the seams of the cover. This
eect
can occur both directly next to the seam as
well as
also in the middle of web.
• Other irregularities
Irregularities caused by the production
process which cannot be avoided, such as
• Knots, thread thickening and thinning,
which can be seen in the cloth as points
of light or as nubs
• Colour deviations in cloths produced in
webs (e.g. in triangular shades)
• Individual thread breakages and
expansions at the seams with resulting
sagging
• Sagging of the cloth due to its own
weight or aer the formation of a "water
sack".
can occur, and are unavoidable in
production.
15.5 Flexing of the awning frame
The profile of the wider systems' awning frame can flex as well because of own weight. This occurrence does not influence the awning
function and running qualities.
16. Tested awning cover
The certificate "STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®" guarantees that no harmful dyes or chemicals were used in the making of markilux sunsilk snc
and sunvas snc awning covers.
UPF = Ultraviolet Protection Factor
Fabrics made of sunsilk snc and sunvas snc achieve the highest possible solar protection factor for textiles (UPF 50+).
An awning fabrics with an ultraviolet protection factor of 50+ enables you to sit out safely in the sun fiy times
longer than you would otherwise be able to do without suering sunburn, if you were to rely solely on the
protection provided by your skin. Max. duration of sunbathing under your awning = own protection time x 50
Test mark "Selfcleaning inspired by nature"
Awning fabrics made from sunvas snc and sunsilk snc oer a self-cleaning eect in rain (a
minimum of 14° awning pitch is required to ensure water run-o).

Extend the awning by actuating the pushbutton switch for
extension/retraction. With radio-controlled operation, your
markilux specialist must exactly explain the functions on the radio
remote control to you, since, depending on the equipment, he can
set these for you individually.
Observe here the separate operating instructions of the motor and,
if available, of the controller manufacturer. The final stop for awning
extension/retraction is limited. The end stop for the extension
direction will be set by your specialist dealer.

ATTENTION – risk of injury!
The LED lights can heat up a lot! The lighting has to be switched o for some some minutes to cool down before you touch the individual
lamps.
ATTENTION: You must never hang any objects or similar in front of the lamps, and it should be ensured that there are no objects
immediately underneath the projection profile both in retracted and in extended state.
Observe in particular the safety clearances in "Important notes".
ATTENTION – danger to life!: Do not grab or pull the mains leads (230 V)! Do not suspend any objects from these mains leads!
The mobility of the mains lead is limited in temperatures below zero. Therefore it has to be ensured, whether the electrician has protected
the connection of your lighting via an RCCB (30mA), so that any eventual cable breakage does not pose any hazard.
ATTENTION: For safety reasons, the electronic transformer switches o automatically at a temperature of 80°C, and switches on
again aer an appropriate cooling down period..
Automatic switcho: thanks to the integrated timer, the spotlights switch o automatically (io-home control technology: aer 6 hours. The
lighting can be reactivated by double-clicking either the switch or the remote control.
The radiation intensity of these LED lamps is harmless to people and underruns the RG 2 area acc. EN 62471. However, it is suggested not to
look for a long time at the centre of the light source.

ATTENTION
For awnings with a controller, the automatic control is to be switched o beforehand and the wind sensor secured by disconnecting the
power supply! Kindly consult also the information sheet "Important instructions for the users …"
In order to eliminate accumulated dirt on the awning frame, only
commercially available household detergents for delicate surfaces
(pH-value: between 5 und 8) are to be used. Caustic acids and
materials which cause scratches (like fleece containing abrasive
material, emery, sand, pumice etc.) are not allowed, since they could
strongly change the surface.
Accumulations of dirt in the lateral guide rails (1) in the area of
the tracfix system (2) may lead to noises during retraction and
extension. The development of noise can be minimised through
regular cleaning and polishing of the track area (3).
