PROTECTING THE SUNSETTER FABRIC
FROM MILDEW
If it is necessary to roll the awning up
wet, be sure to roll it out to dry when
the weather is better. While the vinyl
awning fabric itself won't mildew,
mildew can form on the dust and dirt
allowed to accumulate on the fabric. If
the fabric is rolled up and stored when
wet, the moisture will promote the
formation of mildew. Do not use caustic
cleaners.
CLEANING THE FABRIC
Cleaning the awning regularly will
extend the life of the fabric and prevent
the formation of mildew. Call 1-800-876-
2340 to order a SunSetter cleaning and
maintenance kit.
FOR EASE OF OPERATION
If it becomes difficult to raise and lower
the awning height, apply some of the
supplied wax to the small tracks on the
inside of the outer arms.
CAUTION: NEVER USE A BARBEQUE
GRILL (Figure 11), ANY TYPE OF PATIO
HEATER (Figure 12) OR FIREPLACE
(Figure 13) UNDER YOUR SUNSETTER
AWNING.
ENJOY YOUR AWNING!!!!

The awning fabric and the structure
are not designed to support the load
of water pooling on the fabric or
excessive windy conditions.
WARNING: YOU MUST PREVENT RAIN
WATER FROM ACCUMULATING OR
POOLING ON THE FABRIC! FAILURE
TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE
COLLAPSE OF THE STRUCTURE,
WHICH COULD CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY!
Damage to the awning fabric, arms
and mechanism caused by water
pooling or windy conditions, is not
covered by the manufacturer product
warranty.
NOTE: Optional Rain-Away-Arches help
prevent water from accumulating on
the fabric. To purchase Rain-Away-
Arches call our sales department at
1-800-876-2340.
TO PREVENT RAIN WATER FROM
ACCUMULATING ON THE FABRIC,
you must lower or raise an arm on
one side of the awning to allow the
rain water to run off (creating enough
drop, front to back or left to right) –
see figures 9 and 10.
CAUTION: If lowering or raising one
arm is not enough and water still
accumulates on the fabric, you must
fully retract your awning against the
house.
WARNING: FAILURE TO TILT THE
AWNING ENOUGH FOR APPROPRIATE
DRAINAGE MAY RESULT IN THE
COLLAPSE OF THE STRUCTURE, WHICH
COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
WHEN LEAVING THE AWNING
UNATTENDED:
To prevent water from accumulating and
pooling on the fabric, you must set the
awning with at least one arm angled
back to the wall bracket, and lower that
arm to create enough drop (front to
back) and allow rain water to run off.
WARNING: WHEN THE WEATHER
FORECAST IS UNCLEAR, AND COULD
POSSIBLY BE STORMY, THE AWNING
MUST BE RETRACTED COMPLETELY
AGAINST THE HOUSE WHEN
UNATTENDED.

maintenance kit.
FOR EASE OF OPERATION
If it becomes difficult to raise and lower
the awning height, apply some of the
supplied wax to the small tracks on the
