3.2 Intended use and place of use
The function of the awning is to protect against sunlight and reduce reection in the space under which it is
located. The awning is intended to remain in the place it was installed. It is only meant to extend and retract to
provide shade and glare control. The awning may be operated by children.
WARNING
Any use other than the aforementioned IS PROHIBITED, since the operating conditions may create
hazards for individuals. IT IS PROHIBITED to use the awning as a support base for objects and/or to support
people.
Improper use releases the manufacturer of any damage caused to persons or property. Failure to comply with the
conditions of use automatically voids any type of guarantee provided by the manufacturer.
WARNING
In the event of rain, wind or snow, CLOSE the awning completely. Danger of personal injury or damage to
objects.
INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Operation in icy conditions may damage the awning!
The product can be placed at any height above the ground over a minimum level of 98.5 inches. If there is an
opening/closing switch (only with motorized awning), it must be located in a protected position, at a minimum
height of 60 inches from the ground and in a area that is not hazardous when entered.
WARNING
Use a locking switch (with key) if the awning is installed in sensitive locations such as schools, hospitals,
retirement homes, etc. If the awning is equipped with a radio control, keep it out of the reach of children.
The radio control can also be used outdoors, provided the system has an IP55 degree of protection. The space
available at the time of installation must take into account the range of movement and allow the awning to open
at its full extension.
WARNING
It is prohibited to install or place ladders or any xed object near the awning which may reduce the space
required by the awning.
