1 Reading the Maintenance Instructions and Directions for Use
Read the Maintenance Instructions and Directions for Use before using the awning for the first
time. For personal safety, it is important that these instructions are complied with. Non-
compliance means the manufacturer does not carry any liability.
All instructions and directions for use supplied with the awning must be kept by the customer and
passed on to the new owner if the awning is sold on.
1.1 Warnings

2 Safety notes
2.1 Fundamental safety notes
Personal injury
Risk of personal injury due to improper use of the awning.
Please read and observe the safety notes contained in this section.
Product and property damage
Risk of damage to the product and property due to improper use of the awning.
Please read and observe the safety notes contained in this section.
2.1.1 Operation
It must be assured that no children or people unable to properly assess the risks of improper or
incorrect use should be able to operate the awning. Remote controls must be kept out of reach
of children.
The setting and operating instructions supplied separately by the manufacturer of the motor,
switches and controls must also be observed.
2.1.2 Use in winds
The awning complies with the requirements of the wind resistance class shown on the CE
declaration of conformity printed in the Assembly Instructions. The wind resistance class
achieved after assembly of the awning is heavily dependent on the type and number of fixings
used as well as the installation surface involved.
The awning may only be used up to the wind resistance class specified by the company
assembling the awning. This may deviate from the wind resistance class stated by the
manufacturer.
DANGER
CAUTION

2.1.3 Explanation of wind resistance classes
Wind resistance class 0
Wind resistance class 0 equates (in accordance with DIN EN
13561) either to a level of performance that is not required or has
not been measured, or to a product that does not meet the
requirements of Class 1. The awning must never be used in
windy conditions.
Wind resistance class 1
The awning may only remain open until winds have reached wind
strength 4.
Definition acc. to the Beaufort scale: light breeze, light wind
Wind moves small tree branches and twigs, lifts dust and loose
paper
Wind speed 20-27 km/h = 5.5-7.4 m/s
Wind resistance class 2
The awning may only remain open until winds have reached wind
strength 5.
Definition acc. to the Beaufort scale: fresh breeze, fresh wind
Small trees in leaf begin to sway;
whitecaps form at sea.
Wind speed 28-37 km/h = 7.5-10.4 m/s
Wind resistance class 3
The awning may only remain open until winds have reached wind
strength 6.
Definition acc. to Beaufort scale: strong breeze
Larger tree branches move, umbrellas are hard to hold, telegraph
lines whistle in the wind
Wind speed 38-48 km/h = 10.5-13.4 m/s

2.1.4 Use in rain
If the awning is pitched at less than 25% = 14°, measured from a horizontal position, it must not
be opened during rainfalls. There is a risk of water pooling in the awning fabric, which could
result in damage to the awning.
2.1.5 Use in ice and snow
The awning must not be opened in snowfalls or when there is a risk of frost. There is a risk that
the awning could be damaged.
The automatic controls must be switched off if there is a risk of frost.
2.1.6 Obstacles
The space needed for the awning to open must always be kept clear. There is a risk of people
being crushed in this space.
2.1.7 Automatic controls
An awning must never be left unattended when open. The automatic controls may fail under
extreme conditions (e.g. power failures, defects, sudden storms). There is a risk that the awning
could be damaged or crash down.
Our recommendation: If you vacate the area, switch the awning from automatic to manual
control and leave the awning retracted.
If there is a risk of frost, the awning system must be switched from automatic to manual control
to prevent it from opening automatically. The system must not be used in frosty conditions or if
there is a risk of frost.
2.1.8 Operation in the event of a power failure
A motorised awning cannot retract if there is no power. In very windy areas where power failures
are common, consider using a manual emergency device (not available for all models). The
manual emergency device
must be installed at a height of no more than 1.80 metres. If there is a risk of frost,
the awning system must be switched from automatic to manual control to prevent it from moving
automatically.
The system must not be used in frosty conditions or if there is a risk of frost.
In an emergency, if the awning's drive fails and a gale or storm is impending, the awning can be
retracted using ropes or lashing belts as a makeshift solution. In this instance, wrap a rope or
lashing belt around the centre joints of the awning arms and then tighten until the awning is
securely closed. The folding arms must also be secured to the awning frame to prevent them
from swinging out. Roll up the overhanging fabric and tie it to the awning. The aim here is to give
the wind as little area to work with as possible.

2.1.9 Checking and monitoring the awning
For personal safety, it is important that these safety notes are complied with and kept in a safe
place.
•The performance of a product depends on how it is assembled and installed.
•Check the awning system for signs of wear or damage.
•On motorised systems, check the electrical leads for damage.
•Do not use units that are in need of repair.
•Monitor the awning when it opens and retracts and keep people clear of the area until the
awning has fully opened or retracted.
•The assembly work may only be performed by trained personnel.
Guidelines for systems with automatic controls
•When performing maintenance or assembly work on the covered area of the awning,
disconnect the awning from the power supply.
2.2 Intended use
Awning systems are designed to open in order to protect exposed areas from undesired sun.
Failure to use the product as intended may result in severe danger.
Alterations not envisaged by weinor, such as attaching items or conversions, may only be
carried out with the manufacturer's written consent.
Additional loads on the awning caused by hanging objects from it or by anchoring ropes may
result in damage or cause the awning to fall and are therefore not permissible.
2.3 Improper use
Only use original spare parts on the awning. Only use the awning as a sun protection device.
Never affix/hang heavy objects to/from the awning. Never open the awning or allow it to be
opened in winds stronger than wind category 2.

4 Cleaning
Personal injury
There is a risk of motorised awnings being activated unintentionally.
Disconnect the awning from the power supply (e.g. by disconnecting the fuse) before
doing any cleaning work.
If awnings are operated by several users, a priority locking device must be activated
(controlled interruption of the power supply from outside), making it impossible to
open or retract the awning at all.
4.1 Removing foliage and foreign bodies
Foliage and other foreign bodies lying on the awning fabric and the awning housing must be
removed immediately. There is a risk that the awning could be damaged or crash down.
4.2 Cleaning the powder-coated aluminium parts
4.2.1 In saltwater areas
Damage to the product
Particularly in saltwater areas, there is a possibility that salt may disperse or accumulate on the
product.
Wash off any salt deposits at regular intervals or as required, but no less than twice a
year.
Recommendation: Call in a specialist company to do the work for you.
This is a good way to protect the aluminium parts and their surface from being
corroded by salty water.
4.2.2 In non-saltwater areas
Clean the aluminium parts at least once a year, and even more often if heavily soiled. To clean,
use clean water and add a few drops of pH-neutral or very slightly alkaline detergent.

5 Maintenance
Personal injury
The safe and risk-free use of the awning can only be guaranteed if the system is checked and
maintenance is performed on it on a regular basis.
Observe the maintenance requirements and maintenance intervals.
Inspect the awning at regular intervals for signs of wear and tear or damage to the
awning material and frame.
Check the awning at regular intervals for signs of damage to the leads.
Do not use systems in need of repair. Ensure people keep clear of any dangerous
areas.
Should you detect any damage, contact a specialist retailer or a suitable service
company to carry out the repairs.
Carry out the following maintenance and care tasks as required, once every spring, or
whenever the awning has not been in use for a long time. Performing these tasks will
extend the operating life of your awning system.
Our recommendation: Call in a specialist company to carry out the necessary
maintenance and care work.
5.1 Lubricating all movable parts
Damage to the product
Use greases, sprays or liquids that contain elements of Teflon, PTFE or comparable agents. For
best results, use a water-repellent and soil-repellent lubricant.
The lubricant manufacturers' guidelines must be observed.
Do not use lubricants that corrode plastics.

9 Disassembly and disposal
Although this product does not contain any materials which pose a risk or danger to the
environment, the awning parts should nevertheless be disposed of properly. When
disassembling and disposing of the awning, fully slacken or secure the tensioned parts (e.g.
folding arms) first to prevent them from opening or extending unintentionally. A suitably qualified
company should be engaged to perform this task.
10 Noise level
When installed, the awning's noise level has been measured at below 70 dB(A).
