specification of our products without prior notice.
Important Information
• Please ensure that the canopy is erected on a stable, level and sturdy surface.
• Ideally, the canopy should be fixed to a level concrete patio base using appropriate fixings. If the canopy is to stand on grass, it is important that
the canopy is level in order to ensure a smooth retracting mechanism, and the canopy should be secured into place using fixing pegs (supplied).
• Please note that this canopy is not designed to be used as a rain shelter, despite the polyester canopy being showerproof.
• We recommend that the polyester canopy be fully retracted when not in use.
• The polyester canopy should be fully removed in anticipation of strong winds and during the winter period.
• The polyester canopy must be completely dry before storage.
• Eyelets in the canvas are drain holes to prevent water collecting and stretching the canvas.
Maintenance
• To clean the polyester canopy, sponge clean using a mild soap and water solution and leave to dry naturally. Do not use bleach, acid or
other solvents.
• Do not machine wash.
• Do not tumble dry.
Safety
In order to gain the most from your new canopy, attention should be paid to the following safety precautions:
1. Periodically check bolts and fittings for tightness as they may work loose over time, taking care not to over-tighten fittings as this may
damage the metalwork. For this reason, we do not recommend the use of power tools to assemble the canopy.
2. Please note that the metal frame is not to be used as a climbing frame.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
• PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CANOPY IS NOT FIRE RETARDANT AND CAN BURN
• DO NOT USE NAKED FLAMES IN THE VICINITY OF THE CANOPY
• BARBECUES AND/OR PATIO HEATERS SHOULD NOT BE USED EITHER UNDERNEATH OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE CANOPY
8. Attaching the polyester canopy to the runners
Push each of the 8 canopy tubes through the tube holders of the runners then through the sleeves in the canopy and connect to the centre runners, ensuring that the push
button mechanism properly locates to lock components together.
